action

The aged Professor Esperandieu is concerned with the question of whether there is life after death, and he is organizing an experiment to revitalize matter. On a November night, “unearthly” light shines from his apartment on the Place de la Concorde for a moment. At the same time, a pterodactyl pterodactyl , which has been extinct for 135 million years, wakes up in its egg in the Paris Natural History Museum . He escapes to freedom and ends up on the roof of the taxi in which Monsieur Pointrenard, the former prefect of Paris , is having fun with a woman from the Moulin Rouge . His chauffeur presses the gas pedal in shock and the car crashes into the Seine. The police assume a terrorist attack because the only eyewitness who claims to have seen a large bird is heavily drunk. Despite the strict discretion prescribed by the Presidium, the dinosaur story was spread in the media the next day. Inspector Caponi is supposed to clear up the alleged assassination attempt on the politician.

In the meantime, reporter Adèle Blanc-Sec finds an intact pharaoh's grave in Egypt. In contrast to her companions, she is not interested in the gold, but in the mummy of Patmosis, the personal doctor of Ramses II. She is provided by Professor Dieuleveult. He wants to have her shot as a grave robber on the spot. However, she manages to escape with the sarcophagus .

In Paris the pterodactyl finds Professor Esperandieu. There is a telepathic connection between the scientist and the creature ; what the dinosaur feels, Esperandieu also feels. Inspector Caponi and his officers want to ask the scientist for help in solving the case. When the pterodactyl appears, they arrest the professor as a "conspirator" while the animal flees through the window.

When Adèle arrives in Paris with Patmosis' sarcophagus, she discovers the headline: “Esperandieu Sentenced to Death!” She puts the mummy in a showcase in her living room. Adèle has the plan to bring her sister Agathe back to life. Five years earlier she fell on her hatpin while playing tennis and has been in a kind of coma ever since. Adèle wants to use the healing arts of Patmosis, for which she first has to revive him with the help of Esperandieu.

During the hunt for the dinosaur, the French President has called on the big game hunter Saint Hubert to help. The young biologist Andrej Zborowski, who adores Adèle, lures the pterodactyl with the shell of the dinosaur egg in the park of the museum. Meanwhile, Adèle tries to free her mentor Esperandieu from prison. Finally she speaks to the President so that he pardon Esperandieu. This conversation is interrupted by the pterodactyl, who flies away with the President's dog. Adèle finds him in the park after reading about Zborowski's plan in one of Zborowski's numerous letters. Riding the dinosaur, she saves Esperandieu from the guillotine and lands with him in the park.

During his patrol , Saint Hubert discovered the pterodactyl's hiding place and shot the dinosaur in the chest. Esperandieu is also seriously injured by the spiritual connection with the dinosaur. In Adèle's apartment, Esperandieu manages to awaken Patmosis, but succumbs to his injury. However, Patmosis is an engineer, not a doctor. However, Esperandieu also revived all of the mummies in the area. Adèle finds the resurrected Ramses II and his personal physician in an exhibition in the Louvre . This is how her sister can ultimately be resuscitated. Towards the end of the film, Adèle goes on vacation with the Titanic .

criticism

According to Cinema , Luc Besson burned "a real firework of spectacular trick effects and stylish tracking shots that unfold additional fascination in front of the breathtakingly reconstructed historical backdrop of the early 20th century." However, adding "high point to high point" adds "no real suspense" this “family film peppered with child-friendly humor and bizarre joke characters”. Louise Bourgoin compensated for this and played “the equally graceful and stubborn heroine with so much esprit that one hopes to see her again soon”. Cinema's conclusion was: "Dramaturgical piecework, but that inspires with a spectacular look and a brilliantly playing protagonist."

Awards

At the 2011 César Awards , the film won the award in the Best Production Design category and was also nominated for Best Costumes .
