Off topic and all, and I do disclose the ending (as well as I can understand it, so be forwarned) but here's the review:

DA DA DADA, Da DADA...Indiana Jones is back! And what a movie! Some things are the same...like evil beautiful women and really bad insects and another car chase scene on the EDGE OF A CLIFF!! but Indie is BRANCHING OUT! Now we have evil Soviets, not just Nazis, who want the magical weapon to RULE THE WORLD!And there's more! Now we have not just ancient artifacts but ALIENS!! SO here's the lowdown: Evil Russians show up at the Nevada nuclear test site and kill off the entire guard unit (which we find out are not just guarding the test site but the US Government's most top secret secrets) Budget cuts reduced the guard unit, I guess, to just four guards, and so there's no problem getting in...and then lucky for the Soviets, because as it turns out ALL of our top secrets are in a warehouse--My comment: I doubt this...I mean when has the Government been that organized to put everything in one spot? But there you have it...And guess what--the Warehouse number? 51!! Yikes Warehouse 51! Oh well. It seems that a mindreading Ukrainean wants in and in she gets....and then there are these magnets that suck everything even non-magnetic things so you know they are pretty powerful and Evil She-ra gets what she wants...Indie? He gets into a great fight, gets shot at 8 kazillion times, but never gets hit, and then goes on one heck of a great rocket car ride that leaves him bedazzled. Indie wanders into a town of manequins and guess what? It's right smack tab in the middle of an-above-ground nuclear bomb test. I guess the Government wants to see how fast the manequins can melt...and it was pretty fast in my judgment. Indie is smart enough to jump in a fridge that flies through the air but saves Indie from the nuclear bomb blast--and this made me start thinking: They do NOT make fridges like they used to, darn it! So anyways, blah blah blah but Indie finds out about this plastic looking alien head that is really crystal and if you look at it...it GLOWS BACK AT YOU and makes you go crazy. But we do not know it is plastic, I mean alien...sorry to jump ahead. So there's this big battle in the tombs with really skilled ninja like pygmy like natives but, again, they have no luck hitting Indie, thank goodness, with their poison arrows and all...On we go where this time Indie meets up with an evil Soviet henchman who can really hit...but not hard enough and guess what? The fighting and all gets these ants worked up and they come out to see what the problem is and there is evil Russian man lying around doing nothing, so they take him back to the den, as it were, for lunch...My problem with this? They were RED ants...and yet they went after a colonel of the RED army...Mutinous if you ask me...Well, Indie is now joined up with that really hot chick from the first movie, who has not aged as well as Harrison Ford, but she drives this boat car over three water falls, all of them about the size of Niagara, and glory be! Everyone makes it through just fine. What a great ride in fact! They make it to El Dorado where they are supposed to put the plastic/crystal head back and after they make their way through traps, sand, water, more ninja like warriors, etc., they stick the head back on this skeleton and that is the cue for the evil Ukrainean woman to make her entrance! She is impressed with these 13 plastic/crystal heads all looking at her and wants KNOWLEDGE! Which she gets...oh boy does she get knowledge! Let me just say she is light years away with all the knowledge she will ever need if you know what I mean! Indie of course realizes that once the last plastic head is returned it will merge with the other 12 heads into a real plastic mess, I mean inter-dimensional alien, who now wants to go home...Indie escapes and watches the interdimensional being take his marbles and go home....Indie then gets married and we get to watch them go off to marital bliss DA DA DADA, DA DADA!

I am sure you all want me to give this a rest, but one more thing: In the movie Indie comes to a room where there are all these ancient artifacts from all these ancient cultures...I thought for a moment that Indie had, a la Blazing Saddles, broken into the wrong set--the National Treasure I or II set--by mistake, but I guess not, because I did not see Nicolas Cage. So what the heck was up with that? What was the point? Did the plastic looking crystal skull at one time possess an archeological interest?

I was sooooooo glad to find out that if you are in an old refrigerator you will be protected from a nuclear blast and even though the refrigerator flies through the air and rolls down a mountain, the door will not open and throw you out and you will incur no injuries as a result of being in a refrigerator.

Not true. They had to use a stunt double because of the threat of freezer burn!!!

Almost everybody I have talked to about the movie said they liked it except for the monkey part and the end. Thats about what i thought too. I was fine with the crazy half mile fridge ride, Russian sharp shooters missing Indies back side while 3 feet away, the mystic and fairly cheesy plastic Alien skull, but I got really upset for some reason about the monkey part. I guess that was just a little to corn ball for me. What did you all think? Of course the alien and space ship scenes were the most disapointing scenes of the whole Indie saga. But over all a fun entertaining movie that I will probably go and see again.

I seem to recall at some point in the movie Indy actually says "they were/are archeologists.
