'Dial of Destiny' falls into a similar issue that 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' did, and makes us miss the old days of Indiana Jones.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is finally here, and unfortunately, it continues a disappointing trend in the beloved series that began in the last installment, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. While it's great to see Dr. Henry Jones Jr.
These sequences look even worse in comparison to the film's more practical set pieces. The motorcycle chase through the library and the Peruvian grave-digging scenes in particular are highlights of an otherwise flawed film, once again proving that real sets, real stunts, and real costumes will almost always be more impressive than computer-generated images.
Exterior Shots in 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Look Like They Take Place on a Green Screen Despite reportedly filming on location, almost every single time Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny goes outside, it looks like it's in front of an artificial green screen. Some may argue this was done to make the various periods and settings the film explores more authentic. In actuality, the end result is the opposite.
Many of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny's major sequences feature what can only be described as digital sensory overload. The parade chase is quite literally littered with CGI confetti that is both distracting and obnoxious. The diving sequence features a horde of cartoony eels which feel entirely out of place and something that would never realistically happen.
