A sequel to an old film

Sequels invite curiousity. Will it share similarity to the previous one. Will it provide better fare or worse?

Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an excellent example. In the movie, good old Harrison Ford aka Dr. Indiana Jones, is back with the whip, a pistol and his trademark hat after 19 years since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade(1981). Dr. Jones(Ford) is an ace archaelogist- adventurer of the 1950s who has got the gift to unravel mysteries of the past.

In the fourth edition in the Indiana Jones series, Dr. Jones fights villanous USSR agents led by Agent Irina for the possession of a crystal skull made by higher powers -probably Martians.

As the adventure unfolds so does the family drama. In their mission to return the skull to its rightful hand, they travel to New Mexico, Connecticut , Mexico City and the jungles of Peru which provide a mix of exotic destinations. An excellent job in cinematography and well-balanced special effects.

It's a roller-coaster ride while joining Dr. Jones and his team in their adventure with your dear ones. It's a clean feel good family entertainment.
