Officially announced back in 2014, Universal’s Dark Universe launched with Dracula Untold. Ten years of embarrassing memes later, and the studio has settled for a Dark Universe expansion of their theme parks. Sommer’s Mummy combines elements of Indiana Jones with gothic horror to make for a swashbuckling adventure filled with scares, spectacle, laughs and starry-eyed romance. While not a part of Universal’s Dark Universe, The Mummy set the template for what was possible. But none of the Dark Universe films managed to capture the adventurous spirit that has kept Sommers’ film alive for decades.
