The movie starts off in ancient China and goes into detail about how the terracotta soldiers were created through mystical practices and the evil Emperor that was ravaging the lands.
Then it cuts to 1946 with our beloved characters from the first and second Mummy movies, Rick and Evie O’Connell. Bored in their marriage and retirement, they accept one last job to bring an ancient artifact to China as a peace offering to the Chinese government. Their son, who has aged 10 years despite his parents anti-aging, has lost his British accent and is leading a dig in China to locate the evil Emperor. Of course he finds it and battles a sneaky ninja in the process.
Evie’s brother Jonathan has of course taken up residency in China and owns a nightclub cleverly called “Imoteps,” a poor reference to the first 2 movie’s mummy, which has an Egyptian theme.
The same night Alex, Evie and Rick’s son, decides to visit his Uncle’s nightclub also happens to be the night our main characters decide to finally drop in for a visit. Alex gets into a fight with some guy, who just so happens to be Rick’s long lost friend. (Oh brother)
Craziness ensues, the O’Connell’s are forced to open the tomb of the Emperor and resurrect him, somehow Evie can read Ancient Chinese as well… The streets of China are ravaged with fireworks and gunfire. In the meantime, Alex finds a love interest, Lin.
The new crew must now embark on a journey to stop the Emperor from becoming immortal, raising his army and taking over the world. Yeti’s help them and they find the mythical Shangri-La pool of immortality. Yeti’s people. ugh.
The Emperor of course makes it to the pool, becomes invincible, and steals Alex’s love, who happens to be a love child of the Emperors former General and a witch, who is also immortal.
A lot of mummies are raised from the dead and some lame fighting goes on. The good guys defeat the bad guys, all the mummies turn to dust and blow away. There’s some terrible dialogue and everyone is happy and in love, except Jonathan who wants to go to a place with no mummies, Peru. As his car pulls away a note pops up that they find mummies in Peru that year. (insert eye roll)
I give this movie a 1/5 reels. I would have given it a 0 except I did laugh at how terrible everything was.
This was a terrible ending to an okay trilogy. The original writer/director only came back for a producing credit, and it showed.
Rachel Weisz did not reprise her role, so we were stuck with Maria Bello, who to me smiled WAY too much!
The movie lacked the first 2 Mummy movies comedic timing and side characters. They tried way too hard to make it funny.
I found it dull and was not impressed with the backstory.
The Yeti’s were such a dumb addition. They kicked a guy in the butt through some pillars and threw their hands in the air as if they made a goal. (shakes my head)
We kept checking how much time was left throughout the whole movie waiting for it to finally end and our lives to go on!
I would not recommend this movie for anyone. Unless you wanted to watch a bad movie!

As someone who is 1/4 yeti I was offended by this movie.
