Just like all the other releases this summer, I decided to get familiar with the Night at the Museum characters by watching the original on Blu Ray along with a cool trivia track that ran throughout. This movie is just plain fun but loses it's focus towards the end to make it a more familiar plot for audiences to accept. Ben Stiller is great here as the stumbling divorced dad who needs to win his son's love back by fighting all the exhibits that come to life at night. The special fx are great and the trivia track was cool to learn all about the history of the actors, production team as well as all the historical figures that appear. Even Alan Silvestri's score was refreshingly different from what he did in Long Kiss Goodnight earlier today and I liked all the high profile actors that show up to give a randomness and energy to these one sides characters. The subplot of Sacajawea is a little out of context as I think it could have focused more on Ben Stiller's love life but in the end this movie is harmless adventure that moves quickly with a variety of set pieces and gags that work in the context they're given. Overall, I actually enjoyed this trivia track and gorgeous look of the Blu Ray more than I thought I would after all this time and look forward to the new sequel in IMAX.
