The Mummy 3D Blu-ray (2017) [Region Free]

[Jbug]

Thanks to Fandango's policy, I didn't see this in 3D but as for the movie, I thought the Fraser version was more entertaining by a long shot. I didn't find the new movie to be spooky at all nor have any intensity going on like I hoped it would. The Dark Universe is off to a dark beginning. Did anyone notice the reference to the Fraser movie

[Show spoiler]the book of the dead with space for the key

? It was brief and if you blinked you missed it.

The Mummy 2017 3D Review:
Cinemark 3D, mid row center. Sitting upright in seat.

3D Previews: (Nothing new shown this time)
Valerian 3D: Strong 3D.
Thor Ragnarok 3D: Strong 3D.

3D Layers: 7/10. Good, mostly medium 3D layers. Some milder shots here and there.
3D Pop Out Count: 1/10. The crow popping out of the plane window is a strong 3D pop out, but unfortunately, one of the only clear pop outs I remember seeing.
3D Framing: 6/10. The film doesn't take advantage of the objects in the environment often enough, and a lot of close ups during dialog have a face against a blurry, 1 layer background most times. Medium distance shots work better here.
3D Lighting. 5/10. Even at Cinemark, who brightens the image with equal contrast, this is a generally dark movie taking place at night or in tombs.
3D Conversion: 7/10. A good, medium 3D conversion. Nothing exciting, but I wasn't disappointed.

I liked the movie as general action/horror entertainment. The queen was captivating in how she could absorb the life of the living to heal herself. Cruise's friend was on the verge of being an annoying character, but he was hardly there after the first 40 minutes of the roughly 2 hour film. The main female lead was good. The pacing was very good and the 2 hours went fast. A couple loose ends, as they leave this open for a sequel if it happens. Not a deep story, as the evil queen Mummy is after Nick(Cruise) most of the film.

I liked the film, enjoyed the two hours. There were quite a few nods to the 1999 film. The one you are talking about was a very nice touch indeed. I didn't miss it. It actually links the two franchises into one continuity. This is very much possible seeing as O'Connell's adventures were in the 1920s and the new film is set in 2017.

Glad you enjoyed the movie too Zivouhr, I thought you might. It's got a lot going for it and the ending leaves things with a lot of great potential with

[Show spoiler]Cruise being the reincarnation of Set. There's so many cool places it could go.

I really wanted to see this in IMAX, seeing that it has a gorgeous film grain-filled image with sharp textures. But damn, not a single IMAX nearby.

Saw this Friday night in LieMAX 3D.

Gotta say, I enjoyed the movie, but the 3D was not necessary. Only one scene with birds that I noticed any 3D. What's worse, is you have to keep your vision perfectly leveled with the screen, as even the slightest tilt to either side resulted in ghosting around everything in the image. It was awful. At least with IMAX 3D, you don't pay any more than you do for an IMAX 2D, so no money was wasted. Just brightness was.

[gazadams]

really enjoyed the film and thought the 3d was ok . Could of been a lot stronger and noticed some ghosting in the long distant shots

Was the aspect ratio any larger than 2.39:1, like 2.20:1?

[whippet]

Caught a showing of this in imax tonight. The sound stage was rocking but 3D fell flat, pun intended. As others pointed out, creating realistic depth was clearly an after thought.

Thor Ragnarok 3D preview looked amazing!

Do you know Rahul? He sells a lot of 3d steelbooks. He will have this one, Wonder Woman, and the new transformers movie. He usually lists the pre orders about a month ahead of time or so.

Completely uninspired effort. The dialogue was awful, truly awful, and that's coming from someone who usually defends dumb blockbusters if they're at least fun. The attempts at humour here were just embarrassing for all concerned. Even Cruise, who can be great at comedy, couldn't do anything with this stuff. Jake Johnson was appalling.

I did like some of the action and horror set pieces. The plane crash was very well done. The crawling mummies were good, icky fun. I quite liked the variety of English settings, but I think these classic horror characters are far, far better in period settings (see Hammer horror). The 3-D perked up now and again to give the occasional impressive shot, but otherwise it was tame. An afterthought. I went in really wanting to like this film. I came out wishing I hadn't bothered.

[Interdimensional]

I saw it earlier tonight. Wanted to like it, and for much of the first two-thirds, I did. But I felt I was giving them a pass on a number of things, things that didn't add up for me, or were of questionable taste... but I was prepared to overlook these for the sake of entertainment value. I think a lot of the film does work quite well.

But towards the end of the film, I was just getting so fed up with the cinematography, of all things, and the complete lack of awareness of how to film for 3D. I really don't like to criticize, but it's frustrating to be confronted with so much wasted potential.

The conversion house did a decent job most of the time, but they were given a lot of in my opinion awful footage to work on, and there's only so much you can do. Saw it Imax 3D. Don't think it benefited from the large format presentation in the slightest, or the 3D.

It's not a total loss, and I hope they still go ahead with at least Bride of Frankenstein and Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Agree with all of these points. It looked like some of the plane crash footage was filmed in an actual simulated zero-gravity situation. Stuff like that makes me wish there'd been a way to film in native 3D.

I saw THE MUMMY today in a somewhat unique presentation. Showcase Cinemas has this new innovation called MX4D. It combined RealD 3D,Sensurround, Strobe effects and something akin to Smellovision. It turned what was a passable movie with mild 3D into a two hour theme park ride.

I'm curious to see how they approach these other monsters. Bill Condon directing Bride of Frankenstein is a smart move. But the shared universe thing didn't feel promising to me at all in The Mummy. It felt contrived. If they're going to use Tom Cruise's character as some sort of lynchpin to tie the stories together then they got off to a terrible start because he practically has no character. It's one of the worst written hero roles I've ever seen.

I'm rooting for all Universal's monsters. Loved Joe Johnston's The Wolfman, and I didn't hate Dracula Untold. They just need to make these next instalments stand out in ways we haven't seen before. Strong 3-D would have been one, but they botched it here. And with the memory of the sublime Penny Dreadful so fresh in people's minds, Universal really has to up its game in terms of writing, storylines, and atmosphere. They certainly didn't bring their A-game to The Mummy.

I was very happy with the Del Toro Wolfman, the wolf makeup was perfect, and overall art direction was about as good as I'd dare hope for from a modern studio production. It also wasn't overwhelmed by the need to expand everything into a massive vfx driven blockbuster.

Not holding out as much hope for the Dark Universe version of the Wolfman, assuming reported casting turns out to be correct, should it be made. Sometimes the big commercial actor isn't always the right choice for the movie. I feel that may have been where the Mummy went wrong. By the end I was rooting for the mummy Ahmanet rather than Cruise or his human love interest. I don't usually do that.
