it, universal, is planning (1) of interlinked blockbusters. but instead of being about superheroes, the so-called ‘dark universe’ movies will be about the invisible man, the wolfman and the other classic monsters from universal’s back catalogue. this film deserves to be shut inside a pyramid for
several millennia the mummy has the job of getting the franchise started. rather than telling a self-contained story, then, it commits much of its running time to introducing concepts and settings that (2) and it finishes with such a shameless non-ending that there might as well have been (3)“to be
continued”. it’s passable if you view it as a trailer, or as the pilot episode of a television series, but as a film in its own right it deserves to be (4). even if the mummy hadn’t had to lay the groundwork for the dark universe, it would still be a shambles. a mish-mash of wildly varying tones and
plot strands, alex kurtzman’s perplexing (5)whose beliefs and abilities change minute by minute, and punctuated by murkily lit action sequences which don’t show how (6). maybe part of the problem is that there are six credited screenwriters. i wouldn’t be surprised (7)without ever glancing at what
the other five had come up with. to give you some idea of just how convoluted it is, the mummy is a film about an ancient egyptian sorceress, and yet its opening scene features a bunch of crusaders in 12th century england. it then jumps to the present day, when those crusaders’ catacombs are
discovered beneath the streets of london. this discovery is, somehow, the cue for a portly, smirking professor (russell crowe) (8)ancient egyptian sorceress. later on, someone else mentions that the legend has been “erased from the history books”, so it’s quite impressive that he knows it in such
detail. undead on arrival it’s only after the prof has completed his exposition dump that the film hops to a desert in iraq, and at last we meet cruise’s nick morton, a us army sergeant who loots antiquities to sell on the black market. he is, in short, an obnoxious crook, but, like the many other
cocky, (9), he is supposedly forgivable because a) he keeps taking his shirt off, b) he’s good at sprinting, and c) he learns to be a decent person by the end of the film. it’s a shame that, at 53, the actor is a decade or two too old for the role. if someone is still cheating, stealing and bullying
as blithely as morton is in his sixth decade, it’s hard not to feel that he is, fundamentally, a scumbag. the narrative would be easier to follow if it were written in hieroglyphics eventually, he and a blonde archaeologist/love interest (annabelle wallis, who is, of course, 20 years younger than
her co-star) stumble upon a cavernous (10) but , and accidentally bring a pharaoh’s cursed daughter, ahmanet (sofia boutella), back to the land of the living. (it’s morton’s fault, and it results in catastrophic death and destruction, but no one ever blames him.) wrapped in just enough bandages to
remind us that she’s a mummy, but not enough to cover.
