Take #40: The Mummy

Image result for the mummy images 2017"The Mummy" is likely to have you yelling for yours, particularly if you watch it at Imax, whose sound systems makes the effects quite convincing.

Don't expect the engaging story-line and wry humour of the earlier series - this is dark and pretty macabre stuff, with some interesting special effects. Russell Crowe's Dr. Jekyll act, however, left me completely bewildered; but then, I think I made the mistake of trying to understand what was happening.

If you're a fan of Tom Cruise (who really should stick to the MI franchise), or of Sofia "Kingsman" Boutella (who makes a lissom if exceptionally blanched mummy, although she doesn't have too much to do), you might like to see this movie. If not, I recommend you stay away.
