THE MUMMY

1999 US HMDB

Dashing legionnaire Rick O'Connell stumbles upon the hidden ruins of Hamunaptra while in the midst of a battle to claim the area in 1920s Egypt. It has been over three thousand years since former High Priest Imhotep suffered a fate worse than death as a punishment for a forbidden love—along with a curse that guarantees eternal doom upon the world if he is ever awoken.

A young adventurer is saved from certain death by an adventurous archaeologist; to repay her, the boy decides to accompany the scholar and her brother in the search for an ancient Egyptian city buried under the desert sands. The expedition is a success, but not everything goes as planned: the researchers, in fact, awaken Imothep, an ancient Egyptian priest, from his eternal sleep, who has no friendly intentions at all. The situation worsens when the mummy, seeing in the beautiful archaeologist his ancient love, decides to make her his own. Dynamic, filled with computer-generated effects and tinged with a vein of humor, this is how the modern version of "The Mummy" presents itself, much more similar to "Indiana Jones" than to Karloff's film. Suitable for a young audience, with no really horrific scenes, the film is entertaining and smooth, but not scary at all.
