This mummy is the appearance of the dark universe, and it is not ordinary.
The plot of the film is based on the previous three mummy films. The ancient pharaoh's daughter committed a felony because of love and was permanently cursed. After thousands of years, modern people found the soul and holy artifact, and Tom played the role of Tom. Nick became the chosen one with these events, and the poor man was inexplicably drawn into this life-and-death struggle. Like before, Nick has all the cunning and bravery and luck of all those explorers, but unlike the first three, this time the protagonist Nick doesn't rely on rescuers from outside, friends, planes, ancient warriors, none, and It is relying on its own humanity. At the last critical moment, it endows itself with an ancient curse, and then exerts the power of humanity from the cracks of the curse, defeating the devil, and saving the lives of lovers and comrades-in-arms.
As a cosmic introduction, this film is a tribute to the mummy predecessors. The introduction of the title is a brief introduction to the background of the story, and then the relevant plots appear in Nick's hallucinations. In the first part of The Mummy, the male protagonist fell into a hallucination when he walked through the scorpion cave to the door with the scriptures and saw what happened in ancient times. In this new mummy, Nick's many hallucinations are considered to be Salute to the old man. Impressive opening battles are designed to precede important clues. Mainly based on the third-person perspective, borrowing a lot from game CG, the camera movement is rich and jumping. Although the plot design is a bit weak, for example, the terrorists used guns to destroy the ancient building, a group of people chased the two without being hurt, and what is even worse is that they disappeared with their weapons, becoming unarmed soldiers, and the pursuers also It disappeared inexplicably, but the movie's enjoyment is still quite strong. After all, due to the progress of the plot and time constraints, it is understandable that the story is a little cramped. Finally, the point finally came, and so did many problems: a big hole in the ground. There are some problems with the design of this story, this big pit should not appear directly below the village anyway. Before the terrorists destroyed some statues, maybe because they wanted to destroy what they thought was an evil heresy. This paragraph is unclear, and as a village in the cursed land, there should be no living people living in it. It seems that this scene is placed in the It would be more reasonable in the mountains. Probably because if the battle took place in the mountains, there would not have been those twisty street fights, escapes, and shocking scenes of houses collapsing as Hellfire missiles hit the ground and collapsed. Maybe the director wants to get rid of the previous circle of no-man's land where every tomb must be, and create a brand new scene. Maybe this village can be another rebirth of the Diablo universe series.
The appearance of the pit corresponds to the huge tomb dug up in the city at the beginning, and the unblocking of the demon may be due to the discovery of gems in the tomb of the Crusaders. That said, it's no accident that Nick was already designated as the one chosen before coming here. But the film did not explain this, which made some of Nick's actions seem inexplicable, such as suddenly drawing a gun in the hole to interrupt the rope that suppressed Armanet, and released the sealed Armanet. These films have one thing in common: fate. As the protagonist, his fate is bound to be linked with Amanette. Nick must have been the man to be cursed at the start of the movie, but it's not addressed in this movie. Even through the supplementary statements of other characters in the future, such as the part where Dr. Hyde pulled him into the crew, he did not make it clear in detail. Does this mean that the movie still has a prequel? This is quite interesting. Before he came into contact with the undead, Nick acquired the ability to be immortal, and perhaps his luck came from this. Speaking of which, I think of the motorcycle rider who signed a contract with Death in the movie Soul Chariot played by Nicolas Cage. If there is such a prequel, I'm still looking forward to it.
In the subsequent development of the plot, monsters, zombies, sand dust in the shape of monsters, swarms of spiders and sandstorms after the release of Armanet are all props of traditional mummies. That comrade-in-arms was bitten by Amanette's spider and became her assistant, paving the way for her to direct the spider to destroy Henry's research laboratory. What's interesting is that the poor comrade-in-arms continued to harass him after he died. The part that appeared in the mirror of the women's toilet is very interesting in design. The director seems to want to add some other flavor to the tense horror, but the design of this plot does not seem to make the plot more tense and exciting, on the contrary, it adds a comedy flavor. Tommy has always been a wise and tough guy on the screen, resolute and resolute, but the design of this episode completely makes Tomoe a comedian, and he doesn't seem to be really good at acting comedy, so it makes people feel very awkward.
But the story is better. One of the most interesting plots is the dislocation of space and time, which changes as Nick switches between the past and the present. He was wandering in the past, but at the same time he was also active in reality. The performance was that when he fell into a hallucination, how did this change happen, but he didn't explain it, and no one knew. After a trance, Nick went to another The conditions under which the trance occurs are not known. In the first part of The Mummy, there is a similar process, but it is conditional. The protagonist has triggered some kind of switch, and his location has not changed. So what happened here makes people feel more magical. There is no foreshadowing and cause and effect. I don't know why this happened. Maybe the director also wants to give the audience such an illusion. However, after such a dislocation, the perception of the audience seems to be a kind of torture, and many plots happen inexplicably, and then the various paragraphs seem to be disconnected because of this. But it also gave the movie some room for imagination, and it might be more interesting if the movie could provide a corresponding map in time. The second most interesting design is the role of Henry. He is a two-faced person, but his introduction is relatively thin. His background, the team behind him, and the organization he is in are just a few words in the movie. , In fact, it is a very large system, and maybe it has something to do with Frankenstein, then it is involved with the zombie werewolf. If so, the story will be too long to tell. But the new mummy still hasn't explained it.
I think it's okay to tell the whole story. Exploring the cave, adventure in the air, fighting with Armanet, Henry's underground laboratory, and the final battle. This paragraph of description looks good alone. However, it is difficult to connect them together, and the connection between them is relatively reluctant. The resurrection after the crash, the appearance of Armanet, Nick and Armanet fighting in the church and being controlled by her are all inexplicable. In short, the devil is coming, and ordinary people are coming to die, but Nick always managed to escape, even though he was the one designated.
The ending of this movie left several big bosses, Seth, Henry or Hyde and their organization, the force behind the book represented by the book, and the force represented by Nick. What kind of story will there be between them, we can only look forward to the further description of the dark universe.
The dark universe tells about a huge story system. This first part is probably just a wedge and an introduction. This universe is not like Marvel, it is connected by the stories of one hero. The organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. came together and finally had its own story. If nothing else, this is the beginning, the continuation of a grand story. Although the current plot seems to be fragmented, it is hoped that in the future they will be connected by various sequels or prequels to become a complete story.
