Leave your thoughts about Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs.
| Seattle TimesTom KeoghAn exciting documentary that focuses on several aspects of the forgotten practice of mummifying the dead in preparation for the afterlife. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss AnthonySolid, but not daring IMAX cinematography. Has its moments, but fails to wow. |
| User ReviewChantal LNarrated by Christopher Lee, it tells the tale on how a large cache of Royal Egyptian Mummies was found. Great reenactments and scenery!! |
| User ReviewBrandon BA surprisingly engaging and interesting documentary that is meant to be seen on the IMAX screen. |
| User ReviewRoxanne RI watched the 3D version of this interesting and informational documentary and I was quite impressed! In mind-blowing IMAX detail you travel through time and learn about the mysteries of Egyptian mummies. See ancient tombs to uncover these carefully hidden preserved bodies. It goes in great detail about the process of mummifying the dead in preparation for the afterlife. Also talks about Ramses who was Egypt's ruler for nearly 70 years. Follow archaeologists and hyeroglyphics translators (there are just a handful in the world) to see these alluring excavations and tombs...You also get to follow present day scientists as they embark on a forensic investigation of the mummies, extracting clues from our past that can have a huge impact on medical science in our future. Highly recommended in blu-ray 3D format! |
