A person committing some sort of treachery to the throne and was stopped. It had a lot of contrasts to the original. However, she was stopped and mummified alive by the priests before she could finish the ritual. She later wishes to rule Egypt with Set by her side but requires a living mortal to bring him to the mortal plane. Ahmanet then decides to make a pact with Set, the god of death in Egyptian lore, in order to regain her lost power.

She was originally the sole heir to the Egyptian throne but lost her position and power once her pharaoh father remarried and had a second child, a son. Just like the 1999 film, we start with the origins of ‘The Mummy’, which in this film is Princess Ahmanet. *For this review, I’ll be comparing both the original 1999 film with the 2017 film and praising or criticizing the remake as part of the review.* But let’s dive in to see what it’s about, shall we? Remakes tend to do much more poorly than its original and it did not help that it was released during the week Wonder Woman was also released. It’s been a while since I last saw Tom Cruise star in a bad film, but I guess no actor or actress will be able to escape from having a few bad films under his or her belt. While the original was a strange but somewhat effective mix of horror, comedy, adventure and corny one-liners, the 2017 remake kind of tries to do the same but takes its own twists. And so it begins… the first film in Universal Studio’s Dark Universe franchise, the 2017’s The Mummy, a remake of the 1999 film that starred Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz.
