‘Indiana Jones 5’ Trailer Hints at the Dial of Destiny’s History
The world altering artifact at the center of Indiana Jones 5 is connected to the adventurer’s past he though he put behind him.
The Indiana Jones movies are cinematic treasures. Its titular hero is one of cinema’s ultimate action movie characters with a desire for adventure, knowledge of ancient history, and vulnerabilities that make him relatable. Oh, and that great sense of humor. After a 15-year absence from the screen, Indy is coming back for one last adventure this summer.
The fifth entry into the Indiana Jones story moves up several decades to 1969. Things have changed. The professor’s enemy is working within the US government with approval in the space program, and Indy is ready to fall asleep in his easy chair. But, that’s not to be. The latest trailer shows the grizzled professor’s retirement celebrations being interrupted by his goddaughter and a myterious object from his past.
Harrison Ford has described the sequel as “…full of adventure, full of laughs, full of real emotion. And it’s complex, and it’s sneaky. The shooting of it was tough and long and arduous, but I’m very happy with the film that we have.” The actor is one of few words, so that says quite a lot.
The nostalgia is laid on thick on this one, and I’m not ashamed to admit that it works. I grew up with the first three movies. My parents snuck me into theaters to see them. I think they regretted it when I had nightmares full of Mola Ram, but I’m glad they did. I sat out on Crystal Skull, but I’ll see this one opening weekend. Maybe I can convince my seventy-five-year-old father to come out to see Ford’s last turn as Indiana Jones with me.
