I can't believe most of this sets are no CGI generated! The stair entrance, the door of the chamber and finally the chamber itself! This makes me appreciate this movie even more.
The 4k Transfer looks really good because it takes some of that soft light glossy sheen away.
This had the best production design and cinematography of all the Jones movies ❤️❤️
I'll pretend I never read that
@@razzy345 Why? Does it hurt your little feelings that someone different from you has their own opinion?
Best productio design ?
Sorry but if it did not translate well onto the screen its not a great production design .... its beautiful yes but not great. The first 2 Indy movies had wonderfully atmospheric sets without needing lots of mechanical moving parts, its all about a sense of visual aesthetics to get the atmosphere right ...
How can you even put the Well of Souls, the Map Room, Marion's Nepal salon and the opening booby trap/rolling boulder set in Raiders below anything in Skull ???
The aliens and alien spacecraft in Skull would have been done a thousand times more visually epic by Ridley Scott so don't rank it as great design please ....
I think the case can be made that this is an objectively false statement. The Indiana Jones movies were meant to reflect the kind of lighting seen in noir movies of the 1940s with the swashbuckling action of adventure serials from the 30s. Think Casablanca, They were Expendable, and A Place in the Sun when inferring the kind of lighting tones Spielberg wanted in the original 3 movies. The cinematographer in the first 3 pictures understood the assignment, his new cinematographer, Janus Kasminski, while I’m a fan of his work in all of Spielberg’s other movies, missed the mark more or less when it came to how the lighting, specifically shadows works in an Indiana Jones movie. The best shots of Indy are him in darkness, or stepping from light into a shadow. Or the camera, like in a John Ford movie, pushing in through the light to get to the character. Those elements are few and far between in Krystal Skull, but ironically are all over the place in Dial of Destiny
The practical sets are extremely impressive.
I think this movie needed to be made about 7 years earlier - it would have made a huge difference to Indy's look and physical abilities. If memory serves, this one was made within 2 years of Ford breaking his leg.
No, that happened after this movie his physical abilities were great in Crystal Skull. You can especially tell in the area 51 warehouse sequence when he's climbing and running across the crates that he's in incredible shape for his age and looks pretty good for his age as well.
@@devanworkman8745 You're correct. Thanks for your reply. I agree - he did look good for his age. I just wish they had made the final movie around this time (2008 to 2010 timeframe) and had made Crystal Skulls around 2000. I would have just preferred him retiring from his 'grave-robbing' in his mid-60s than at nearly 80.
Bruh, so much care and effort went into this film yet people still say it's shit.
I am a huge Indy fan but barely remember this one. Brain trying to block it out I guess.
@@slipperyjim1497 I generally rewatch it as much as the other ones to be honest.
Same the same amount of care wasn't put into the script, the plot or the studio looking lighting
The sets are beautiful but the mechanisms are way too smooth that they look like cgi ... the lighting lacks a sense of mystery, more fogging needed ...
The cinematography also feels less grand in Skull unlike the first 3 movies ....
Sometimes great efforts are dismantled by some other department's lack of finesse, sadly ...
@@MaccamatBux Same here. People hate on it just to hate on it because it's different from the first three.
God I love movies
I don't understand why they didn't just make the city El Dorado? Why did they make a fictional old city that's similar to El Dorado? Why not just make it El Dorado?
Copyright problems possibly
Because El Dorado doesn't actually exist, either. It only ever existed as a legend, and it never had any connection to the crystal skulls.
@@flyingace1939 The thing with old legends is that we can't ever be sure what the legends are based on, so there's always some mystery there. What if there actually was a city like that?
It's much more interesting than to just make shit up. I just don't see any reason why they couldn't call this city Eldorado instead?
I don't care if El Dorado wasn't connected to Crystal Skulls in the legends. As far as I know the holy grail didn't cure you according to old legends either. There's nothing wrong in connecting different legends in creative ways.
