‘Night at the Musuem – Battle of the Smithsonian’ is reawakened on Region A locked Blu-ray with a fine 1080p AVC/MPEG-4 transfer, framed handsomely in the widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio. Particularly pleasing are the vibrant, solid colours of the museum interiors together with good looking skin tones. The image is both sharp and dimensional with lots of detail on display.
The DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack affords us the pleasure of rocket engines starting up, planes flying around and shattering glass in a very clear mix where dialogue remains clear despite the action and Alan Silvestri’s lively score.
A Pharaoh’s treasure trove of shorts, featurettes and out-takes combine with the bonus DVD and Digital Copy to provide a well rounded package that will be appearing in many a Christmas stocking.
The movie itself is good fun and expands the action from the original movie to a wider range of characters and events. Nothing too taxing for the old grey matter here with the focus on the spectacle – and Amy Adams’ particularly cute caboose.
