Midnight Screenings LIVE - THE MUMMY and IT COMES AT NIGHT

[@almightycinder]

IMAX doesn't have a volume control. Where I work, literally the only way to turn it down is to put a sound cue after every trailer (they can't be back to back) that turns it down a few decibels. It took us a while to figure this out, and now we put one between EVERY single trailer.

[@Seargent363]

That makes no goddamn sense, especially seeing how trailers are suppose to be way louder than the actually film.

[@toomanyaccounts]

one movie theater told me that the audio settings were not able to be changed and hence if the system needs adjustment they cannot do it. I was thinking bullshit. you are either lying or you have the suckiest sound system if you cannot set it for each movie and theater.

[@rommix0]

The Mummy comes at night? Thanks for letting me know

[@LastLaughStudios]

Mr Spectacals that just made me think Of vampire mummies

[@rommix0]

+LastLaughStudios That's interesting. I was thinking of the other one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) The sequel should be about how mummies make babies and their feud with the vampire mummies.

[@johnpotts8308]

Typical. Mummies get blamed for everything. What were the vampire daddies doing, huh?

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

"Mummies mostly come at night. Mostly."

[@muffinman472]

Brian is my favorite. He's always so happy 👍

[@jlprizm]

Yup. He's usually the least moody/negative. Even when he doesn't like a movie he can talk about it without getting too angry about it. Sara is usually a good sport too.

Re: The Gift - "Joel Edgerton knows how to pick a script." Joel Edgerton wrote and directed The Gift.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

We were speaking in general.

[@tintinismybelgian]

In The Mummy, Russell Crowe's character(s) calls Tom Cruise's character a "young man." Guess who's actually older?

[@tintinismybelgian]

Maybe Russell Crowe's Jekyll/Hyde character is one of those characters who's over 100 years old but has some sort of curse/magic/science that stops him from physically aging. I don't recall anything like that being brought up in The Mummy, but if there's a sequel, maybe we'll find out.

[@JacobCMayer]

That Dutch angle is probably better than most of The Mummy.

[@Jaytheradical]

A version of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen where each character's iconic story is released as a movie beforehand would be really interesting. Basically taking the MCU concept and applying it to a comic where every character is from a classic victorian novel... or novella in a few cases.

[@troin3925]

Jaytheradical They're making a new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie that's a reboot.

[@Fiver565]

It's not that the universal monsters aren't scary they just need to make it less campy more gothic. Or use more practical effects vs cg. That's part of what makes the monsters so special to me...gothic and practical That's just me though.

[@Kaefer1973]

Frankenstein's Monster actually is less scary than it used to be, in it's case there has to be some focus on the tragedy as well.

[@Fiver565]

Kaefer1973 Good point... looking back on it when I read it I could relate most to the monster.

[@Fiver565]

Swift Nimblefoot I don't think that CGI is bad it's overused in horror films...showing the monster early lessens the shock thus makes it really boring to watch. Not talking sci fi films with Gurdains of the Galaxies one and two which you need heavy use of cgi and such

[@adamcheek2244]

Fiver565 I think they're trying too hard to revamp their Monsters universe into an action franchise. I love the slow-burn feel of their monster films from the 1930s and 40s. Not that I don't like action, but I think they should just let those classics stand on their own

[@Fiver565]

Adam Cheek same here! Like in Cat People that scene in the pool! Or in American Werewolf the train station scene.

[@TheRealUcanUwill]

Anyone else here loves Brendan Fraser's Mummy? That movie gets bad rep, but I love it, one of my favorite films. Need to go back and watch it again sometime (i have seen it plenty of times)

[@OtterPawStudios]

I've worked as a projectionist. Working with IMAX is a bitch. It has its own system that you have to log into in order to modify anything. And it can sometimes take a little while to actually make any changes.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Otter Paw Studios That sounds like a real annoyance, but I can see it making sense.

[@tokyo_taxi7835]

I have to laugh at the plot, because in Ancient Egypt, the power of the throne was believed to belong to the females of the family, which is why so many brothers married their sisters. Likely Ahmanet would have been married to her brother, or a half-brother from one of her father's concubines.

[@stonecoldku4161]

"The IMAX sound experience...You'll never experience sound again."

