lara croft tomb raider the cradle of life | Year: 2003 Classification: Action/Adventure Directed: - Jan de Bont Actors/Actresses: - Angelina Jolie - Gerard Butler - Chris Barrie Rehash the Hash. Let's face it, LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER: THE CRADLE OF LIFE is an improvement over is predecessor. The story flows together better and actually makes sense. The action sequences are more exciting and Lare Croft seems more like a real person. Nevertheless, THE CRADLE OF LIFE isn't much of a movie. The story revolves around the mythological Pandora's Box which as we learn in the film, is an actual artifact supposedly containing a biological/genetic disease that could wipe out most of the world's population. A criminal manufacture of such diseases wants the box so he can wipe out the cesspool of humanity and begin again. It's upon to Lara Croft to stop him. The movie is full of cliches and if you've never played any of the video games, it doesn't offer much except Angelina Jolie and one really awesome skyscraper-diving scene. The film jumps around from one location to the next and Lara's former boyfriend is more of a drag than anything else. Overall, if you're not a Lara Croft or Jolie fan, I wouldn't waste your time watching this rehash. LCTR The Cradle of Life - An enormously entertaining film! While most seem to be either a real big fan of the Lara Croft Tomb Raider movies or someone who despises them, I'll take up the role of a big fan. Just as in the first movie, Angelina Jolie's rendition of Lara Croft is absolutely wonderful. This second film, in what is undoubtedly going to be many, is another great action flick that is enjoyable entertainment from the beginning to the end. While I only have a vague, passing familiarity with the video games, I can say, without a doubt, that this and the first movie make an enormously enjoyable leap from the pc screen to the silver screen. Angelina Jolie's performance as Lara Croft, to include her impeccable British accent, is nothing less than stunning. I find it absolutely wonderful to see such a beautiful and agile actress take on the "James Bond" type role and handle it with such seeming ease. While these films won't win her any Oscars, they will indelibly mark her among the tops in action film stars. Gerard Butler's performance as Terry Sheridan makes another great performance by him after his leading role in "Attila." Director, Jan de Bont deserves a great amount of praise for his direction of this box office smash, something of which he's quite familiar with having other directing credits to include "Speed" and "Twister." The score for this film greatly enhances the entire theatrical experience of the film. The Premise: Tomb Raider, Lara Croft finds herself on another mission to the save the world as she discovers an orb, which is the map to the Pandora's Box. Unfortunately for her, another tomb raider shows up when she discovers it and steals it from her, nearly killing her in the process. This other tomb raider happens to be working for Dr. Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds) who happens to be the worlds leading manufacturer of biological weapons. Lara is soon visited by the British secret service, MI-6 and she finds herself on a mission to save the world, sanctioned by the Queen herself. All she needs now is a little help from an old "friend" in Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), who happens to be a former SAS Major, turned mercenary and who is now stuck in a Russian prison. The British government agrees to secure his freedom to help her. What follows from there is nothing less than another outstanding Lara Croft Tomb Raider action film that is highly enjoyable and I most certainly look forward to future endeavors in this film series. {ssintrepid} Special Features: - Commentary by director Jan de Bont<BR>- Deleted/Alternate scenes<BR>- Featurettes:<BR>*Training<BR>*Vehicles and Weapons<BR>*Stunts<BR>*Visual Effects<BR>*Scoring<BR>- Gerard Butler's Screen Test<BR>-Music Videos:<BR>*Korn "Did My Time"<BR>*The Davey Brothers "Heart Go Faster"<BR>-Original Theatrical Web Site Archive The best tombraider movie hits the best in dvd I love this movie, and it's better than the first.
