During the South America scenes, the picture seemed to be unstable (for lack of a better term) at moments. I wasn't sure if it was simply out of focus (and wondered about focus with digital projection*) or a result of digital squirelliness/artifacts.  But then it was clearly affecting only parts of the image, and was obviously artifactual. That really bummed me out, although it either improved over time or I became absorbed in the film and didn't notice. 

 I has this problem too.  and some other shots - like the DC shot towards the end of the movie were pretty blurry.  based on what i've ben reading from other poeple that have watched them, this is an issue with the movie.  I missed the cobra reflection but i heard its gone.  but bellocq still eats the fly!!!  everyone laughed at this!!  BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

unfortunately it was also in one of those mini-IMAXX theatres.  I guess the 15/70 imax is gonna be obsolete.  My theatre was not even half-full.  so not sure if it was worth $15.

 but its still a great flick after all these years (31 YEARS !?!?!?). Its still the best action-adventure film made, IMO. The story is a lot thinner than I remember and maybe the sequence with the Bomber plane can be viewed as filler, but at least it doesnt have stupid stuff like KOTCS and there is actual danger and grit to the action.  and karen allen is just soooo cute in this movie ;)

not gonna get the blu ray until its individually released.  Loved Indy the action hero, but the series overall is average.  TOD has aged poorly and dont care for KOTCS.
