[QUOTE="The_lurkeR, post: 4244640, member: 11092"] I agree with what you said RangerWickett, this movie was extremely sloppy. To be brief, I give it a [I]generous[/I] 4 out of 10. But there's really no rewatchability value for this film. Saw it yesterday afternoon. Although I felt burned by Lucas with the awful Star Wars prequels, I thought Spielberg and Ford would help mollify Lucas and give us a decent movie. Unfortunately I was wrong. - I didn't mind the macguffin being of alien origin, but like Wickett said, nothing else about it or the storyline made much sense. - Way too much lazy CGI, it really seems to have made them lazy directors/producers. Could they really not afford to use a real warehouse and crates? (or prairie dog?!) - Far far too cheezy. They try to top the fun action of the originals by dialing everything up to 11, and it's just awful. Let's see... flying refrigerator, prairie dogs (straight out of Caddy Shack), crotch shots, monkeys, tarzan?!? What were these writers thinking? OK we open this scene with this big heavy machine slowly chopping a path through the jungle for our convoy... what's that? too slow?... you're right, screw it! Let's blow up that machine and start racing these duck cars through the [I](previously impermeable)[/I] jungle at 50 MPH! Whoo!! Hmm... I don't know, somethings missing... aww yeah how about some friggin' monkeys and tarzan swinging? Sweet!! Hey guys -- listen to this -- saw this great thing on a cartoon where driving off a cliff the car lands on a tree to cushion the fall, then -- get this -- springs back and smacks the villain... haha yeah that's great! Hmm... ok next, what could be better than one big silly waterfall survival? Eh that's been done... wait, how about 3!!! Yippee, where's our checks? With all the fake sets, sloppy plotting, and cheeze, there was just no real drama. It's like watching someone else play a bad arcade game... sure there's lots of action and special effects, but there's no point to it. There was no meat to this film. [/QUOTE]
