After a 20 year wait, this was VERY disappointing. Pass!

I'm assuming the 2-disc art for Blu-Ray is the same as for the 2-disc DVD, so YAY because that is NICE! Can't wait for that!

I'll wait for inevitable box set with all 4 movies.


This movie was a distant 4th behind the original 3. The whole movie had that filmed on a soundstage look to it. The originals always seemed to be filmed on location. They had wide shots showing the landscapes and had a gritty quality to them. This movie didnt look that way at all and had some poorly done cgi.

Give it a rest Lucas, PLEASE! No more Indy! and no more Star Wars!

well according to what i read this morning on optonline.net  they did mention a release of all in dvd and blu-ray unless i read it wrong or they wrote it wrong

I would have loves the 1 disc art as a slipcase on the BR edition and then the cover of the 2 disc underneath. Nice artwork tough for a dissapointing movie.

why is that ridiculous ? anyway, box art does not matter to me - only the film. havent seen this so ... gonna be blind buy, I quess...

update : found this on usa today :

A DVD boxed set with all four movies also will be available.

Paramount and Lucasfilm have not yet announced when the first three movies will be released on Blu-ray.

Depending on the special features, I may trade in my old box set of the original three, as I can't in good conscience sit this alone next to the neatly kept box set.

I will opt for the 2 Disc Dvd. It will slot in nicely to my original Indy Collection. The special features on the old trilogy set are very good so I won't be upgrading them.

Might look at getting an Uncut version of Temple though.

I enjoyed Kingdom, there were some great Indy moments in it. A decent sequel but not a classic like the previous three IMO.

well if you have that original collection that had the 4th bonus disc, you could always remove that and place part 4 in there.  

oh and i know its just the SRP so it'll likely be much less in stores but 29.99$ for a 1 disc movie with barely any extras? and 39.99 for the 2 disc dvd edition? they really wanna overprice because of the name huh.  lol

Wonder if it will have DTS sound on the Blu-Ray (Spielberg is a huge fan!) However, none of the Indy DVD's have DTS, so maybe it's a Lucas decision.

Didn't completely suck.The scenes that were horrible were George Lucas idea.The Blue Ray has the best artwork. We certainly do not need another....God I hate George Lucas.

Awful.

Agreed!

Great Blu cover, but Spielberg's worst tragedy since The Lost World. I despised this film as much as the above users.

Screw this Paramount! Bring us the Trilogy in all glorified 1080p

I really don't get the hate for this flick. Shia was grossly miscast, but otherwise the film was a huge improvement after the uninspired "Last Crusade." (What is with Spielberg's obsession with Shia LaBoeuf anyway? He's not that great of an actor.)

As for people complaining about the sci-fi aspects of it, well since they placed the storyline in the 1950s, isn't that inevitable? The alien aspects is just as "plausible" as the Ark of the Covenant that make Nazis explode or a Thuggee cult that uses human hearts to worship the god Kali.

Indy 4 was fun, and while it won't win any awards it was a lot better than I anticipated. And they did do something right by bringing Karen Allen back from "Raiders" and resolving that plot point at the end.

And I'm glad to see Paramount is also offering up their third 2008 hit in widescreen only, with the GOOD cover art. The only thing that would've sealed a purchase would've been an isolated score option since there was some GREAT music that wasn't included on the soundtrack album.

2-disc all the way.  I really had a good time watching this in the theatre.  I thought it was a fun despite some of it's flaws.  I'm so sick of reading all the bashing.  It's Popcorn summer entertainment....This wasn't Gandhi or Amadeus, Jesus, some of you need to lighten up when watching summer movies.
