![]() One of the supporting characters in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is Daniel Craig, who puts on an American accent to play rival archaeologist, Alex West. It’s also fun when revisiting older movies like this and realizing actors were in it that may not have been as popular at the time. That said, I hadn’t seen this movie in, well, decades, so revisiting it now allows me to report that it’s a solid action flick that definitely shows its age in certain areas of production, but as a whole is still a fun watch for fans of Miss. These result in choppy looking movements that just don’t flow with the rest of the action and instead take the viewer out of the moment almost each and every time. There are some distracting directorial decisions to add awkward slow motion bits to some of the action sequences. The 4K is scanned from the original’s 35mm source, and while this leads to some grainier scenes than some may have hoped, none of them are distracting, and it simply adds that filmic feel that some may actually welcome intermixed with the cleaner image. It’s a fine premise, though the story suffers from a lack of depth to the supporting cast, nor any true sense of stakes, as it never feels like the true power of this artefact is explored, and often everything is handed to the protagonist on a silver platter. The movie sees Lara in a race against the Illuminati to hunt down an artefact that allows the person who has it in their possession to control time. The first film, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider is a fun, fairly well-paced popcorn flick that isn’t just a carbon copy of any previous story from the games, and instead just pays homage to them by including puzzle aspects, as well as some of Lara’s signature moves. ![]() She brought everything fans could want to the table, as she really was a Lara Croft brought to life with how the character was designed at the time. The Tomb Raider video game franchise is one of the more iconic gaming series out there, and 20 years ago there was really nobody better to play the dual-wielding archaeologist than Angelina Jolie. de SouzaĪspect Ratio: 2.40:1 HEVC / 2.40:1 HEVC Tom Raider Audio: English: DTS-HD MA 5.1, French Canadian, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian DD 5.1 Cradle of Life Audio: English: 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, French 5.1 Dolby Digital, Spanish 5.It’s been 20 years since Lara Croft: Tomb Raider hit theaters and to celebrate Paramount is packaging together both the original film and its sequel in 4K, along with digital copies of both films. Cooper, Mike Werb / Dean Georgaris, Steven E. Starring: Angelina Jolie, Daniel Craig, Jon Voight, Iain Glen, Gerard Butler, Chris Barrie Both discs are still very nice 4K UHD upgrades, but I'd say this set is for those of us who have the Blu-rays already or just want a cheaper alternative way to get the 4K UHD discs without the obnoxious new cover art (the 4K UHD cover art for the individuals was pretty atrocious) without all the fluff and extras. This 2 film collection pretty much clones the 4K UHD discs from the individual releases and gets rid of the Blu-ray halves of the combo pack (and in doing so gets rid of all special features being that said features are all the legacy features found ON the Blu-ray discs, except for a lone commentary track on the first film). They were Angelina Jolie action vehicles back in a day when Super hero and video game movies weren't exactly very popular (outside of the just introduced Resident Evil franchise). ![]() ![]() Both Tomb Raider films are guilty pleasure flicks for sure. ![]()
