everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The acting in this movie is really good.

This will definitely give tough fight to whoever plans to make the most ridiculous horror/mummy movie in the future. The acting, the plot, the CGI, the direction and even the music are so rank pathetic that 15 minutes into the movie you start wondering if it is a spoof of the original Mummy series. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is worth a word of praise in this ill conceived effort. The director should have left a warning slide during the credits that this movie is an assault on your senses and that serious movie watchers need to get out of harms way for serious sensory damage are on the cards should one chooses to see this abomination to its full length.

Many people seem to be watching this under a false misconception, and are going in under the impression that it is connected to the popular 1999 Universal remake "The Mummy", and it's sequels/spin-offs. This is not the case. This film has nothing to do with those films- no shared cast or crew, no common story elements, not even a common studio producing this "effort." It has literally nothing to do with those films. This is what is commonly referred to as a "Mockbuster"- a low-budget film from a studio specializing in low-budget productions, which attempts to capitalize off of the success of much larger, more profitable studio films by making itself LOOK like those films through deceptive tactics like using similar titles, similar advertisements/poster designs, etc. But please know- this film and it's creators are in no way connected to or affiliated with any previous "Mummy" movie in any way.I felt it important to get that out of the way, as the "mockbuster" trend has been a growing problem in the world of home entertainment (thanks to companies like "The Asylum" who specialize almost exclusively in making rip-off "mockbusters"), and has for at least the past decade caused an increasing amount of confusion for consumers and movie-fans.I'll also note another important fact- "The Mummy Resurrected" is so bad... I wasn't able to make myself sit through it start-to-finish. It's cheap. Lazily constructed. Filled with flimsy scares and ludicrous amounts of padding. And dreadfully acted. Out of the 70ish-minute runtime (yes, it's only about 70 minutes, and is padded out to 80 with a prolonged opening credits and even more prolonged closing credits), I've maybe seen 40 minutes start-to-finish, before skimming through the rest on Fast-Forward.To go over the plot is virtually pointless. You know what you're getting into plot-wise. Curse tomb, evil mummy, blah-blah-blah. What you're really interested in are the actors, the scares, the "spooky" effects and the titular Mummy himself. And those are all drastic let-downs.For starters, the actors (all basically unknowns) mostly fall flat. It's hard to tell if they're truly "bad actors" of if they just can't manage to build any performance from the terrible writing and direction... but they almost universally fail at connecting with the audience and building any personality. This is one of those cases of "cardboard cut-out" performances, where a plank of wood with a face drawn on it would've worked just as well on screen. But I'm not going to blame the actors for this 100%. As I said, it could very well be the product of the lousy production.The "scares" are just dreadful. For starters, this is a remarkably boring film (mainly due to Patrick McManus' atrocious directorial choices), and the scares are all equally boring and phoned in, often being so needlessly prolonged and padded, they become unintentionally amusing as a result. (Case in point one scene, where bandages ssslllooowwwlllyyy snake along the ground and cover up a victim for what feels like a short eternity.)The visual effects are poor. Mainly comprised of terrible CGI "sand" that looks like early area 3D-video-game graphics. It doesn't feel organic or even remotely real-to-life. And the mummy itself is probably going to make you laugh out loud whenever it's on screen. It looks like any cheap "zombie" costume you could find in a Halloween shop, that's been wrapped up in nice, new clean gauze from a CVS pharmacy. You know you're in trouble when your 2014 film's mummy looks objectively worse than the creature from the original 1932 Boris Karloff film. Evidently, 80+ years of development in makeup effects don't mean squat if your design team is completely incompetent."The Mummy Resurrected" is one of the most painful entries in the "mockbuster" genre I've seen in quite some time. It's so cheap and padded, it's virtually unwatchable, and it can't even be bothered to give us even a remotely interesting mummy to look at.This one easily earns it's 1 out of 10 rating. Are we sure this wasn't meant to be a parody or something? Because it certainly doesn't work as a serious film, and supplies more unintentional chuckles than thrills...

I don't even know where to begin there was no storyline, no plot, all the actresses in it were pretty and young just to get young boys hormones going, it made no sense and by the end of the movie your sitting there thinking wow even Brendan Frasier would be sad right now. Don't WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ITS TERRIBLE AND LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WAS JUST Extremely BORED AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUNNY TO TRY AND MAKE THE WORST RIPOFF EVER MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I would rather watch the original mummy a hundred times before ever considering watching this again. I loved the mummy with Brendan Frasier and own all of them but this makes me sad someone tried to tie this movie with those.

I rented this with the expectation of seeing a cheesy B-rated horror movie. It started off fine, but then the acting, particularly the female lead, started to go off the rails. The only main male does okay but little is given about his back story and he seems to disappear conveniently during the film to his own little hole. The other characters are standard bunch but also seem to act at times like deer trapped in the headlight when faced with anything remotely scary. Characters act most times here without rime or reason leading the watcher scratching their head. Special effects go from not bad to just plain unwatchable. Oh, and did i mention that Mummies can transport people wherever they want? Who knew? In conclusion, avoid this movie and just watch something else, otherwise you'll feel trapped when watching this terrible excuse for a movie.
