11 Giant Plot-Holes You Didn’t Notice In 2017’s Biggest Movies

7. Ahmanet Is Omniscent...But Only When It's Useful - The Mummy

The Mummy
Universal

When the movie's titular antagonist, Princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella), uses her mysterious supernatural powers to crash the plane containing herself and most of the film's principal characters, she manages to crash it in London, where the precious Dagger of Set is located.

This implies that Ahmanet has prescient powers, as she could home in on the dagger, and presumably also the ruby, even though they clearly didn't travel to London until many years after her death.

Why, then, when she tries to stab Nick (Tom Cruise) with the dagger later on, is she surprised to find the ruby missing? Her homing capabilities should've made this abundantly clear, but "because plot", it was conveniently forgotten. Lame.
