Immediately Nick begins having visions of a woman, Princess Ahmanet (SOFIA BOUTELLA), who was mummified and buried alive centuries ago after she murdered her family. Ordered to go down into the cavern, Jenny, Nick and Chris venture down discovering many artifacts and being in a time crunch, Nick kind of recklessly sets off a pulley system that lifts a sarcophagus from a pool filled with mercury as the substance is thought to ward off spirits… or something. It turns out they found out this location thanks to a map Nick stole from archeologist Jenny Halsey (ANNABELLE WALLIS), whom he had a sexual rendezvous with. Their latest takes them to an occupied village and after receiving heavy gunfire, Chris wisely calls in air support which bombs the area, opening a hole. The Mummy is set in the modern day focusing on Nick Morton (TOM CRUISE), a soldier and all around scoundrel and thief who, with fellow soldier Chris (JAKE JOHNSON), traipse across Iraq looking for artifacts to “acquire”. And for all the problems the latter has had with the world building, at least you can give a damn one way or the other, this however was an auspicious start as this incarnation was completely forgettable.

THE MUMMY REAL OR FAKE 4K MOVIE
I didn’t feel The Mummy was a bad movie but worse yet, a completely forgettable one.
