- Unrealistic: I understand that most action movies, and in particular the Indiana Jones series, is supposed to be somewhat campy and that suspension of disbelief is a given. But there is a limit. For example, you can't survive an atomic explosion inside a refrigerator. And even if you did survive you'd probably need serious medical attention, not just a simple scrub down in a bunker.
- Lack of Development: The characters lacked substance. Even Indiana was kind of a caricature of himself. There was virtually no growth in his relationship with Mutt. Surviving an adventure in South America together does not eliminate eighteen years of paternal absence and lies.
- Aliens: WTF?! Wrong genre. I was actually willing to accept the idea until Cate Blanchett's eyes melted and a spaceship flew out of the ground into outer space. That's horrible even by sci-fi standards.
Seriously, this movie watched like a bad fan-script. A first draft for that matter. I'm going to pretend this never happened and end the series with The Last Crusade.
