Audio Commentary – Brendan Fraser, who lets us know from the start that he won’t have much in terms of in depth information to share, pretty much narrates the film and that is a let down, but his humor really perks up the experience and makes it well worth a listen.

I find that earlier 4K releases like this tended to go a little HDR crazy and wound up with exaggerated tones. Throw in Russell Crowe's scenery-chomping Dr Jekyll, dollops of just-about-passable CGI, dump it all in a modern-day setting and you're left with something that has only a fraction of the charm of the 1999 film of the same name. That occurred here – maybe not to an extreme, but the image’s HDR simply came across as somewhat overdone.

Although they suffer from a little too much “happy talk” at times - during which they tell us how great everything was - the guys nonetheless impart a solid amount of information.

If you’re all about how it looks and sounds (like me), then this might be worth it as the film looks and sounds better than ever before. At the start of the program, Sommers briefly discusses his inspirations for the film, but after that, it's almost entirely a review of the special effects machinery. Try not to take everything too literally and just sit back and enjoy the action (what, you mean you’re supposed to suspend your disbelief while watching a movie? Building a Better Mummy – A fifty minute documentary that allows us to take an in depth look at how The Mummy was made. That's okay, though I would have preferred a program that also got into the "whats" and "whys" as opposed to just the "hows".

An American serving in the French Foreign Legion on an archaeological dig at the ancient city of Hamunaptra accidentally awakens a Mummy. However, many other segments - particularly the creepy ones in the tombs - were very compellingly rendered, as they used the surrounds to terrific advantage.The 4K UHD presents inconsistent visuals along excellent audio and a solid selection of bonus materials. Although much of the dialogue clearly needed to be looped, the speech always seemed warm and natural, and it integrated into the events well. It has more than a passing nod to BFM and a certain book from that film makes a brief but funny appearance.
