The story is tediously predictable, which I suppose the filmmakers think they are getting away with since this is supposed be a myth. So…yeah, it’s a pretty straightforward epic quest narrative complete with all of the booby-trapped temples and giant boss battles that one might expect from a second rate video game…er…I mean blockbuster. Aw, ain’t that sweet? Too bad even a god doesn’t have the power to do such things, no matter how strong the bonds of love may be. Unfortunately, she dies in the process, but Thwaites gets Coster-Waldau to promise to bring her back to life once they complete their mission. He conspires with his girlfriend (Courtney Eaton) to steal back one of the rightful king’s eyes and help him fight his way back into power. Fast-forward a few years and one of those humans (Brenton Thwaites) has had enough of Butler’s nonsense. Butler then assumes the throne and instantly become a corrupt leader who enslaves humans for his own selfish means. It’s such a special occasion that the young man’s long estranged uncle (Gerard Butler) makes an unexpected appearance, where he battles the would-be king for the crown and tears out his super special eyes. Things kick off at a crowning ceremony for a new king with super-powered eyes (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). The film takes place in ancient Egypt where gods walked amongst men.
