Advantages: Great Action, Amazing visuals

Disadvantages: Ben Stiller plays the same Character in most films

Night at the Museum is an excellent action comedy, and like many Hollywood family blockbusters, the main character is a struggling father Larry Daley played by Ben Stiller who is tying to do his best and get a job. Larry has a passion for inventing, but this does not bring enough cash in to pay the bills and this along with the need to keep his appartment and access to his son, leads him to look for a regular job. He gets a seemingly simple job as night watchman in the city museum. The museum did have three old nigh twatchmen who were getting too old to perfom the role and Larry steps in to fill their shoes. The job seems normal enough, but when taking the position Larry was not told a vital peice of information that everynight all the exhibits come to life. This leads to dinosaurs running around, past presidents coming to life, model cowboys, Romans and Incas having battles on the Museum Floor.
Without spoiling the plot, there is a great twist to the movie, which then steps up the pace a little, adding to the action packed crescendo.
The visuals in this film are amazing, great special effects that remond me a lot of Jumanji and Jurassic Park there are some wonderfully funny scenes and an all star cast who really bring the script to life. Great all round family film for adults and children alike.

The disc has some nice looking Menus, and great extras including a look at how the effects were created.

Summary: Great Action Comedy - a good watch
