Mummies Reviews & Ratings
Critics gave Mummies 50% on Rotten Tomatoes. Our Echo Score gives it 45/100, strongest in art & craft (55) and weakest in story & flow (35).
Mummies Echo Score Breakdown
Overall, Mummies offers a modest family‑focused animated outing that struggles to leave a strong impression. Critics note kinetic animation and occasional catchy songs, yet many point to an uninspired visual palette and a narrative that fails to engage. User feedback mirrors this split, with children finding amusement while adults describe the story as bland and repetitive. Consequently, the film provides limited lasting appeal despite its child‑friendly intentions.
Our own 0–100 rating, built from five aspects: art, character, story, the sensory experience and how well a film rewatches.
- Art & Craft 55
In terms of visual craft, the film presents a colourful but uneven animation style. Critics highlight kinetic sequences and occasional bright design, while others describe the look as bland or unpleasant. User comments echo this inconsistency, noting moments of cute visuals alongside remarks of dullness. Overall, the artistic execution is competent yet fails to achieve a consistently engaging aesthetic.
- Character & Emotion 45
Characterisation receives mixed appraisal across reviews. Voice talent is praised for its appeal to adults, and some viewers find the protagonist relatable and the chemistry acceptable. However, many critics and users describe the personalities as generic, the villain uninteresting, and the emotional depth lacking. These divergent perspectives suggest the character work is serviceable but does not offer substantial depth or resonance.
- Story & Flow 35
The narrative structure is widely regarded as the film's weakest element. Critics argue that the plot is derivative, struggles to find a compelling arc, and lacks distinctive heart. User feedback frequently mentions incoherent pacing, an unsatisfying conclusion, and a bland storyline. While a few reviewers note occasional adventurous moments, the overall consensus points to a story that fails to engage effectively.
- Sensory Experience 50
Sensory components such as music and sound design receive varied feedback. Some critics commend a standout musical number and occasional catchy songs, whereas others find the soundtrack forgettable and the overall auditory experience unremarkable. Users note that children respond to the humor and music, yet also cite unfamiliar or misplaced tracks. Consequently, the sensory experience is acceptable but not consistently memorable.
- Rewatch Factor 40
Replay value appears limited according to both critics and audience members. The film is described as safe, child‑friendly entertainment that may hold short‑term appeal for families. Nevertheless, reviewers cite repetitive humor, a lack of narrative depth, and a predictable structure, reducing incentive for subsequent viewings. As a result, the rewatch factor remains modest, offering little compelling reason to revisit.

What happens in Mummies from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events and the ending explained. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Thut, portrayed by Joe Thomas, is no ordinary Egyptian mummy—he’s a chariot racer grappling with severe post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from a tumultuous crash that ultimately forced him into an early retirement from the adrenaline-fueled sport. Struggling with his new life, Thut is adamantly opposed to the idea of marriage, viewing it as a chains that would bind him to a single partner for all eternity, especially considering that mummies dwell forever in the enigmatic city of the Underworld.
