Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny: 22 WTF Moments

22. Digitally De-Aged Indy

The Dial of Destiny kicks off with a sequence set in 1944, where Indy (Harrison Ford) and fellow archaeologist Basil Shaw (Toby Jones) are attempting to retrieve a stolen artefact from the Nazis - the Lance of Longinus, the spear used to pierce Christ during his crucifixion.

The sequence is moderately entertaining if also a bit too long for its own good, but likely to be best remembered for the digital de-aging tech applied to Harrison Ford throughout in order to make him look a quarter-century younger.

On one hand it's a legitimately impressive effect, especially when Indy isn't moving much, but on the other it also proves to be regularly distracting when Indy has to emote or be mobile, because the cutting-edge VFX just can't quite approximate a younger Harrison Ford perfectly enough.

As a result, the sequence is awash in uncanny valley moments where Indy's face just looks a little off, no matter the ton of work that clearly went into it.
