The classic adventure Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny stars Harrison Ford's intrepid archaeologist. However, the film improves when it innovates rather than recycles. Nothing, however, compares to witnessing this character get back on his horse and ride off into the distance in pursuit of the next great artifact.
We landed on the moon when the film opens in 1969, but Dr. Indiana Jones has found employment as a professor at a sleepy university in New York. His goddaughter Helena Shaw offers him the chance to locate an ancient dial that is said to have extraordinary abilities, which sets off the adventure. Indy quickly learns that he is not the only person looking for the dial. A former enemy of Indy's is pursuing him along with a posse of dangerous, armed companions, and he plans to use the dial to turn back time and change the course of World War II in the Nazis' favor.
It's a successful celebration of everything Indiana Jones, including the character, Harrison Ford's portrayal, the films, and an affirmation of our love for them. The moment the film decides to stop paying homage to the past and instead tell a brand-new Indy story is when things start to get really good. A thud signals the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. In a flashback, a younger Harrison Ford as Indy is helped by a nervous professor as he encounters the titular Dial for the first time.
The story's the basis is laid, but the de-aging effect isn't as effective as it should be. It immediately puts a barrier between us and the intrepid traveler we've come to see. It's unsettling to see Indiana Jones as a modified, enhanced version of himself rather than how we've known him for the past five films. The remainder of the film, while paying homage to the franchise's past, suffers from many of the same flaws and feels repetitive. It does something I've never seen these films do in the final act, more specifically, it takes Indy somewhere he's never been.