[@subj3ctt0chang3]

It Comes At Night is a movie about a young man having trouble dealing with adult situations set against a post apocalyptic backdrop, but it was advertised as The Walking Dead with less of a soap opera vibe. The audience in my theater left feeling tricked and depressed. I would probably have liked it more if I actually knew what it was going into it. That's probably why the critics score and audience score is so far apart of rotten tomatoes. Also, SPOILERS:: Who killed the dog and who opened the door?! Those were the questions that frustrated me. That shit just happened then everyone got sick and died. And why was the son drawing those creepy figures? Were these aliens or were those two attacker guys part of a larger group and tracked the group down?

[@HalfKocked]

Loved watching "It Comes At Night" in a big theater. The ending made it hard for me to breathe.

[@MARRO1190]

that ending was pure brutality, I completly agree with ya

[@lisettegarcia7013]

HalfKocked It comes at night sucks, there were no zombie attacks, nothing! My stepdad wished we never watched it.

[@ryanrobotham7696]

I think the big problem with The Mummy was the timing: I noticed that Dracula Untold (which was originally going to start this Dark Universe) came out a year after The Conjuring and this movie came out after The Conjuring 2. If these movies started production after recognising the climate for horror with The Conjuring series, Don't Breathe, Get Out and Split, they might have had a better idea of what audiences want and what to do with the idea. For me, it's like Baywatch, I don't hate it, but it's still bad.

[@abselby]

I worked in a movie theatre where when the volume was too loud, it was the same thing--for some god forsaken reason if you tried to correct it, it either whispered or eardrums were popping. So I say a design flaw... I mean FFS why make the sound that hard to fix?

[@aaronthebox]

What pisses me off about The Mummy is that the rest of this franchise COULD be good, but since this one sucks, we may not see the rest of the possibilities

[@rjmunster9600]

Aaron Carnes I agree. I got a $8 off coupon for The Mummy. So I still may go see it. But I think Bride of Frankenstein should have been first in this universe. At least it got a good director working on it.

[@moviemaster7349]

I bet there will be at least one gem.

[@KarmikCykle]

A year after this review it's definitely dead in the water, everyone involved has moved on and Bride of Frankenstein never made it past pre-production.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

The Mummy 2017: You'll bleed from the ears it's that bad

[@MrCreeper-yf4mc]

Don't worry you guys...Now that Cars 3 will come out in select IMAX theaters,you can say RIP to your ears.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Creeper3455 HD It doesn't look like my local one will have it. 😩

[@fatjoe460]

How does "The Mummy" movie compare to Brendan Fraser's "The Mummy" Brad? Love the one with Brendan Fraser for being a fun action movie with creepy moments but lots of funny moments.

[@nikolasmokalis3425]

fatjoe460 not as fun, not as creepy, not as funny

[@dukespubber741]

Holy crap. I saw Pirates on Tuesday and not only was the theater it was in also warm due to broken AC, but it was ALSO unbelievably loud too. It wasn't IMAX, but otherwise it seemed like we saw movies in the same theater despite being 10 states away.

[@Judgeman03]

Brad decided to film the review like Battlefield Earth so he can finally be as tall as Brian.

[@wittyreviewer]

"The monster version of Shield" We've seen that before in a much better movie. It was called Hellboy.

[@weeds526]

The idea of a Universal monsters universe is actually pretty cool if they decided to make it into a series of legit horror films with A-list talent in front of and behind the camera. Unfortunately, it seems like they went the Fan4stic route...

[@berserkasaurusrex4233]

Personally, I can't wait for "Goofy Hat Floats About For 90 Minutes". Or its international title, "The Invisible Man" starring Johnny Depp.

[@Zeitgeist6]

saw It Comes A Night today based on your recommendation. Very very dark psychological stuff. Loved it!

[@moomoopuppy5810]

I remember in college, you would see old folks coming on campus to get free haircuts from the cosmetology students.

[@sgephardt4036]

I had the same experience with the super loud Imax audio when I went to see Wonder Woman here in Nashville. Got the Dunkirk trailer too, and got some tinnitus out of it. The audio had corrected by the time the movie had started though. I guess that is just a problem all of the Imax theatres have.

[@billcasey3492]

I mostly come at night. You don't see me making movies about it... Mostly...

