Show content It wasn't for no apparent reason. She wanted to know everything that the aliens knew so they took her with them in their universe or whatever to show her, I guess.
Show content But the other guys just got sucked up into the portal thing screaming, why did they turn her into pixies instead? I mean, if she slowly floated through the portal I guess that would have made sense, but being turned into pixies...didn't. Also, the film was like the star wars films ep 1-3, too much CGI, and too obvious CGI. The trees didn't even LOOK real and the background at one point looked pixilated <_< Don't even get me started on the monkeys. I think Sohmer at http://www.lfgcomic.com/ summed up my feelings here: This past weekend, as we people tend to do, I was there for the midnight showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I walked in there with the mindset of a wide eyed 6 year old about to see Temple of Doom, yet I walked out as a jaded 29 year old wondering why they still let Uwe Boll make movies. Fancy wording aside, suffice it to say I was less than pleased.
The biggest issue I had was with the script. To say it was lacking would be a disservice to films that are actually lacking. There were a ridiculous amount of absolutely prepostourous moments that completely took me out of the movie and made me wonder how they shot out a script by Frank Darabont for this. I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, but for those of you who have, you know which moments I speak of.
Another related issue was the lack of witty one-liners, which should have been a pre-requisite for this character. Don't get me wrong, Ford looked just as comfortable in the part as he ever has, but the words coming out of his mouth were not what I was expecting, except for the beginning scene which has already been ruined for you in the trailer.
The last, yet equally glaring issue I have with this film, is the use of CGI. It is horrific and out of place. Coming from ILM, the company that invented special effects, I was more than a little disappointed. I kept waiting for Jar Jar to poke his head out of a gopher hole.
