We just watched it on Disney + and thoroughly enjoyed it. Johnson and Blunt provide all the charisma and make the viewer (at least for me it did) over look how ludicrous the plot is. I think it borrows heavily from Brendan Fraser’s Mummy, which ain’t a bad thing.

I liked it but thought there was ZERO chemistry between Blunt and Johnson.

Ok, some of you enjoyed it, but beyond that, has this film any merit? I am guessing there was a 3D conversion of also, which we'll never see on physical media.

Is it going to be nominated for best picture? No. But people enjoyed it and I think that has merit.

The 3D for of this movie was really good! I thought it was an entertaining popcorn flick. As usual with Disney movies of the last 15 years or so you can tell the spent a fortune on it—and much of that ended up on the screen.

Glad to see a Disney blu-ray audio track that rates highly. They've put out so many underwhelming releases.

Caught part of it at a friend's place. The few scenes that I saw (like the boat headed for an imminent crash into protruding tree branches) just cries for a 3D release!

My grandson wanted to watch it yesterday on Disney Plus. There were many scenes have would have been pop-outs in 3D.