[@alexandergiandettore]

I was going to say the same thing Brad. I hate dream sequences in horror movies but it actually played to the mood really well.

[@Anduwaithe]

Oh Lord, when I went to see "Quantum of Solace", the volume was messed up like that. They didn't fix it, either, because the manager was busy arguing with his girlfriend on his cellphone. Only time I ever walked out of a movie.

[@matthewkoch6937]

Wow, that's ridiculously unprofessional. Movie theaters have definitely gone downhill...

[@charlieni645]

Despite Mummy kinda sucked, I'm still very excited about how they are going to tackle the universe thing. Jekyll & Hyde is one of my favorite characters from British literature, and this film shows that Russel Crowe is not a bad choice. It hope there will be a solo film about his origin story that is close to the source material.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

倪传历 Also, the next movie(one of the Frankenstein ones) is in 2019, so they aren't rushing.

[@TheRealNormanBates]

21:15 my brother and I were having a laugh when that bit came up in the trailers. I leaned over and said: "Only a ninja... can defeat a ninja".

[@matthewrichards4078]

he re-met mina in present day WITH the older vampire and it's in the part of england you see in scenes from the mummy.

[@lemotheemonemo]

I don't understand why people are finding The Mummy remake to be complicated. -Ahmanet (the mummy princess) was going to lose her chance at the throne to her new brother (men of royal blood got first dibs, even if not the eldest child). So she killed him and the parents. [Although, why she didn't hire an assassin is a good point. But if she couldn't get to the throne with god-like powers, I'm gonna assume she'd fail with an assassin. Though, many royals tended to build up their immunity to poisons to minimize assassination attempts]. -Ahmanet turns Tom Cruise into is a human vessel for the Egyptian god Set. (In fact, that sand storm ability is based off of Set's domain). -At the end, Tom Cruise (Nick) wants to find a cure to the above curse. Granted there's a lot of issue with this movie, but I don't understand how that's one. :\ Are people not familiar with basic Egyptian culture or something? I mean, I'm not even that familiar with it, but I could at least follow the plot and back stories.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Because the movie is a cobbled together mess of a few different scripts and jumps tone so many times that we need a few seconds to recover from the whiplash.

[@russellhunter363]

Next week, there's also 47 meters down (the shark movie) and All Eyez on Me (Tupac movie).

[@theoriginalmrjguill3803]

Dark Universe has the right premise going with this "cinematic universe". I like the idea of these movies being connected. They just need to find their own "Joss Wheadons, James Gunns, Jon Favreus" to make these classic monster movies work. I agree more practical effects less CGI is the way to go.

[@Amitlu]

so the Mummy showing for you is what every IMAX experience was to me and my tinnitus (also good old Nolanmovies on IMAX)

[@mathieuleader8601]

the mummy was an extraordinary gentleman movie to be honest

[@rt6692]

Interesting you mentioned this screenplay was cobbled up from different scripts because this was written 6 different writers.

[@TheAdorkableRJ]

I really hope they don't screw up the new Bride of Frankenstein like this. Unlike any of the Mummy movies, I actually give a shit about the original Bride of Frankenstein and a modern take on it could actually be interesting if they know what they're doing.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Monster SHIELD? I believe they're called The Midnight Sons.

[@Witchypooh66]

Hey, you have it easy, only getting a manicure. I took esthetics, and my poor boyfriend had to come in and get his nose, and inside his ears waxed, as practice. He drew the line, when they wanted a guy to demo a scrotum waxing on. He told me getting a nasal wax wasn't his idea of a good time, but the ear waxing was worse. However, he lucked out, as the other person who had it done as a demo, ended up getting some of the skin, inside her nose burned off.

[@Morhek]

Great reviews as usual, guys. Hope the teeth problems can get fixed, Brian!

[@SpongeyTheEditor]

Starts at 46:37

[@troin3925]

AntonyBlalock Nice try. I can see how long it is.

[@sabrinaloizides-merideth9874]

You should totally see "Loving." It is awesome!

