This movie does at first seem like a copy of the "Indiana Jones" movies, and it does bear a lot of striking resemblances to those movies. That being said, don't get me wrong. Because "The Curse of King Tut's Tomb" is an entertaining movie. Sure it may not have had the same budget as the "Indiana Jones" movies, but it did manage to hold its own well enough.
The story is about archaeologist Danny Freemont (played by Casper Van Dien) who is after four emerald fragments of a mystical tablet that Tutankhamon broke in order to keep Set and his demonic spawn from the world of man. At the same time a secret order, with a sinister agenda of their own, is chasing after the very same four fragments for using in their dark dealings.
"The Curse of King Tut's Tomb" does offer entertainment, action and excitement in a very "Indiana Jones"-like way. If you enjoyed those type of adventure movies, then you will also enjoy this particular movie.
The CGI effects were adequate for the purpose they served. Just don't expect it to dazzle your mind and blow you away.
There is a good continuous flow to the movie and storyline, and the people on the cast list were doing good jobs with their given roles and characters. The movie runs about two hours and forty minutes, so you will be in for an extended evening of adventure.
The scene with the dead guy had me laughing, because you could so clearly see his eyes fluttering and his chest heaving as he was breathing.
The movie does have an appeal to both young and mature audience. I was thoroughly entertained by this movie, and it surprised me when it turned out much better than I had anticipated.
