Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb - Film review

An entertaining adventure at the Museum

Rating: ****


A special SFX show showcasing with live acts from the museum exhibits including Theodore Roosevelt, Attila the Hun, Sacagawea, Dexter the Capuchin Monkey, and Rexy the Tyrannosaurus skeleton.

Suddenly things go out of control and guests scamper around to save themselves from the havoc created by malfunctioning of the SFX.

The fact is that the museum exhibits come to life during nights and in the process of following their rehearsed act, everyone runs amok. The reason being the gradual corrosion of the magic tablet. It comes to light that if this tablet of Ahkmenrah corrodes completely, then the museum exhibits would never come to life at nights, like it is been happening till now.