[@BlazePiffington]

Wow, I can't believe Brad mentioned Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, I wonder if he plans to review it someday…Chock full of material

[@missnotsocool96]

3:57 or 5:19 - 22:55 for The Mummy. (spoiler heavy) 23:50 - 43:33 for It Comes At Night. (As vague as the Get Out review)

[@jdzencelowcz]

I enjoyed The Mummy, but it felt kinda weak as the 1st of a franchise. The effects & references were the highlight. & I did laugh at the dark humor. I read the plot of ICAN off wiki, that was depressing...

[@blackcirnoguro5953]

From the thumbnail, I read YUMMY as the movie poster title.

[@JetblackThemeTime]

Doctor back story and Mr. Exposition. I like that.

[@ChildOfApollo]

I am probably one of the 3 people in this world who actually enjoyed Brenden Fraiser's The Mummy

[@markgrindol859]

I purchased tickets a week in advance to see "The Mummy" in IMAX at the Olathe, KS AMC but when I went to see it. Universal had decided to pull it and keep "Wonder Woman" in the IMAX theater instead. So Universal doesn't have much faith in it. I still got to see it in a different theater.

[@Excelsior_15]

I love that I'm not the only grown ass man that fucking loves new girl. they totally give away the Tom Cruise getting the mummy powers in the trailer, so no spoiler alert necessary.

[@RasenFemme]

*sarcastic voice* Ugh, I am so disappointed this isn't a Snob review for "The Mummy Comes at Night."

[@whiteydiamond]

I feel like Bradley Cooper coulda nailed it as lead

[@nannaleifa]

I'm not sure if this crossover setup is going to be as good as The Avengers or as bad as Amazing Spiderman 2.

[@ryanrobotham7696]

Looks like it's at the level of the DCEU, the potential's there, it just keeps tripping over itself.

[@barry2349]

Ryan Robotham dceu was never that bad marvel fanboy dceu is back now that it had Geoff John's so they will destroy marvel movies ohh wait wonder women already did anyway now dceu films will beat marvel in movies department as well the only thing they were good at

[@nannaleifa]

I just found out that the director of the new Mummy was involved in Amazing Spiderman 2. No wonder why the movie feels so clustered! Plus with 6 writers...

[@ryanrobotham7696]

+Barry 234 Ah, the "marvel fanboy" argument complete with bad grammar, how original. First of all, I said, "the potential is there" which implies that I might actually WANT the DCEU to succeed in spite of everything and second, yeah, they're going to start beating the Marvel movies based on ONE universally beloved movie. I loved Wonder Woman even more than a fair few of the Marvel movies, but now they need to be consistently good now, if they want to keep going.

[@ryanrobotham7696]

+Hanna Leifa The thing with Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and I'm going to include Damon Lindelof as well, is that they write their franchise movies like episodes of TV shows, very open-ended with very little self-contained story, especially with The Amazing Spider-Man 2. To The Mummy's credit, it does try to be self contained, but ends up going off the rails towards the end especially when the Mr. Hyde side of Dr. Jekyll comes in, because having Dr. Van Helsing would have been too subtle.

[@BlueHooloovoo]

Brad, the theatres you go to seem to always suffer from technical problems. I've been to so many movies in my life and I have never encountered even a fraction of the technical problems you seem to encounter at your local theatres. Every five or so movies you go to always seems to have a technical problem.

[@jonasking9587]

Illinois, brah.

[@SimonBergeron1977]

The whole movie was THE Dark universe from Universal: you had a Mummy character with a special cameo by Jekyll, a Franken-script and a subtle Dracula cameo where your money will be bled dry...

[@sammayta7561]

you have to watch the mummy and dracula lives to get all the references in abbott and costello meet the wolfman, and you need to stay for the after credits scene to see the teaser for the monster mash

[@ghosface353]

First an adaptation of Leage of Extra Ordinary Gentlemen, then Van Helsing, then the Wolfman, and then Dracula Untold. You would think they have learned that this stuff doesn't work. Penny Dreadful is the only evidence that it could work, and that was on Showtime for an adult audience where the show didn't hold back.

[@didimean]

I have not, and will not watch the mummy... but have been looking forward to your review of it!

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

S.h.a.d.e from DC also Fit the monster version of Shield

[@emperorsean1]

is IMAX better then a regular cinema screening?

[@KATROSE92]

I wonder what you guys thought of the black bars during "It Comes at Night"? I didn't notice it till the end.

[@russellhunter363]

It comes at night starts at 23:48.

