The Last Enemy (2008)
Too confusing, too lame
Could have been good, but poorly done. Plot too hard to follow to keep anyone interested. Computer story utterly unreasonable. It had possibilities, as government surveillance, big brother, and 1984 are all too possible these days, in the name of "war on terror". But this show fails to deliver
Insane scene where super secret high tech computer is tapped and guy had to bang on router network. Not once, but repeatedly over many minutes. Unwilling to suspend disbelief over that and many others.
Amazing lack of production values, looks like the whole budget was for a half dozen large LCD computer monitors.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Generally fun
Fun summer popcorn film.
Lots of places make no sense. I'll comment on the first one in the movie. It opens with four folks in a hot rod, and they 'race' with an Army officer's car, a 1950 Ford.
Lucas has written many times that he was nuts about cars as a kid, which lead to American Graffiti.
The hot rod was only show a few times, it had a 32 Ford grill with the V8 logo, but it was not a flat head Ford V8, it looked to be a Chevy small block, or perhaps an Olds. The stock 1950 Ford coupe might have had a V8, its hard to tell.
But there is no way that the 50 Ford could keep up with the hot rod. Completely unbelievable.
I'm all for willing suspension of disbelief in a movie like this, but it sure started out badly. There is no reason to make the scene so clearly false
