Kudos to the Army of Annubis

2008-09-08
All the effects and vistas look absolutely vivid and stunning. I was really impressed with how the film appeared in this format. I've owned this movie in regular DVD and the difference is like night and day. Every grain of sand as well as all the detail present in the Scorpion King, the wall of water, and of course the Army of Annubis were all realistic (looking)...and who could argue seeing Rachel Weisz in Hi-Def ? Although both "Mummy" films look the best they ever have, the second one wins the unofficial clarity contest. Oh yeah, the sound ROCKS !!

looks the best in blu-ray

I owned the HD-DVD version of the film...not anymore. This Blu-ray is the definitive option. It looks fantastic and sounds amazing. Great special features also. Highly recommended!

timeless adventure

An ancient legacy of terror is unleashed when the accursed mummy, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), is resurrected - along with a force even more powerful: The Scorpion King (The Rock). Now, as the fate of all mankind hangs in the balance, Rick O'Connell (Fraser) and his wife Evie (Rachel Weisz) embark on a daring, desperate race to save their son - and the world - from unspeakable evil. The Mummy Returns is supercharged with pulse-pounding action and spectacular special effects that'll blow you away.

fantastic

love the movie and the picture and sound quality is even better in bluray, great work

Forgot to mention this...

But Universal did at the very least included DTS! to this Blu-ray! as well as the first movie.

By the way, this movie on the whole. Was not very good and was a bit way too campy.

The O'Connells are back and so is Imhotep

2008-08-03
Ten years after their original bout with Imhotep, Rick (Fraser) and Evelyn (Weisz) O'Connell have settled down and have an eight-year-old son, Alex. Imhotep's safely behind them and locked away in the British museum, when another evil comes into play. It's up to the couple to save the world--and their incorrigible son--once more.

This episode has all the facets of the original "Mummy" coupled with an enduring love and an endearing little boy who literally steals the show from both good and bad guys. This is more slash and burn style archeology without the gore of an Indiana Jones film. Some of the effects in this show were a little too much--in particular, the pygmy mummies were a real stretch of suspension of disbelief.

This is what Blu is all about!

I can't recommend both Mummy movies on Blu Ray more! Awesome transfers for both flicks. But most of all, just good wholesome entertainment!
