Video-5 (The picture quality is excellent, but on my player, if paused for more than 5 minutes, the movie has to be started over.)
Audio-3 (It sounded very good when the sound was on, but....on my Samsung BDP 1400 I had four or five audio drop outs where I had to pause and restart the movie to regain sound. Very annoying. Maybe the player, maybe the movie.)
On all the other Blu Ray movies I have watched, non had to be restarted after pausing over 5 minutes, nor did any sound keep glitching up, so this movie may present problems particular to itself.
Story-3

This movie is about Nicholas Cage (Gates) trying to clear his ancestor's reputation when it is revealed that he possibly was part of the conspiracy to kill President Lincoln.

If you saw the original National Treasure, you know Cage is some sort of master puzzle solver who can figure out cryptic notes, pictures, etc. So in this movie, he enlists the same crew in clearing his family's name. And they all run around like people on speed deciphering hidden secrets in highly secure locations accessible only to CIA types and them, ofcourse.

The whole movie is just a comic book come to life. Silly, impossible, supposedly humorous, etc. Kind of like a poor man's Indiana Jones.

If you are a kid at heart, or a real kid, you might enjoy this movie. If you like comic books, you'll like it too. If for any reason you want to take a movie seriously, don't get this one.

But for a two hour escape from reality, it's OK. Nothing great.
