Indiana Jones versus the martians

Is it just me, or does anyone else have an awful, nagging certainty that this film is going to suck as much as The Phantom Menace?

I know about that and it didn't worry me - it's the astonishginly unconvincing bluescreen work in the car chase along the cliff sequence that had me thinking "that really sucks".

There's still 3 months left until release, and that trailer had to be finished months ago.

There's a good chance the FX team isn't quite finished yet.

One would suspect that it would make sense to put finished, or at least, not so obviously unfinished work into the trailer - unless there's nothing better to put there?
Like I say, I'm not overly hopeful. Any film written by George Lucas with a sassy teenage companion has a mountain to climb not to suck.

One would hope, but honestly it's not blatant. (For blatantly bad blue-screen, see things like Neverending Story II, where there's soft light (overcast) on the background, but harsh light on the actors...)

I'll go see it regardless, and where the FX are a bit spotty, I'll just go "Eh" and move on. So long as plot and dialogue come out okay, I'll be okay with it.
