Directed by Alex Kurtzman,  a remake is a remake, but Tom Cruise is a megastar.  He headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures worldwide since the dawn of civilization — The Mummy.

Though safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess, played by Sofia Boutella, awakens with a destiny that brings her into our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the Middle East’s sweeping sands through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

I love this story because it’s packed with action, never a dull moment.

Cruise stars with a brilliant cast, including Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe.

The movie will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