But it's much more interesting when the story is at least partly related to real history and real legends. So that's why it would have been cooler if the city would have been Eldorado instead of a made up city. Eldorado is at least a real legend and real people have tried to find the golden city.
In the movie Indy says akator is eldarado because the conquistadors called it that
@@omarcarlos537 Does he really say that? Are you sure? Do you remember in what part of the movie he says that? Haven't watched it in a while
What hurts this film more than anything is the color grading.
Good Work 👍
wow
durante as gravações indiana Jones e o reino da caveira de cristal eles gravam foi gravado nos Estados Unidos e reino unido começaram as filmagens dia no 21 de junho de 2007 no dia 5 de julho de 2007 no dia 22 de outubro de 2007 no mesmo ano
The physical sets are beautiful BUT the moving mechanisms of the sets are way too smooth, so much that they look like CGI ....
Ancient things are supposed to be creaky, the moving stairs and complicated door should function more naturalistically so that it does not look like CGI ..
In terms of lighting, the scenes probably needed more physical fogging and variation of light and darks to bring out the grandeur and the moods ...
In contrast, Raiders had wonderfully atmospheric visuals, absolutely gorgeous because the lighting was so naturalistic and they managed light and darks to the effect of bringing out a sense of mystery about the locations .... The first 2 Indy movies had great lighting crews ... Last Crusade a little lesser but still quite good ....
Sometimes absolute clarity is undesirable because it makes things look unrealistically too sharp and clear like CGI ....in real life we are used to seeing things through slightly dusty atmosphere esp adventure movie like this ...
In a real temple, none of that stuff would work like it does. It would have eroded and gotten stuck over the years.
10:20 hey kid, pretend we are overwhelmed by this set design for the cameras
09:58 great reference man
People complain about computer generated effects. They say they want practical effects and then when they get them, they think they are CGI. If they don't like anything about the movie, they scoff at the CGI.
"i have a bad feeling about this!"
I did not have any problems with the plot of the film, as it follows some peoples beliefs, just like the religious artifacts of the previous films. There are people who believe that ancient civilizations in the amazon were created by aliens and that there even are holes there that can transport people to other dimensions. It's just not as "popular" as the beliefs from the previous films. Some believe that the explorer Percy Fawcett, who was searching for what he called "The lost city of Z"(some say it was El Dorado) was abducted by aliens or got trapped in another dimension while searching for the lost city in the Amazon. So yeah. The plot of this film isn't as far fetched as the original films. The problem is how it was executed. I'm sure they have lots of material in storage and if they re-edited it and added/removed some scenes, it can be a lot better. (We can wonder why we haven't seen any "special features" deleted scenes from it on the DVD/Blu Ray's)
Why couldnt James mangold think of these ideas spent so much on Indy 5 and it just dragged.I guess we say goodbye after Indy 5.I am sure Lucas and Steven regretted not making Indy 5 after the box office disaster.
Nobody sets out to make a bad movie… nobody.
No, but some ignore the red flags and bad ideas that get put into the script.
everyone working on the movie read the part in the script: "Indiana Jones while in a 1950's Lead insulated non-functioning Fridge is hurled into the air hundreds and hundreds of feet, crashes and bounces dozens of times until Indy finally spills out from behind, unharmed." That should've been the moment everyone known they were making a bad movie.
@@freddytheplatypus826that scene is intentionally silly.
It may just not be your taste.
@freddytheplatypus826 The fridge scene is fine it's not like Indy jumped out of a crashing plane in a boat raft and still survived. Oh wait, he did. The only two parts that were a bit kooky were the boat catapulting into the water and it going down three waterfalls and then vine swinging scene in the jungle.
@@devanworkman8745 That was bad too. If you read the transcript of the original Indy meetings Spielberg was the one who kept coming up with really bad ideas (such as the raft used in #2).
