awful cover. My god

[RalphoR]

Went in with the very lowest of expectations....I liked it quite a bit but didn't love it. I'll pick up the Best Buy steel book on release with (hopefully) a nicer cover.

[imsounoriginal]

Steelbook's at Target.

[bowlingbilly10]

So no 3d like the Great Wall??

So did I. I enjoyed it as well going in that way. There were some bits in the first half that I felt were just there to plant seeds toward their cinematic universe and weren't integral to this film's story tho'. I'm curious what the exclusive content will be on Best Buy's and Walmart's exclusives. I'll likely pick up one of them.

FNAC 3D steelbook looks MUCH better for those of you who don't like this. There is currently a GB hosted by cudzndrips.

Not to name any in particular but I've seen worse Blu-ray covers then the one for this latest Mummy movie.

[Edword]

Might just get the 4K version since the cover art is a little better.

[wozman]

Atmos available on both 4K-UHD and regular BDR. Really pisses me off when some movies are only Atmos on 4K Discs.

Isn't it the same artwork?

[Evan Meadow]

Good amount of extras for a movie that bombed

[imsounoriginal]

Target Steelbook, for those wanting to avoid the horrendous standard art:

[Chaotic]

That cover is just as bad. Wow......
