DVD Reviews of The Mummy Returns [HD DVD]
DVD Review: HD-DVD Review
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want a review on the film then visit IMDB or the other amazon page for this.
Video Quality: 4.5/5 stars
There is a ton of computer generated special effects in this movie so HD is perfect for these types of movies. The rest of the movie is also pretty sunning but the movie has a lot of dark shots, so it isn't the supreme HD Demo disc.
Audio Quality: 4/5 stars
The audio isn't TrueHD but it does have a nice 5.1 Dolby Digital track. The surround sound is great in this movie with all of the sands and chases, it really showcases off your audio set-up.
Special Features: 4/5 stars
There is some pretty decent special features in this, but it isn't anything exclusive to your HD disc.
If you already own the regular dvd this isn't too much of an improvement. If you like the Mummy series (new age Indian Jones) then I do recommend this to you. Otherwise it will get much shelf time.
Description of The Mummy Returns [HD DVD]
Universal The Mummy Returns - HD-DVDAn ancient legacy ofterror is unleashed when the accursed mummy, Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), is resurrectedalong 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 (Brendan Fraser) and his wife Evie (Rachel Weisz) embark on a daring, desperate race to save their sonand the worldfrom unspeakable evil. Supercharged with pulse-pounding action and spectacular special effects that'll blow you away, The Mummy Returns is "the best adventure of the year" (MTV Radio).
Proving that bigger is rarely better, The Mummy Returns serves up so much action and so many computer-generated effects that it quickly grows exhausting. In his zeal to establish a lucrative franchise, writer-director Stephen Sommers dispenses with such trivial matters as character development and plot logic, and charges headlong into an almost random buffet of minimum story and maximum mayhem, beginning with a prologue establishing the ominous fate of the Scorpion King (played by World Wrestling Federation star the Rock, in a cameo teaser for his later starring role in--you guessed it--The Scorpion King). Dormant for 5,000 years, under control of the Egyptian god Anubis, the Scorpion King will rise again in 1933, which is where we find The Mummy's returning heroes Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz, now married and scouring Egyptian ruins with their 8-year-old son, Alex (Freddie Boath).
John Hannah (as Weisz's brother) and Oded Fehr (as mystical warrior Ardeth Bay) also return from The Mummy, and trouble begins when Alex dons the Scorpion King's ancient bracelet, coveted by the evil mummy Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), who's been revived by... oh, but does any of this matter? With a plot so disposable that it's impossible to care about anything that happens, The Mummy Returns is best enjoyed as an intermittently amusing and physically impressive monument of Hollywood machinery, with gorgeous sets that scream for a better showcase, and digital trickery that tops its predecessor in ambition, if not in payoff. By the time our heroes encounter a hoard of ravenous pygmy mummies, you'll probably enjoy this movie in spite of itself. --Jeff Shannon
