Magic and technology are barely simmering

Because Tom was full of expectations, and because the three mummies were full of expectations, the result was inexplicably embarrassing. The story begins with the magic of recruiting gods. It is a magical story, but some sci-fi is arbitrarily incorporated in it, and the connection is extremely far-fetched, which is simply random grafting. In the end, the mummy can only be destroyed by the ancient magical dagger. It is inexplicable how such a powerful devil creature can be easily taken away by a few wire guns. I had hoped that the movie would give a scientific explanation, but it didn't.
