The Mummy - Quest for the Lost Scrolls (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not having seen any of this cartoon series based on Universal's feature film, "The Mummy," I was surprised at how much fun this was to watch. With all the characters from the film transformed to animation, the basic sense of fun and adventure remain.
The cartoon, however, centers around their young son, Alex, who unknowingly becomes the target of "you know who" when his mom and dad unearth an ancient bracelet holding secrets. It will take Alex and his parents from Cairo to Paris, across the sands on camel and through the sky in a dirigible.
That same sense of fun and adventure that was so prevelant in the film runs throughout this enjoyable animated feature. There is just the right mix of danger and wise-cracking to make for a good time.
Those who enjoy the occasional cartoon feature will like this one a lot. And kids will certainly gobble it up. An enjoyable time-killer that won't bore parents looking for something to watch with their children. Good stuff.

Riddick Trilogy (Pitch Black / The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury / The Chronicles of Riddick) (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here are the unrated versions of all of the Riddick tales. We get Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, a short animated film. But will all of the movies and all of the extras, we are still missing the half-hour promotion feature where we see Riddick's past. Originally he was a government assassin who was trained a bit too well. When the government was done with him they tried to eliminate him. Riddick survived and trumped up charges were invented sending him on the run. But that original story is missing from this collection.
Pitch Black. Riddick is one of a handful of survivors who crash on a bright and arid world. But once in a while, the three suns are completely blocked and true darkness covers the land. It is in this darkness that the remaining life on the planet comes out of hiding and goes hunting. Riddick must fight the dark, hold tr group together, and somehow escape the planet.
Dark Fury. Having escaped at the end of the first movie, Riddick and company are picked up by a bounty hunter who has a different idea of what to do with dangerous men. Now Riddick is faced with killers, monsters, and a captain who seems to worship the skill of killing and survival. This film is short and animated but uses the voices of actors from the other movies.
The Chronicles of Riddick. Here old acquaintances try to enlist Riddick's help in stopping a force known as the Necromongers. It is their sworn duty to purge the flawed life of our universe so that they can be born in perfection in the underverse. This time Riddick is faced with his past, unstoppable armies, weapons of mass destruction and possibly the fate of the whole world.
A nice collection of some interesting films. Packed in a nice small package this is not just a bundle but an original collection. Plenty of action and tough guys for any appetite. See the full range of the Richard P. Riddick stories from the starkness of Pitch Black to the visually overwhelming Chronicles of Riddick. Check it out.
