The DVD of The Mummy Returns also falls short in the audio department. Disappointingly, the official Hindi DVD version was found to contain only a 192kbps Dolby Stereo track, not the immersive 5.1 surround sound that a film of this scale deserves. This means you are missing out on the directional effects of spears whizzing by and the ground-shaking bass of the Anubis army.
The 2001 theatrical release was praised for its ambitious, albeit early, CGI. Watching this on a compressed streaming service often masks the detail and creates visual artifacts during the high-octane action sequences (such as the London bus chase or the final pyramid battle).
