Ep 212: The Mummy (2017) - MumMay!

Tom Cruise plays a soldier who stumbles into an ancient tomb and accidentally “unwraps” a problem better left sealed, a vengeful princess with plans that are perhaps a bit too forward-thinking for the living. What follows is a globetrotting scramble involving secret societies, supernatural chaos, and Cruise doing his usual sprinting like cardio might fix a curse. The film aims for dark mythmaking; it was supposed to kick off Universal's now-defunct Dark Universe, but occasionally feels caught between tones, as if it can’t quite decide whether it's a horror or action film, so it tries to be both and ends up a little… entombed in its own ambition.
