Does Raiders have much to convert into a good showpiece? 3D could help the famous boulder, but then maybe not. I guess there are some desert vistas that could look nice...sadly I think we know that the spirit inside the Ark wouldn't be popping out and swirling around the theater though.

I understand why some people don’t like it, but I couldn’t stand the complaints about things like realism in a series that has never been realistic. Peak fanger.
Personally I think Temple of Doom is a much worse movie, but I’d still love to see all of them get conversions. They’re the kind of movies that suit 3D perfectly!

The first 3 Indy films cause the viewer to not care that they're unrealistic, Indy 4 gets flak because it lacked that same magic. Nobody got bent out of shape over Indy atop the sub in Raiders, everyone scoffed at nuking the fridge. Like the prequels, I suspect it was because Lucas discovered CGI and no one stopped him from going buckwild with it, and the CGI also didn't look believable, which was incongruous with the prior 3 films looking like they were on location. Somehow Lucas upped the stakes but made them lamer, like how Raiders' snakes were more of a threat than CGI piranha ants.
For me, a problem was that LucasArts had already done an "Indy vs the Soviets" installment and it was so much better realized than this.
