[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Zefram: [qb] Now a movie set in the '50s with evil Soviets, psychic warfare, and aliens is perfectly appropriate. However, Indiana Jones movies have always been about fantastic supernatural phenomenon; the sci-fi/alien angle just didn't feel like Indiana Jones to me. And, although it's not the film makers' fault that Harrison Ford is as old as he is and that a fourth film set in the '30s or '40s just wouldn't work out, the image of Indiana Jones in front of a mushroom cloud (although a cool scene) just doesn't seem right; it seems completely anachronistic.[/qb][/QUOTE]I have to disagree. To me, Indiana Jones has always been about [i]history[/i]. Jones is a [i]scientist[/i]. It's about Man's search for knowledge and understanding in the face of the Unknown, and about treating the traditions and mythologies of other cultures with respect. Besides, psychic powers and interdimensional beings [i]do[/i] fall into the category of fantastic supernatural phenomena in my book. [/QB][/QUOTE]
