The Crystal Skulls represent knowledge without wisdom. Spalko’s demise is the film’s moral center: she wants "everything." She wants to know all the secrets of the universe. In classic Indiana Jones fashion, the divine (or extraterrestrial) punishes hubris. The beings are not "aliens" in the cheap sense, but interdimensional travelers—the new "gods" of the atomic age. The film posits that whether it is the Wrath of God or the power of a higher dimension, the human desire to control the absolute is fatal. 4.5/5 stars Released in 2008
