Our take on The Mummy
Alex Kurtzman's 2017 film reimagines the classic monster tale for a modern blockbuster mold. An ancient queen, robbed of her destiny and sealed in a crypt beneath the desert, is awakened in the present day, carrying millennia of accumulated malice and terrors that defy comprehension. Spanning action, adventure, fantasy and horror, it wraps its supernatural threat in large-scale spectacle and globe-spanning peril rather than slow-burn dread. It suits viewers looking for a big, effects-driven creature adventure with a mythic villain at its heart, more thrill ride than chiller. Anyone drawn to the eerie romance of the mummy legend, updated with contemporary scale and pace, is the natural audience.
