I don't buy that the softness was an attempt to disguise Ford's age. For one thing, it doesn't, and for another the filtration is characteristic of Kaminski's work prior and since. And what does the obnoxious blooming around every light source have to do with hiding wrinkles?
Besides, that BS wasn't used in The Force Awakens, and Ford was seven years older in that. No, Crystal Skull looks the way it does because of a DOP who couldn't suck it up and put his preferred style aside, even for a movie where it plainly was not compatible. But I might be more pissed at Spielberg for giving it his approval.
