Cinema Science

Here is the trailer for probably what is probably the most anticipated movie of the year, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I wish I could put into words how excited this got me. Maybe it was the iconic music or actually seeing Harrison Ford in a movie again but this trailer fully captivated me. That introduction shot of Indiana Jones is perfect, just the hand picking up the hat and we see his full body in shadow, then followed by the perfect line. I also liked that the action is presented in long, wide shots, so that you get a feel for the location that it is taking place. Some of the effects seem to be practical instead of straight CGI, when Indy is driving along in the jeep it looks more like something from the 80's than todays action films, which is exactly what and Indiana Jones movie should look like.
