Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score composed by Alan Silvestri to the 2014 film Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb directed by Shawn Levy. It is the third (and final live-action) installment in the Night at the Museum film series, a sequel to Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009), and the final installment in the original trilogy, starring Ben Stiller in the lead role, along withRobin Williams, Owen Wilson, Dan Stevens and Ben Kingsley.[1] Varèse Sarabande released the soundtrack album on January 6, 2015.

Background

Alan Silvestri returned to score the final installment of the trilogy.[2] Like the previous instalments, he conducted the 103-piece orchestra and 18-member choir from the Hollywood Studio Symphony which was orchestrated by Mark Graham. Varèse Sarabande released a soundtrack album of the score on January 6, 2015.[3][4]

Reception

James Southall of Movie Wave called it "a more well-rounded score than either of its predecessors" further continuing, "Silvestri seeming to have more time to develop ideas and allow them to play out satisfyingly."[5] Filmtracks wrote, "It not great music on the whole, but it will exceed your expectations."[6] The Hollywood Reporter called the score "bombastic",[7] Scott Foundas of Variety and John Hazelton of Screen International called the score as "astonishing" and "exciting".[8][9] Daniel Schweiger of Film Music Magazine called it a "thrilling repository [which] show[s] that dust is in danger of settling on Alan Silvestri’s enchanting, and energetic enthusiasm."[10]
