This zero-gravity sequence would have been better without the CGI.
The Big Picture 2017’s The Mummy is a mess for a number of reasons. For starters, the supernatural action reboot was supposed to launch the Dark Universe, a interconnected Universal monster movie franchise akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But after the film’s abysmal box office performance, the Dark Universe immediately ended, putting to bed Russell Crowe’s Jekyll and Hyde, Johnny Depp’s Invisible Man, Javier Bardem’s Frankenstein’s Monster, and Angelina Jolie’s Bride of Frankenstein.
The CGI Plane in 'The Mummy' Just Isn’t Convincing While Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, and the rest of the filmmaking crew actually went up in a plane that simulated a zero gravity nosedive, the shots of the crashing plane in the movie are completely CGI. So while the real stunts are happening inside the cabin, the threat of a crash landing is undermined by the less convincing cuts to the plane’s exterior.
What makes other blockbusters have a more genuine sense of scale and threat is the use of technically practical set pieces. For instance, when Tom Cruise performed the HALO jump in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, he was on an actual plane from which he jumped off alongside the crew who filmed the entire sequence.
Another example comes from yet another Cruise stunt in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, during which Cruise actually hung onto the side of a plane as it was lifting off the ground and into the air. The difference between these Mission Impossible stunts and the zero-gravity sequence in The Mummy is that the former engages the real-life environment for its sense of danger while the latter minimizes the stakes through a computer-generated environment.
