Today after school, went to buy the The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor ticket as my baobei was so eager to watch the movie. We watched the movie at 7.40pm and bought our ticket at 1.30pm. Though i bought it at 1.30pm, the tickets were selling fast as at that time i can only bought the 2 tickets at the first 6 rows. Lucky i bought the tickets early if not i think if i later buy, there will be no more tickets available at the timeslot of 7.40pm.

Due to my baobei will be having event on 1st to 3rd August, he have no chance to celebrate my 21st birthday so he decided to have an advance celebration.

So in the evening, my baobei and i had our dinner at Tampines Mall restaurant name Phin's Beerhaus n Grille. Both of us was quite disappointed about the food as the quantity of food was too little and cost expensive for that amount of food. Other than the food, the thick shake was nice which i think is worth to drink and buy at the place. After dinner, we went to watch the movie.





Summary:

The film begins with a narration about the rise to power of Emperor Han, the Dragon Emperor. It details the relationship between him and Zi Juan who knows the secrets of immortality, which is the only battle that Han cannot win. Han declares to his first in command General Ming that no one is to touch Zi Juan, however ever since General Ming was charged with finding Zi Juan and bringing her to Han, he has fallen for her. After Zi Juan supposedly casts the immortality spell on Han, he claims he feels its power and ushers Zi Juan to the balcony where they look down to see General Ming tied at the arms and legs about to be pulled apart by horses. Han found out about their relationship and kills Ming while Zi Juan watches. He then stabs her but she escapes. Knowing that the Emperor would destroy the world if he were to become immortal, Zi Juan places a curse on him and his army to be turned to stone.

Explorer Rick O'Connell, his wife Evelyn and brother-in-law Jonathan are now retired. Rick is shown to be practicing fly fishing with little success. Evelyn has released two books about mummies which are obviously about her real life chronicles but at a book reading she declares that the character in the book is completely different from her. Their son Alex has dropped out of school and has become what the older O'Connell's still long to be, explorers and adventurers. Alex along with the financial backing of Roger Wilson, excavates and finds the Dragon Emperor's tomb but is attacked by a mysterious woman. They avoid being harmed and successfully bring the Emperor back to civilization. In the meantime, the British government entrusts the elder O'Connell's to take the Eye of Shangri-La back to China as a good faith gesture from the British to the Chinese. All the O'Connell's arrive at Imhotep, the night club that Jonathan now owns in Hong Kong. As they continue to Alex's exhibit, Roger, General Yang and his second in command Choi intervene, take the Eye of Shangri-La and force Evelyn to read the script to open the Eye and release the Emperor. Alex finds the mysterious woman from the excavation site at the exhibit and after a quick dialogue help in freeing Alex's parents. With the resurrected Han escaping with General Yang, the O'Connell's chase them through the streets of Hong Kong until the Dragon Emperor and Yang are able to escape.

The mysterious woman reveals herself to be Lin a protector of the Dragon Emperors tomb and says that Han will try to become immortal by going to Shangri-La using the Eye as its guide. The O'Connell's, Jonathan and Lin trek through the Himalayas with the help of Mad Dog Maguire and reach the tower that will reveal the path to Shangri-La when the Eye is placed on top of it. General Yang with his soldiers and the Emperor arrive shortly after and a a battle ensues. As the battle wears on, Lin yells to the mountains and beckons three yeti that protect the group and fend off the enemy soldiers. The Emperor grows impatient and is able to place the Eye on top of the tower to reveal the path to Shangri-La. Alex then triggers an avalanche from a bomb which buys them time to reach Shangri-La first.

Once they arrive, they are greeted by Zi Juan who is then revealed to be Lin's mother. They are immortal and have guarded the secrets of the Emperor for over 2,000 years. The Emperor arrives and is able to bathe in the pool which brings him back to his human form. His power is fully revealed and he, in the form of a three-headed dragon, kidnap Lin and fly to his Terracotta Army at the excavation site.

The Emperor summons his army and Zi Juan is able to summon the army of undead comprised of the Emperors enemies that he had buried beneath the Great Wall of China. Led by General Ming, the army of the undead and the Terracotta fight. An epic battle ensues which includes a one-on-one fight between Zi Juan and the Emperor resulting in her sacrificing herself in order to take the sacred dagger from the Emperor, which is the only weapon that can kill him. Meanwhile, Alex saves Lin and as the battle subsides, they find Zi Juan dying who gives the dagger to Lin and tells her to stab the Emperor through the heart.

Rick and Alex follow the Emperor to his main chamber and a fight ensues. Outside the main chamber, Lin and Evelyn are met by General Yang and Choi which are eventually disposed of. As the fight between Han and Alex comes to a brief end, Rick is able to plunge the dagger into the back of Han while he is in animal form turning him back human. Han and Rick fight without the use of sorcery and Han takes the upper hand. During the fight, the dagger is broken into two pieces. Alex is able to take one piece and leaves a sign for his dad to pick up the other piece and work as a team to plunge the dagger into the Emperors heart. In the climactic moment, Alex jumps from behind the Emperor with the dagger while simultaneously Rick stabs the emperor through the heart from the front. The dagger is pulled out and the Emperor dies a dramatic death.

Back at Imhotep, Mad Dog is the new owner and we find Lin, who gave up her immortality along with Zi Juan in order to kill the Emperor, dancing with Alex. Rick and Evelyn are dancing as well. We see Jonathan getting into a cab with the Eye of Shangri-La as he drives off to the airport to live in Peru, where he claims is a place where there are no mummies. After he leaves, a caption appears on the screen stating that a few weeks later there were mummies discovered in Peru.