Would’ve been a better movie with better casting. Should’ve had ShortRound instead of Mutt. Someone other than Cate Blanchett as the main villain 🙄 The alien stuff makes sense for that time era but the monkey swinging and Shia is Indy’s son bullshit 🙄
Yeah, Chris Evans looks more like Indy's Son to me!
🤡
this movie had great design, cinematography and the score was alright...shame the story and charactrs were so weak and forgettable that they basically sucked balls....
So Akator doesn’t exist but el dorado does now? 😂 el dorado doesn’t exist either.
Spielberg said they made up Akator. El Dorado is obviously fake too but they didn't invent it.
Neither cities do, but in the movie, Akator and El Dorado are both the same Indiana even says it.
The cgi was absolutely terrible!! And that scene with shia swinging through the jungle with the monkeys was the worst scene i have ever seen
why was it in South America? It should’ve been in mexico
This film hurt me, Indiana Jones is my favourite franchise...Then George Lucas had to have one of his funny turns and F**K up the frachise with this turd. I closed my eyes on several occasions in the cinema because of how bad some scenes were. The monkey swinging bit was where I went completely numb and decided it cannot possibly get any worse.
Bro this movie is hardly a turd. Sure it’s the weakest of the franchise but don’t try to pretend like the other films didn’t have ridiculously stupid elements too. Indy holding onto the side of a submarine for hundreds of miles? Indy jumping out of a plane in a rubber raft and sledding down a mountain? Indy copying his entire style off of some random grave robber he encountered? All stupid things in the other films
@@Luke101 Reading my comment back maybe I've gone too far, there are parts in the film i did enjoy. It just feels like the ridiculous bits in the originals feel more acceptable for some reason. I think it could be the large use of cgi maybe? The lighting just looks very off in this film especially the opening scene. And the way the russians behave comes across as very childish. Look we are all lowering our guns....now we are raising them again with smiles on our faces because we are winning now..your friend is helping us. I dunno, it just doesn't have that gritty dangerous feel about it, I think if Geoge Lucas wasn't involved it would have been so much better.
@@razzy345 Bro, just take the L, you obviously have zero clue what your talking about. I don't know what you're mad about, but tearing down a movie that a lot of people, exponentially more talented than you, worked on, isn't going to solve whatever personal issues you have.
@@razzy345 without Lucas you wouldn’t have an Indy film at all. At least he takes risks and try out different things instead of trying to regurgitate the same thing over and over. If he’d did that then you’d STILL complain!
@@GyvonJante Looking back on my previous comment I may have been a little pissed off that evening, however you have to admit he did drop the ball with this one.
All that money spent on a flop!
Skull wasn’t a flop.
Raiders it's my favourite one but i don't know how can people and media say IJ4 was a flop?! It's far better than temple of doom and it has tons of action, comedy, mystery, it's well made! It's not a flop only because it earned less in this case.
Kingdom would have fared better without the excessive use of CGI and a tighter story. The alien angle was kind of hokey; and overall the film should have been more serious, and less comedic. That whole nuclear blast, refrigerator scene really broke the suspension of disbelief.
@@wespozo True, but it didn't have to remind us so quickly.
@@thunderboltproductionsshpkRaiders is my favourite as well but I'll pretend I never read that about it being better...you feeling ok?
Unfortunately one of the worst Spielberg’s movies at all. Crap screenplay and not the best looking CGI did the job. I believe the fifth installment may reach the same level….alas.
This was the worst Indy so far.
The search fir depends
Too much information dude nobody needs to know you have to search for your depends.
WHY HOLD THIS??!!! TOO MANNY COOKS IN THE KITCHEN NOT NEEDED. After all they been through there cloths look so cleaned and pressed lol, Marrry Ann's hair looks too 80s and NOT 50Ss at all..???the dialog is forced like a sue of explination and not an expression of fear...??. uuggh, I cant!!????
Nah, you're just looking for stuff to complain about since it hurt your feelings by not having it copy the original trilogy and having its own new ideas and story. Also, it's Marion, not Marrry Ann. 🤦♂️
