Everything We Learned From The Super Bowl 2023 Trailers
5. The Digital De-Aging Looks INSANELY Good - Indiana Jones & The Dial Of Destiny
Disney of course premiered a new TV spot for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny during the Super Bowl, which in addition to showing off a bunch more action - namely Indy (Harrison Ford) and his goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) parachuting out of a plane - gave fans another look at the film's somewhat controversial digital de-aging tech.
The first full trailer showed a quick clip of Harrison Ford being regressed to his younger self with the help of cutting-edge CGI, but given the brevity of the clip and lack of movement in Ford's face, it wasn't much of a challenge of the tech's limitations.
But the new trailer shows us another, considerably more expressive shot in which younger Indy smiles before punching villain Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) in the face.
No digital de-aging job is ever going to be perfect, but there are often very obvious tells when a digitally-altered character does something extremely expressive with their face like smile, and honestly this looks pretty damn great for the most part.
While it's sensible to still be a little way of how pervasively the effect is used throughout the film - especially if those time travel rumours are indeed true - it at least looks like it's being deployed in a smart and ground-breaking way.
