Review

Indiana Jones hears that his father is missing. He goes to find him and on same adventure he will go for a search to Holy Grail.

Like previous Indiana Jones films (Raiders of the Lost Ark & Temple of Doom) this was a great action adventure movie with mystical story. Story is fascinating and I remember that I have been always keen about stories about the King Arthur and mythologies around it.

This time story also have lots of references in christianity, but of course through the mystical and unbiblical vision of it. In christian theology there is no mystical Holy Grail what gives eternal life, instead only the faith for Jesus Christ gives us the eternal life. All in all, mythologies around christianity and other religions as well are interesting when you know the difference between real beliefs and this kind of fantastic stories.

All techinical elements just works. Pacing is good in the story. There is less action than in Temple of Doom, or at least it felt so, but there is still enough to keep viewer interested.

If you are a fan of action adventure movies, then this is stll one of the best ones.
