The Mummy (2017) [Blu-ray]

This is the 4K version of the Mummy with Tom Cruise. It looks great on a 77" OLED TV. The picture has some fine grain from the film source but it's a very clear image. There are a lot of dark scenes but those were very watchable on an OLED TV.The Dolby ATMOS soundtrack is fantastic. If you have a home theater the sound will be immersive.This movie has a lot of action and is just fun to watch.

The mummy, a great action sci-fi movie.

Enjoyable movie!

I love the movie actually I don't know what to say but it is a good movie and you know they should do more like it

This is a movie that was designed and edited (metrics) to generate the highest profits by filling the theaters with the most people of all ages. When will this nonsense stop? This movie was barely viewable since most of the plot was taken from other Mummy movies. The Brendan Fraser Mummy movies comes to mind and were much more entertaining than this movie. Tom Cruise's buddy who appears as a spirit reminds me of the American Werewolf in London movie, with David Naughton's character interacting with his dead friend (Griffin Dunne). I wasn't sure if I was watching a comedy in the beginning, or a movie that was going to be true to its original, the 1932 classic, The Mummy with Boris Karloff (which, by the way, is a better movie that this one).In the original mummy movie with Boris Karloff, a mummy is found in the Egyptian Archeological digs, and through a spell in a book, Imhotep is brought back to life. He was mummified alive trying to bring back his dead girlfriend, Ankh-es-en-Amon. Once alive, he takes on a character, Ardath Bey, and then proceeds to locate the mummy of his once loved princess. Of course he mistakenly finds another woman who he believes is his princess reincarnated, and then tries to kill her so he can mummify her, so he can resurrect her and then marry her in the dark universe. It is interesting that the movie mentions, Set, the god of the underworld, but fails to mention, Horus, the god of basically the daylight hours. Therefore you have Set battling Horus every night and winning, and Horus winning every morning, the Sun rising and falling every day in Egyptian mythology.A battle of good versus evil, and a battle within Tom Cruise, as he choses one love over the other.I did like to see the Creature from the Black Lagoon's hand in the jar in the museum, as well as a vampire's skull. We then have Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This must be the Dark Universe that Universal Studios is trying to reboot. If they want to reboot more of their classic movies, stay true to the original and use common sense when making these movies, and forget about the metrics used to generate profits.Jekyll and Mr. Hide, rebooting another classic movie.

I enjoyed it... 👍🎬

❤️ THIS!! Horror Fanatic. This Movie ROCKS N WICKED AWESOME BADAS*!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I pretty much knew I’d enjoy this film, but I was pleasantly surprised at just how amazing it actually was. The first thing that demands a mention, is that Sofia Boutella was absolutely phenomenal and I hope we see her in more fantasy/horror genre movies. Her portrayal of Princess Ahmanet was pure masterpiece. Ahmanet’s character and story draws you in through several means, from intrigue, anger and mystery, to fear, suspense and even empathy for her.I found it quite refreshing to see that even though Tom Cruise (of whom I a big fan) was the leading man here, it was Boutella’s Ahmanet who held the power, the control, and as the central character, could even make Tom’s character, Nick Morton, her play-thing. With stunning good looks and a sultry sinister approach that could disarm any man, Ahmanet shows clearly throughout the film, who is in control. Meanwhile, Tom’s portrayal of an often befuddled, occasionally even comical soldier Nick Morton, struggling to make sense of what’s happening and dealing with the feeling of powerlessness in the face of Ahmanet’s power, was a delightful divergence from the always-kickin-ass-and-sure-of-himself characters that Cruise so often plays. Cruise did an excellent job selling it, and it honestly makes me like him all the more as one of our era’s greatest actors.I thoroughly enjoyed how the film included a certain Dr. J as well as hints and easter eggs of other fantastic legendary characters (as well as nod to the 1999 Mummy film via a certain relic). And the weaving together of the Crusades history (a hat tip to Templar legends) and Egyptian mythology (minus the not-so-minor Set/Anubis error which nonetheless doesn’t detract from the film) was a delightful and captivating story-line. I don’t want to get into spoiler territory, so I’ll leave it at that and simply add that the writing was very well done, with plenty of nuggets and nuance that created an excellent plot, story progression, and character development (I suspect much of the criticism of this film is due to critics completely missing this nuance). The visual effects of the movie were excellent and help create exactly the right amount of dark atmosphere and eye candy for the fantasy/horror fan, with plenty of edge-of-your-seat moments for a full action/suspense experience.In summary: Really awesome movie and worth numerous viewings. Even if you’re not a Tom Cruise fan, leading lady Sofia Boutella’s incredible portrayal of Ahmanet makes this a must see – if nothing else, watch it and admire her excellent work. For me, this movie is one of my favorites in this genre. Five stars and beyond.
