Universal The Mummy (1999) HD-DVD
Deep in the Egyptian desert, a handful of people searching for a long-lost treasure have just unearthed a 3,000 year old legacy of terror. Combining the thrills of a rousingadventure with the suspense of Universal's legendary 1932 horror classic 'The Mummy,' Starring Brendan Fraser, is a true nonstop action epic, filled with dazzling visual effects, top-notch talent andsuperb storytelling.
Amazon.com:
If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version of The Mummy is spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it 'hokey,' 'cheesy,' and 'pallid.' Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the characters occasionally slip into cliché, but who cares? When that action gets going, hold tight--those two hours just fly by.
The premise of the movie isn't that far off from the original. Egyptologist and general mess Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) discovers a map to the lost city of Hamunaptra, and so she hires rogue Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) to lead her there. Once there, Evelyn accidentally unlocks the tomb of Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo), a man who had been buried alive a couple of millennia ago with flesh-eating bugs as punishment for sleeping with the pharaoh's girlfriend. The ancient mummy is revived, and he is determined to bring his old love back to life, which of course means much mayhem (including the unleashing of the 10 plagues) and human sacrifice. Despite the rather gory premise, this movie is fairly tame in terms of violence; most of the magic and surprise come from the special effects, which are glorious to watch, although Imhotep, before being fully reconstituted, is, as one explorer puts it, rather 'juicy.' Keep in mind this film is as much comedy as it is adventure--those looking for a straightforward horror pic will be disappointed. But for those who want good old-fashioned eye-candy kind of fun, The Mummy ranks as one of choicest flicks of 1999. --Jenny Brown

I ordered a DVD and it was delivered in a timely manner in excellent condition. I would order through this vendor again without hesitation.
Rating:  - Forgot to mention this...
But Universal did at the very least included DTS! to this Blu-ray! as well as the first movie.
By the way, this movie on the whole. Was not very good and was a bit way too campy.
Rating:  - The O'Connells are back and so is Imhotep
Ten years after their original bout with Imhotep, Rick (Fraser) and Evelyn (Weisz) O'Connell have settled down and have an eight-year-old son, Alex. Imhotep's safely behind them and locked away in the British museum, when another evil comes into play. It's up to the couple to save the world--and their incorrigible son--once more.
This episode has all the facets of the original "Mummy" coupled with an enduring love and an endearing little boy who literally steals the show from both ... Read More
Rating: - Indiana Jones style archeology without the ick factor
Egyptian priest Imhotep was mummified alive and cursed after killing Pharaoh Seti and sleeping with his intended fiancee. In 1923, treasure hunters Rick O'Connell (Fraser), Evelyn Carnahan (Weisz), and Jonathan Carnahan (Hannah) accidentally set him free. It's up to the intrepid trio -- with a little help from their friends -- to set things right before the Mummy destroys the world. You've got a good deal of action and adventure with some serious romance thrown in, too.
If you don't ... Read More
Rating:  - The won't work
I got this about a month ago and also had bought The Mummy Returns. I just got a HD DVD player in Feb. and it won't play on it or any other I have in the house. They had a piece of paper that came in the movie case and said that you machine may need to be updated. I went to the website and all they have is an announcement saying that they aren't making HD-DVD players anymore.
