It seems like Indy has done it all, from retrieving the Arc of the Covenant, to saving an Indian village, and even saving his own father. So when it came time for a fourth movie, what was left for him to do? Not much – which is just what this highly-anticipated film is worth.

Set in the 1950's, Indiana Jones' (Harrison Ford) newest adventure begins in a Southwest desert where he narrowly escapes from Soviet agents and also a nuclear testing site. Indy returns to the college he teaches at, only to find he has been fired due to his recent activities. On his way out of town, Indy meets Mutt (Shia LaBeouf). Mutt propositions Indy to help him on a mission to find his mother and, in the process, potentially make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history -- the Crystal Skull of Akator.

As Indy and Mutt set out for the Peru, they soon realize they are not alone in their search. Soviet agents are also hot on the trail of the Crystal Skull. Chief among them is Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), whose elite military unit is searching the every corner of the earth for the skull, which they believe can help the Soviets dominate the world.

Don’t get me wrong, there was a ton of amazing visuals as well as action sequences (and kudos to Harrison Ford for doing all his own stunts at his age). But, the whole movie seemed very anti-climatic due to its predictability. For instance, when Mutt asks Indy to help find his mother, we can tell his mother is Marion (Karen Allen) without even seeing her. And this sort of caused a ripple effect throughout the rest of the film.

Ultimately, if you have high hopes for the fourth Indy installment, you will be thoroughly disappointed. However, if you try to separate this movie from all the others (after all it does take place a good twenty years later), then it won’t feel like a complete waste of money.
