What to watch: Indy, Idris star in pulse-pounding weekend

And what may be the best animated feature of 2023 opens this weekend, too.

Harrison Ford is back as the world’s favorite fictional archaeology professor in “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”One of cinema’s most iconic action characters – Indiana Jones – rides off into the sunset this week, but does his final gallop match his formidable talents? We have thoughts on that. Also in theaters this week comes one of 2023’s best documentaries, while Netflix delivers one of the best animated features of the year.

Other excellent streaming options abound, including Idris Elba taking on hijackers and a thoughtful documentary on the writing of a new American anthem. And of you’re in the mood for an addictive series, check out Netflix’s “Glamorous,” with Kim Cattrall.The first 20 minutes of what’s purported to be the final chapter in the Indy franchise are a travesty — a soulless CGI orgy that creepily de-ages Harrison Ford and reduces what should be a derring-do opening act into a jacked-up “Polar Express” experience.
