Profile of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

The mood of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life is stylized, suspenseful, and exciting. The plot centers around a treasure hunt, adventurers, and saving the world. It is an action and fantasy movie. Stylistically, it stars a strong female character. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. The pacing is fast. It is set in Kenya, Greece, and Hong Kong. It is derived from a video game. It is especially suggested for teens and a boys' night. Note that it includes violent content.

Summary of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

Popular video game character Lara Croft returns to the big screen in this sequel to LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER. Intrepid British archaeologist Lara Croft (Angelina Jolie) has made perhaps the most important archaeological discovery in history: an orb that leads to the mythical Pandora's Box. Unfortunately, the orb falls into the hands of Jonathan Reiss (Ciaran Hinds), an evil scientist who deals in killer viruses and hopes to sell the secrets of the box as the ultimate weapon. Recruited by British Intelligence to get the orb back from Reiss, Lara enlists Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler), a British marine turned mercenary--and her former love interest--to help. The two embark on an adventure that spans continents in an attempt to regain the orb. Lara is a walking advertisement for "girl power." She's brilliant, athletic, courageous, and saucy. She flips jet skis, parachutes to safety from tall buildings, dives, rides horses--nothing seems beyond her. Best of all, Lara is one of the good ones--she'll do whatever she must to keep the world safe. Directed by Jan de Bont, this film was shot on location in Greece, Kenya, Hong Kong, England, and Wales.

Croft is one humorless butt-kicker. Excavations in exotic lands have rarely looked so much like items on a to-do list. Full Review

The Hollywood Reporter

Enough goodwill has been built up in the early sections that most viewers will not take offense when the movie abandons its plot and characters. Full Review

Sorry to disagree with the rest, but this was a ripping yarn. I thought the directing and dialogue were weak in the first Lara. This episode emphasized cinematography, editing, and sound effects, along with fun action set pieces. Read and rate it
