slo’s WEDNESDAY 7/12 poll - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

[slo]

Now that the new Indiana Jones movie has been out for a couple weeks, I’m curious on if you’ve seen it or want to see it. Soooo…..I ask…..

Have you seen the new Indiana Jones movie?
Will you be seeing it?



For Me…..My DH and I saw it a few days ago and I was really happy with the movie. It had that classic Indiana Jones style that we fell in love with 42 years ago (holy cow….I was 10 years old then ). We love going to the show and luckily there’s very little people there. We went to an 11:30am show and there was only 8 other people with us.

We will watch this when it becomes available on streaming. It seems like since Covid, we only go to the movies once a year, and that is around Christmas. I don't mind, I find the living room more comfortable, and the snacks are cheaper

 

[WDWEPCOT]

I love all those movies so I am looking forward to seeing it but I’ll be waiting for it so I can watch it at home

 

[PollyannaMom]

I hope to see it while it is still in the theater, but DH has the flu right now. If we get a chance when he's better (and providing I don't come down with it after him) we'll see it in the theater. Otherwise, we'll see it at home eventually.

Maybe someday when we can watch it at home. I haven’t been to a theater in 20 years. No use going with my husband, he falls asleep as soon as the lights go down and I don’t really have anybody else to go with.

Until a week ago, I had never seen any of the Indiana Jones movies. My husband likes the movies and wants to see the new one in the theater, so I watched the first one. I plan to watch the next in the series before we go see the latest.

 

[Meriweather]

We'll wait and watch it at home

 

[Disneylover99]

My husband and kids saw it. They enjoyed it.
I’ll probably watch it at home eventually.

 

[bobbiwoz]

I am not sure. We’ll definitely see it, but not sure about going to a movie theater.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I might see it when it is available at home.

Wishing your husband well with a quick recovery, @PollyannaMom. And for you to stay well.

Thanks!

Very unlikely that I will ever watch it anywhere (it’s just not my thing) but DH and DS will. They may go to the theatre on some lazy summer Sunday afternoon (if it runs long enough) or watch it when it streams.

We might catch it in the theater, but most likely, we'll watch it when it streams somewhere. Not the biggest fan of the movie franchise, but I've seen all of them at this point.

We saw it the weekend it came out, thought it was very in keeping with previous Indiana Jones movies. It was fun!

I don’t really have anybody else to go with.

One of the simple joys in life is going to the movies by yourself! Don't let not having anyone to go with keep you from doing something enjoyable (movies or otherwise!)

Saw it this past Sunday, and the theater was pretty full, IMAX, about 2/3s full,
LOVED it. Went in with little to no expectations, but really, really enjoyed it, very entertaining, and a wonderful way to wrap things up. I remember actually missing seeing the original in 1981 in theaters, and was SO bummed, but saw it the next year, I guess on a re-release.

That describes the theater closest to my house at virtually any time on any day.

The theater at the mall not far from my house is a little busier on the weekends.

Neither location or any of the others near me are anywhere near pre Covid levels. I am not sure that theaters will ever recover to pre Covid visitation levels.

Covid accelerated people embracing streaming and expecting to be able to stream movies soon if not instantly after their initial release.

This is how I felt in regards to see Avatar - The Way of Water in the movie theater. I knew I’d be dreadfully uncomfortable for 3 1/2 hours in a movie theater seat and I would need more than one round of snacks - LOL!
Oh….and I’d also need a bathroom break - 3 1/2 hours is a long time. I’m glad I watched this at home

I hope to see it while it is still in the theater, but DH has the flu right now. If we get a chance when he's better (and providing I don't come down with it after him) we'll see it in the theater. Otherwise, we'll see it at home eventually.

Oh no….I’m sorry to hear.
Sending lots of PD for him to feel better soon

Maybe someday when we can watch it at home. I haven’t been to a theater in 20 years. No use going with my husband, he falls asleep as soon as the lights go down and I don’t really have anybody else to go with.

You should go alone - my DH and I go alone when we want to see something the other one doesn’t want to see. The way I look at it….you don’t talk during the movie so what’s the difference if you’re alone or with someone? Just recently my DH went alone to see the new Fast & the Furious movie.

We saw it and liked it, but did not love it. He did a good job, but story was ho hum. I got teary eyed at the end knowing it was the end of an era.

 

[VandVsmama]

DH, the kids, & I saw it on opening weekend. It was awesome. Harrison Ford may be 80+ years old, but he's still got it. It's a really great movie. Perfect way to end the Indiana Jones series.

Earlier this summer, when some theaters were showing Raiders of the Lost Ark, we took our kids to see it on the big screen (kids had seen it at home a million times) and seeing their faces watching that in the movie theater...oh man, it was watching a kid version of myself when I saw it on the big screen when I was a kid.

I love the Indiana Jones character. Love the ride at Disneyland, too!

 

[disneychrista]

I don’t know that I’ve ever watched an Indiana Jones movie. I may have but if I did it was because it was on TV some weekend afternoon while I was flipping through the channels.
