Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

During the closing days of WWII, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and Basil Shaw (Toby Jones) are trying to stop a train loaded with looted antiquities leaving with the retreating Nazis. Amongst the treasures is the famous Antikythera Mechanism. The train crashes and there is much chaos but Jones and Shaw escape with it.

Now decades later Jones is retiring from his teaching position at University just as humanity lands on the moon. He feels very much part of the past when everybody else is looking to the future.

Shaw's daughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) appears asking questions about the Antikythera but there are also other old fossils looking for it.

Shenanigans ensue.

A final outing for Harrison Ford as Indy and they don't mess it up.

It's got all the expected stuff. Nazis get punched. There are long chase scenes and a travelogue maguffin hunt. Waller Bridge livens things up leaving Ford to do world weary "I'm too old for this shit" and the contrast works. We get a good performance from Mads Mikkelsen as an Operation Paperclip Nazi with plans to revive the Reich and some decent cameos from cast of the original movies.

It's a bit long in the middle and the chase scene in New York gets a bit too gonzo but mostly it works. I've seen a bit of negativity about the later scenes being unrealistic. Indiana Jones has never been realistic they're fine. The horse in the subway is sillier in context.

A good ending to things that's worth your time 7/10.
