Review of Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) by Ledaumas — 21 Dec 2014
We saw Night at the Museum at the Houston Museum of Natural History in their IMAX theatre. We had the best seats and loved this movie! The special effects were fantastic. I wouldn't be surprised if they get a nomination for set decoration, maybe costumes.
The scenery and location shots were superb. The story was the weakest part of the movie for most people, but not for us. It was silly, sappy and sentimental. Just what we want to escape to instead of reading the latest horrors in the world.
It's about people who have no common interests, no common culture to relate to, and are centuries apart in age and ideals. Yet they mostly get along and care about each other. If only that was real life.
It was bittersweet seeing Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney (died at 93 after a 91 year career in show business). The Movie has a wonderful goodbye scene for Robin as Teddy Roosevelt. The good feelings from the movie made us leave happy with the magical theme of people of all kinds getting along, which of course, is fantasy in real life.
