Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny does not have the vibrancy of the first four Indiana Jones movies. It’s a B-grade movie at best, but much better than many film critics rated it. Watch for the excellent computer work that de-ages Harrison Ford at the beginning of the story before it launches into the meat of the film’s story. The wise choice of mixing computer enhancement with the real Harrison Ford makes it possible to balance the human spirit with the non-flowing animation. The storyline is good but not noteworthy as it follows a similar pattern of previous Indiana Jones movies . While the other films worked in their presentation and storyline, this film seems to falter here.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. If this is the last Indiana Jones film, Harrison Ford is going out strong from the series. The story itself is suitable to good and ‘kind of’ works. The film does have a cliff hanger at the end to indicate there may be more in the future.
