An ark that fries Nazis with floaty demon ghosts... a voodoo mind control cult that steals little kids... an immortal knight who guards a chalice which magically restores your health and gives you immortality... all that's okay. But an alien crystal skull? THAT weirds you out? Huh... well it's always fun to know where the line is.
For the people who don't like it, it has nothing to do with a "weirdness line."
It has to do with the fact of the items' themes. Three are themed to actual human religious mythology and one is themed to 1950s sci-fi B-movies.

Trying to withhold judgment on an alien theme. Hard to combat though!
possible spoilerish stuff below...
highlight it
the latest promo image shows indy in a warehouse...i seem to recall a warehouse with a lot of boxes before...coincidence???? Some speculate the ark may be making a return...maybe to combat these crystal beings

Well, it's not the crystal skull, it's the damned aliens.
All that other stuff is more in line with Indy's whole inspiration...
adventurer serials of the 1930's.
Now were talking little green men???
Just a different genre, just doesn't fit to me. I dont care if it's the 1950's when flying saucers were all the pop rage.
It just seems an inappropriate fit.
Will Bruce the shark appear too? LOL
Or is Indy just jumping the shark?

Quoted for truth!
Why they didn't use just the mayan/aztec/whatever myth, instead of this "alien" thing?
There are mayan legends way more interesting than those damn aliens...:sleep

lollolI thought that was the premise for Pirates of the Caribbean 4lollolActually the Ark does make a return. The skull looks alien but it is probably some sort of diety made by some ancient tribal people that saw the actual aliens land on earth! This is their god!:unsure
The plot seems a little too Tomb Raiderish!:confused
Some of the publicity shots are at "area 51". More over, the Variety article specifically said they would be dealing with the 50's pop UFO culture theme. So as much as those Indy fan want to keep with the earlier original themes, its going to the space age on this one. To infinity and beyond I guess.
Have a feeling there are going to be a lot of "broken heart Woody's" out there after seeing this one. :lol

I hope they don't screw it up, because this is (and always will be) the only IJ movie I'll ever see on the big screen... I was too young for the other 3 (I was born in 1981, so...) and I hope the movie will be good, or they will ruin my ONLY "theatrical" Indiana Jones movie experience... Making me very un-happy...
