If you were disappointed by the tired, dated-looking trailer for Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, you may yearn for the good old days of the first, and some say the best, of this series.
Never Fear - Indy's Here! - for you to watch in comfort on your own couch from May 12th. Spielberg, Lucas and Kaplan created an old-fashioned adventure movie that was an instant hit in it's day. So if you can't convince the kids that money for 'Crystal' tickets is well spent then buy in the popcorn and Ben and Jerry's and introduce them to a better one!
If you can convince them to leave their sharp-graphic virtual playstation adventures for an hour or so, they will experience a movie that has everything from slithery snakes, creepy spiders, dusty tombs, and car chases to the suspense of an ark that eventually reveals its grisly secrets (the more PG effects of heads that explode and faces that melt.) You never know, kids may grow up wanting to travel to Egypt to be archaeologists or wanting to travel to Nepal on a student gap year.
If TV doesn't match up to to cinematic experiences, you will have a chance to win preview tickets for Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull with your DVD purchase from Amazon. If more of the same is what you're after, that is what you'll get - judging by the trailer.
If you can't convince the kids, then invite Dad or Grandpa! He's sure to say it wasn't as good as the first though!
