Great review. I caught it with some friends at a midnight showing, and had pretty much the same overall reaction. Loved the sixties mis-en-scene, and even thought the absolutely bizarre plot was kinda interesting (considering that the sixties is exactly when science fiction was beginning to take off in new directions).
I couldn't stop cracking up when the refrigerator came bounding out of the mushroom cloud, rolling Indy out the door. HEE! That's why I love these movies. (And I could just hear in my head the internet dweebs going "HOMG UNREALISTIC!!" Completely missing the point, of course.) *g*
I'll definitely be seeing it at least once more before it's out of the theaters. Good old-fashioned adventure filmmaking. And I definitely though of American Graffiti at the beginning...