[@IAmAHeater]

Brad, are you a fan of the 1999 film(Asking this at the start of the video)?

[@inlpwetrust]

John Jones He said a few videos ago that he thinks it was fine.

[@h0lly_blue]

apparently Johnny Depp is gonna be the Invisible Man and Javier Bardem is gonna be Frankenstein in this series

[@DasKame]

Hahaha that sounds adorable

[@royal9743]

So... It comes at night is the sequel to 'This house has people in it'?

[@RiverOfWetness468]

The Mummy has the same RT percentage as Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.

[@cecelia996]

I was at our local HMV type store and they had the 1999 Mummy and it's sequals in new stealbox cases with cool new art with an $5 off coupon for this mummy movie , I don't even that would save the movie

[@jonathansefcik473]

One thing I really like about it comes at night is it has the balls to *spoiler alert...* They shoot and kill a 4 or 5 year old child. I'm amazed; kids never die in movies.

[@LicoriceLain]

And then the other thing that immediately follows that sequence, ending off the film.

[@CanItAlready]

Halloween III: Season of the Witch. *spoiler alert* The evil head of Silver Shamrock, the company that makes the deadly Halloween masks, gives a family a tour of the factory and then gives the kid a free mask. Then his parents get to watch him die when the chip in the mask is activated. *possible spoilers for three more movies* A rage-infected boy is bludgeoned to death in 28 Days Later. A little vampire girl is killed with an axe in 30 Days of Night. A newborn zombie baby is shot in the remake of Dawn of the Dead.

[@fahdchoudry7763]

I'm glad I decided not to watch the Mummy. Tom Cruise rarely has bad films but this one seems like a stinker. May watch Wonder Woman again

[@basicindiebro]

who else thinks that Brian is totally adorable?

[@strifera]

I'm okay with this as long as it doesn't lead to Tom Cruise sharing the screen with the CGI ghosts of Abbot and Costello.

[@user36able]

Out of curiosity Brad, do you like Interview With the Vampire? Tom Cruise is pretty great in it.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Hell yes.

[@trtx84]

You know, you guys joked...but now that you mention it I'm surprised nobody's tried to turn the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen into a movieverse. I wanna see Tom Sawyer vs. Dracula!

[@humanexperiment5644]

This whole dark universe seems terrible... I loved the universal classic monster films. And I hate the action direction universal keeps fucking taking these films, it's lie,t why have no trust in the horror genre so they say fuck it just make it an action film, stick Tom cruise and the slogan and take away all tragedy and gothic horror.

[@biocapsule7311]

They should take lessons from the series Penny Dreadful... that's how you make a horror shared universe.

[@Crowley9]

You know, there's a film from 1971 titled Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde.

[@yvonnerogers6429]

By God, you poor things have some of the worse luck at theatres! The first Midnight Screenings I ever watched was for "November Man" w/ Pierce Brosnan where the projector shut off right before the epilogue. I thought that was a fluke. Does all this nonsense happen at the same theatre? I guess if I saw more movies, I'd have something like this happen to me, too. At least nothing happened at It Comes at Night and you got to enjoy something this evening. Hope your mouth feels better, Irving. Thanks for the video. Best.

[@CaptToilet]

She wanted all the power so she goes "Oh Noooooo" That will tell Daddy not to give all the power to the man child

holy shit Sarah's a mom? (late) Congratulations!

[@H0lyMoley]

I feel like Tom Cruise is like Arnie in one way - he's best when he's doing big-concept sci-fi pics. (With Arnie you have "The Terminator" and "Predator" that are legit good, also stuff like "The Fifth Day" and "The Running Man" which I kinda love even though they aren't on the same level; with Cruise you have "Oblivion", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Vanilla Sky" which I kinda love even though it's flawed, etc.) I was hoping "The Mummy" would live up to "Edge of Tomorrow", but that's a really high standard to live up to. Sounds like "It Comes at Night" is more my jam!

[@H0lyMoley]

That's my favorite Tom Cruise film and performance! Unfortunately it had sequels (which I utterly despise. The fifth "Mission: Impossible" movie was probably the best of the sequels - not that that's saying much, since they're all so damn bad, and my biggest memory of that one is still Cruise jumping into a giant stone sphincter.)
