Indy 4 on Blu-ray, who cares? - Blu-ray Forum

Marine Mike · 06-10-2008, 03:19 AM

Do you think that it'll make a difference coming out on Blu-Ray? Think the movie will be able to redeem itself like some other movies such as Cloverfield coming out on Blu-Ray?

EDIT:
What does Indy 4 have to 'redeem'?

I would have to say it will have to redeem itself to the fans of previous titles that were disappointed with the latest installment.

Therefore this poll/thread doesn't apply to everyone and it doesn't have to.

If you don't like it then you do not have to vote nor post in this thread.

First of all, Cloverfield sucked. I've always enjoyed action/adventure movies on BD because it brings me into the movie with astounding picture and audio quality. I've never seen Indy 4 but would like to when it releases on blu. I don't buy movies anymore so I just rent from now on.

I don't think it matters. I may get it if I can pay $10 for it, but it was underwhelming to put it mildly. The sad thing is that Harrison Ford was still pretty good, but the screenplay, especially the ending, was poor.

First of all no it did not, but thats your opinion so who cares.

I sure don't

WickyWoo · 06-10-2008, 03:27 AM

I had 3 criteria

His hat never leaves his head
He whips something
He gets a royal ass kicking (no one takes a beating like harrison ford, except maybe nathan fillion)

All 3 were satisfied. The movie certainly needed to be tightened up and shortened by 30min or so

The quality of the making-of documentary alone should be worth the price. CE3K bores the crap out of me, but that documentary is awesome

Remember the last scene? His hat was not on the entire time.

It must of been stapled to his head at the time.

why all the Indy hate? I thought it kicked ass..... It was well executed and I liked the story overall, I do agree it could have been shortended....but really its Indy at its core....the alien story worked well, explaining how us humans gained knowledge of how to build and farm to advance our civilization through the knowledge that these "Interdimesion travelers" brought to the world......havent we always wondered how the prymids were built? heres ur answer from Lucas and co.....I think people are too focused that its aliens and not on the why.....

Good Intentions · 06-10-2008, 03:33 AM

Indy 4 will look incredible on blu. I couldn't stop thinking that as I was watching the movie. Yes, the movie was flawed. But none of the Indy's have exactly been candidates for best picture at the Oscars. They are meant to be entertaining. This is a must on BD.

It was close enough. Those who removed his hat paid the price

I really didn't care about the aliens. Its just the whole 'City of Gold' thing has been played out way too many times. I was expecting something more original coming from Indy. Just think about what the other movies were about and compare. I did hear some people complaining about the ET element, but I agree with you thinking that it only added to the story in a different way. But to get back to my original point, 'City of Gold' has just been played out way too many times and too recent too with National Treasure 2.

True....I agree with the City of Gold getting played out, I was thinking that when I watched NT2 after I watched Indy and thought, hhmmm, its the same subject.....I think they couldnt afford to do another rewrite to the script when NT2 was being filmed and released or the entire project might have gotten canned. Im glad they didnt go with religion again as that would have gotten stale.

Considering I haven't seen it, and won't until it hits home video...

I TOTALLY believe it will redeem itself!

BStecke · 06-10-2008, 03:57 AM

I hated it the first time, liked it quite a bit the second. I'll buy it, and hopefully grow to love it as I do the original three.

What's it need to redeem? The crapload of money it made or all the good reviews it got?

GreenScar · 06-10-2008, 04:13 AM

Liked it and was entertained the first time. Liked it more the second, Loved it the third. Will be buying this on blu!

kobeson · 06-10-2008, 04:13 AM

I was a fan of the film personally, and I can't wait to see all 4 on Blu!

imo, the 3 sequels are all even:
Raiders 10/10
Temple 8/10
Crusade 8/10
Skull 8/10

CassilineKnight · 06-10-2008, 04:30 AM

Wow I can't believe people are hating on Indy 4. I thought it was AWESOME!

Its amazing that after all those years Harrison Ford still had it in him. This will be a must have for me.
