In defense of Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull's infamous 'fridge nuking'
movie is probably doomed to spend the rest of its existence at, or near, the bottom of every ranking of director Steven Spielberg’s filmography—and, if the warm-ish early reception to this week’sCrystal Skull
doesn’t come by that reputation unfairly, either: It’s over-long, over-indulgent, and frequently over-sentimental, wasting strong performances from series star Harrison Ford and a returning Karen Allen on a meandering story that feels like it’s 40 percent Shia LaBeouf, 40 percent unconvincing monkey swinging shenanigans, and 20 percent everything else.Advertisement
No, what we’re here to defend is the movie’s most infamous—and, we’d argue, most unfairly maligned—sequence. You know the one.
And yet we can’t shake the power of it: A hero of the past, who’s spent his life collecting and preserving the artifacts of literal gods, dwarfed by the power of man’s nuclear forge. For 20 seconds,movie: It’s an exceptional one, one that lives up to the incredible pedigrees of the filmmakers who created it. If we have to put up with some goofy fridge physics to get that moment, well, we’ll take it, unkillable memes and all.
