Following a trail from America to Venice to the deserts of the Holy Land, it's up to Indy (Harrison Ford) to save his father, save the Grail and save the day in this non-stop, action-packed adventure the whole family will treasure. Indiana escapes Chinese gangsters led by Lao Che with the help of singer/actress Willie Scott ( Kate Capshaw) and his twelve-year-old sidekick Short Round ( Ke Huy Quan). I happen to own all of these movies in all formats but Bluray, which is weird considering what a huge fan of this series I am.

Your purchase also comes with digital downloads of all four Indiana Jones films, allowing you to stream them in digital UHD quality. So when the cold sets in (or the heat, for fans in the Southern Hemisphere), the holidays approach, and an escape is needed from the tedium of the everyday, fans will have a chance to sit down and revisit these classic films. Indiana's journey takes him to Morocco, Greece, and Italy, where he inadvertently ends up traveling back in time to the 212 BC Siege of Syracuse after Voller uses the Dial to locate a time fissure in hopes of assassinating Adolf Hitler prior to the Invasion of Poland to usurp him and lead the Nazis to victory.

Speaking of which, we have Harrison Ford as the main character, again having just made Blade Runner and Empire Strikes Back.

The ultimate annoyance for me is that the fourth film looks nothing like the first three, over-processed, digitally graded, and neutered visually till it’s a sepia artwork, not a living breathing feature film. And finally witness the power of the Lost Ark unleashed as Indy stays one step ahead of the Nazis in this classic treasure. Indiana has moved to New York City, teaching at Hunter College with plans to retire, after his marriage with Marion collapsed following Mutt's death in the Vietnam War.Despite finally seeing it as originally intended, the interlude in the catacombs, from the first Thuggee ritual to the freeing of the slaves is slow and tedious, the underground setting dark and monotonous, and I always find myself starting to nod off before Indy gets his mojo back. Belloq and the Nazis perform a ceremony to open the Ark, but when they do so, all they find inside is sand. For one thing, grain is suspiciously light, although it is still present, while the colour timing seems to have changed, with colours and flesh-tones far more saturated than before. Join Indy as he outwits blood-thirsty villains and experiences the spectacular twists and turns of a thrilling mine car chase in the ultimate roller-coaster adventure.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom hasn’t aged all that well for me, that’s despite me seeing it for the first time in its uncut form, finally seeing the grisly heart ripping scene, which I knew was absent, as well as a bunch of other scenes that I didn’t know had been cut. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom': Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom brings you non-stop thrills and excitement like nothing you've ever experienced.This is now the fourth time I’ve watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull; I watched it at the cinema on day of release having avoided the hype, then twice on DVD fully aware of the response that it had engendered in the fans and in critics, and again just now on Blu-ray. As they’re trekking through the verdant jungle in the opening scenes, the camera briefly linger on a woollen hat worn by one of the guides, and it reveals colours that I had never seen before. Three stone cold classics looking incredible on blu ray with the addition of a tonne of extras will keep any fan satisfied and nostalgic for hours at a time. Renowned archaeologist and expert in occult, Indiana Jones is hired by the American government to track down the fabled Ark of the Covenant.

Travelling to an ancient palace nestled deep in the jungle he discovers a secret cult enacting a terrible plan in the catacombs. Some claim that one of the films looks like a yellow tint was added or that the removal of “grain” from the video makes the end result look “smeared” or otherwise not as good as they remember from the theatrical release versions. Major structural changes were made, including the complete removal of the 'bookend' sections narrated by the 93-year-old Jones. It’s this that has me prevaricating on all the big screen blockbusters in my collection, letting them gather proverbial dust for years while I pounce on the latest niche or cult nugget of gold to review.Finally, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was published in May 1989, and was the first Indiana Jones novel by Rob MacGregor.
