Treasure hunter Nick Morton, a slave stolen from archaeologist Jenny Halsey a map, finds an ancient tomb and in it a huge sarcophagus. Find trying to smuggle to England to study, but the plane is wrecked sarcophagus, after which the living are only Nick, Jenny and awakened from centuries of sleep, the daughter of Pharaoh Amunet. Being a Princess, she signed a contract with the violent God Seth, and now to accomplish her evil plan requires a human sacrifice. The choice will Amanet fell on the one who rescued her from her prison under the Sands.

A remake of”the Mummy” became one of the most anticipated films of this year, at least for the reason that he needs to “odynaset” start to return to the screens of the cult kilometrov Universal studios – such as the Wolf Man, Frankenstein’s monster with his Bride, the creature from the Black Lagoon and many others. For such Grand plans, the Studio has been given its own logo Dark Universe (one species of which causes mad delight fans of the genre), and hired famous actors (including Tom cruise, Russell Crowe, johnny Depp and Javier Bardem) and told about plans for an overall collision of these characters in future crossovers. And Yes, references to these plans in “the Mummy” more than enough: hand the underwater monster in the frame light up, somewhere- vampire skull.

But the whole movie still not much closer to the source 1932, and “the Mummy” by Stephen Sommers, some scenes of which are quoted almost verbatim. Despite the earlier gloomy atmosphere, the plot is actually generously diluted by humour, and in General are not particularly committed to the depth of the story. There are no complex characters, and the motivation and character of each of the characters can be described in just a couple of sentences. Take for example the main character played by Tom cruise. Nick Morton – not brave Rick O’connell with infinite ammunition for revolvers and admirable impudence toward the walking dead. He’s an arrogant adventurer-daredevil, who first does and then thinks. It is interesting to observe the evolution of this character, which the writers clearly have big plans, not limited one.

As for the other characters? Sofia Boutella will Amanet – one feast for the eyes. Perhaps none of the currently popular young Actresses so naturally wouldn’t fit into the image of an angry Egyptian Princess like her. Dr. Jekyll is essentially only an ornament and an optional, though very bright character, although in the guise of Mr. Hyde Russell Crowe really gets in to the fullest. Jenny though is positioned as a confident and brave woman researcher, and her catalytic role in the development of the protagonist is clear, but beneath the exterior there is in fact a classic “damsel in distress” which Morton is forced again and again to save from destruction. However, in terms of acting claims is not observed, all perfectly playing his violin, and no one is trying to draw attention to themselves.

In visual terms the picture looks very impressive – perhaps this is the main reason to introduce new “the Mummy”. And let the excess CGI effects little jars, overall, for its genre the film turned out very boldly, if not “epic”. Promised by the trailers and FeatureCAM drive does not stop literally for a second, and quite successfully closes a multiple plot holes (for example, the motivation of Dr. Jekyll, who is enthusiastically studying will Amanet, it’s going to kill her and dissect). Also, there is a strong overkill with all the flashbacks, why sometimes the picture resembles a video.

“The mummy” sample 2017 – a full-fledged summer blockbuster, as if escaped from “zero”: exciting, entertaining, easy to weightlessness and it is best perceived on the biggest screen under the crunch of popcorn. For the planned large-scale series acceleration given more than cheerful, and so your task Director Alex Kurtzman and his team performed in full. Looking forward to the continuation of the Banquet!
