Arriving in Iraq, Nick and his friend Chris, are even absorbed in searching for a location where a legendary treasure is buried, not running a terrorist-seeking mission as planned. They accidentally found a cave and entered the aisle. Apparently the path leads Nick and his friend to an old tomb that has thousands of years old.

Out of curiosity, they took the casket for examination. Unwittingly, he has raised a princess named Ahmanet who has contracted with the God of the Death of Egypt, Seth. And, has become sacrifice for the resurrection of the devil who controls death.

The film opens with a prologue very long which tells the daughter Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), which originally was a candidate for the sole heir to the crown of Egypt, Phraoh father, has a son from his second wife (in 'The Mummy version of 1999', his wife having an affair with the pastor the kingdom of Pharaoh always fared bad luck). By intending to enter into a contract with the God of the Death of Egypt, Set. To restore his power, Ahmanet instead killed the three of them, he was even caught and buried alive.

At the beginning of the story, the atmosphere of the Middle East war, the impression of the character's tendency in the fight was very lively. Starring Tom Cruise who has been unfortunate in the world of film full of physical and shootout, making this film capable of stunning in terms of choreography of the fight. 'The Mummy 2017' has its own advantages, very prominent in action.

In terms of visual effects are very good, make the eyes of the audience do not blink every time enjoying the scene presented.

The tension in this movie also pretty well woke up, especially when Ahmanet chasing Nick really made the adrenaline really ride that combined with the appropriate background music.

The 'Mummy 2017' plot moves irregularly for no good reason. Though the script worked by 3 authors with the idea of ​​the story of 3 people, I assume that, the story comes from the pieces of ideas that are different from the 6 people are coupled inadvertently and forced into one. The plot is only focused on action sequences, as in the emergence of zombies or Nick and Jenny running around avoiding the massive destruction in London, which has no impact on the story.

This film abandoned the characters so there is almost no reason for us to care about them. We really can not be emotional.

At the beginning of their adventure this movie is very exciting, but 'The Mummy 2017' was not so much different from the 'Dracula Untold' which is not willing to be recognized by Universal as their starter franchise.

In the first sequence involving a free-fall plane where Cruise and Wallis hovered in the air, it was quite tense. In the middle of the film, I hope Brendan Fraser comes as a savior.

As a fan of Tom Cruise, I am a bit disappointed with his role in this film. In this movie Tom Cruise Nick Morton plays mediocre alias nothing special. Indeed there will be quite a lot of action scenes involving Nick in this movie. However, his action scenes have nothing to do with me, unlike Tom Cruise's role in 'The Last Samurai' which is very much in my mind.

Movies work just as an entertainment, like we watch the news, just pass by. Without much hope, 'The Mummy 2017' can be quite enjoyed by movie lovers.

Overal, I would rate the film as a1/5

What do you think about that film? Do you have wacthing it?

I will waiting for your comments in this post.
