But don’t you fret! Nick is not dead for long (not a spoiler, folks – it’s in the trailer) and soon discovers that he is now magically linked to the titular menace, formerly Princess Ahmanet, who was mummified alive back in the day for regicide and now wants to rule the world with all the powers of darkness at her comma- look, you get it.

Uncovering an ancient Egyptian tomb (in Iraq! It’s explained poorly) sets in motion a series of events that unleashes the evil of The Mummy (Sofia Boutella) via that actually quite impressive plane crash set piece you’ve seen on every trailer and TV spot. The Cruiser is Nick Morton, a cross between a special forces soldier and Indiana Jones, who we meet going about some tomb raiding in Iraq along with his sidekick, Sergeant Chris Vail (Jake Johnson, almost screaming to be heard over Cruise’s attention-hogging charisma). Indeed, if you ever wanted to see Ethan Hunt take on supernatural evil, that’s basically what you get here. The problem is genre The Mummy isn’t a horror movie, but an action movie, and one in the globe-trotting mode that leading man Tom Cruise has pretty much perfected in the Mission: Impossible series. What is in danger, however, is Universal’s much-ballyhooed Dark Universe project with this being the tone-setting opening gambit for their Universal Monsters shared universe, you wouldn’t hold out much hope for the future. The dangers never feel palpable, the key characters never in any peril. The world never feels under threat in The Mummy, no matter how often the film tries to tell us it is.
