The retro newness of 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' is an attempt to recapture the magic, and it does deliver a hefty dose of whip-crackin’ thrills, but like the de-aged Harrison Ford in the film's opening 20 minutes, it doesn’t exactly feel like the real thing.
This image released by Lucasfilm shows Harrison Ford in a scene from 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.' The artifact at the heart of the action in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is a time-shifting device called the Antikythera. This ancient, analogue computer with the power to find fissures in time, however, isn’t the only thing about the movie that revisits the past.
On the eve of his retirement from teaching, a face from the past shows up. Helena Shaw is Basil Shaw’s daughter, Indy’s estranged goddaughter, an archeologist and a thief. Her interest in the Antikythera lures Indy back into a world of international adventure, former Nazis and the echoes of history come to life.Nothing is likely to ever live up to the adrenaline rush of seeing “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for the first time.
The Kraken-out-of-water tale isn’t a franchise—although it may be the beginning of one—but it does owe a debt to recent Pixar films “Turning Red” and “Luca,” movies about the transformation of body and expectations. “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” may not break new ground, or part the oceans, but it tells its story with panache, finding a way to merge a kid-friendly story with some decidedly adult jokes.“Nimona,” a new sci-fi young-adult animated action-adventure now streaming on Netflix, sets its story of outsiders, identity and acceptance in a futuristic kingdom where knights, on flying horse-shaped motorcycles, use old-school crossbows and high-tech gear to fight monsters.
