The beginning of this film was very engaging with entertaining action scenes that made the movie start off with a bang. I thought for the most part the de-ageing of Ford (that is only a feature for the first 15-20 minutes or so) looked good. There are small moments where it doesn't quite look right, but I don't have complaints about it. The main issue from the opening though was the silhouette-like distance shot of Indy running across the roof of the rain. They really needed to reanimate that before pressing the movie.
It petered out a little bit towards the end, (the kid flying the plane with no experience was fairly ridiculous as was the pilot sleeping through it), but despite knowing how these movies always end on a good note, it also went some places I didn't expect it to. It does annoy me how so many of these kinds of movies have to have an obnoxious character. Here it's Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena who I'm glad didn't have anymore screen time. A satisfying end to the pentalogy.
