This is another big-budget movie, produced by Fox, so it has a strong commercial flavor. Hollywood has long been accustomed to attracting attention with huge investments, stars and stunts, and this film is no exception: all the creatures in an ordinary museum at night will be reborn, huge dinosaur skeletons, lions, little monkeys, life-sized historical figures, There are also many miniature characters. When these creatures from different time and space appear on the screen at the same time, the impact on the audience can be imagined, which is the biggest selling point of the film.
However, through this gorgeous surface, we can still see some human touches from the film. The protagonist of the film, Larry, became the night guard of this museum mainly for his son, who wanted to give his son a stable environment, and he did not want to disappoint his son. This deep affection is very touching. As the plot unfolds, Larry's job at the museum runs into a lot of trouble, even in danger of being fired. He also thought about giving up, but both times because of his son, he persevered, and of course, there was also the help of the wax figure "Roosevelt". On the last night of the film, Larry wanted to show his son his work, and at the same time wanted to surprise his son, but unexpectedly, the golden plate document was stolen. In the process of organizing everyone to solve the problem, the greatness and perseverance he showed cannot be said to have nothing to do with the presence of his son, who gave him courage. So I say, under those gorgeous appearances, family affection is the core of this film. When Roosevelt said to Larry's son, "Your father is a great man, it should be Larry's happiest moment."
There is nothing too novel about the plot of the film, and it ends with a happy victory of justice over evil. Some people may think it is cliché, but it caters to the psychology of most people, and it is understandable.
Overall, this film is worth watching, because it moved and shocked me a lot in addition to laughter.
