What are critics saying?

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

Young viewers seduced by the trashy flash of "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" will be able to glimpse a vanished reality richer, stranger and bigger than all of the special effects in Hollywood.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman

Everyone will be awed by the swooping shots and sweeping vistas -- the stuff IMAX really does know how to do right.

New York Post by Lou Lumenick

A very elegant and fit-looking Omar Sharif appears as the on-screen narrator and Kate Maberly ("The Secret Garden") plays his granddaughter in a framing story.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

An oversized National Georgraphic special whose images of the Nile and Egyptian ruins are absolutely breathtaking on the oversized IMAX screen.
