Hi,
I saw the film on Sunday. IMHO it's a good, entertaining movie compared to other contemporary movies. But IMHO it's only mediocre compared to the last crusade. I guess that the film would have worked better if they didn't tried to add actors from the past films at all costs. What I didn't like was the optical quality - especially the scenes in Nevada looked more like a bad video-projection. The remaining film was "okay", but far from the 70mm-print of the last crusade I was seeing in the Royal Palast (RIP) back in 1989. In fact Derann's Super8-print of the last crusade might look better. (No, I was seeing a 35mm-print - there was film running through the projector while I left during the credits!)
Even though I might sound a little bit disappointed, I recommend this film to all fans of Indiana Jones. And it's definitely worth been seen on the big screen.

Hi Rob I tend to be a bit one eyed towards DTS its got the edge over Dolby Digital, when we installed DTS it was about the time Master Commander came out, the sound system was so responsive towards the DTS the sound quality was impressive, very few screens have it out here which is a pity, funny thing a couple of years ago a new multi-plex opened near here and one night we went to it to watch a movie at this new cinema, the manager at that time offered me a look around projection box tour etc well after the movie they asked me what I thought I told them their sound system was just ho-hum nothing great middle of the road stuff, followed by many other faults that the cinema had, they also had the bad habit of cranking the sound level up just to impress people so they thought, my thinking was the opposite. I told them I like quality sound not quantity, well I did hear that my name was "mud" around there for a while, well one day both the head projectionist and manager turned up at our humble cinema and spent the day with me and we got on really well. I showed them what a well tuned sound system with more powerfull amps and speakers can achieve without the need to blow people away or for them to leave the cinema with there ears ringing, whats even more amazing after this meeting they still offered me free movie passes, its a pity that many multi-plexes might only have one projectionist on and things like focus etc are not kept an eye on, so if a film is out of focus they dont do anything about it till someone complains and by that time they have some disapointed people on there hands, well that my theory for what its worth.
Graham.
