I really liked the opening sequence in the cabaret, up to the escape by plane. After that it got a bit out of control. It's a clear #4 for me.Poor Temple of Doom I love that movie.

I would guess that the reason de-aging Mads Mikkelson was dodgier than de-aging Harrison Ford is that they had an extensive library of vintage footage of his character they were using to paint an 80s Indy face over Mr. Ford and/or his stand-in, whereas with Mikkelson they probably just used the computer's projection of what he looked like younger (to make that sound much simpler than it no doubt was) or if they were using reference materials from when he was younger they were disperate and not of him as that character. Also they just knew he'd be under less scrutiny.The biggest issue with the movie, for me, was the opening, which was thrilling, as it should be -- I suspect opening sequences are the most fun part of making Indiana Jones and James Bond movies -- but the de-aging CGI was only successful about half time time, flickering back and forth between "wow, that looks great" to "dear god, what am I looking at" from second to second. Weirdly, it was worst on Mads Mikkelson, rather than Harrison Ford, which was surprising to me.
I wouldn't say it "got people back in the theatres". People went to the theatres to see Top Gun. But it had no effect on any other movie. The pandemic (and economic hardship, at least in the UK) broke the cinema-going habit, and at this point it remains broken.Top Gun was the movie that, for the most part, got people back to the theaters. It's just not the same movie on a home TV.

It's not that cinema prices have gone up, but things associated with trips to the cinema - parking, food, drink - have gone up enormously in the UK.

Burger and fries or kebab £12 each? We paid around £20 per head, light meal and coffee. Restaurant meal is around £40 per head.
Oh, steaks have more than doubled since the pandemic, but I haven't had one. Which suits my partner, who is vegetarian.
