The movie clearly doesn’t look like a lot of current productions and instead retains a latitude of late 90s/early 2000s studio pictures. Much of the movie has a light blue-tint to it along with a pretty heavy grain level. Here, I can tell a nice amount of digital work here from scanning the original 35mm elements to bring the movie up to 2021 high-def standards. I remember the print being projected in a VERY good theatre but because so many prints were made so quickly and also blown-up from a spherical source, the quality was so varied depending on which cinema you saw the movie projected. The movie was shot on 35mm film in the Super 35 format, which was always a challenging format for wide release movies. TOMB RAIDER arrives 20 years later in a fully restored 4k, Dolby Vision transfer that, no joke, looks BETTER to me watching it on a 65” monitor than the soft theatrical print I still remember seeing in a cinema so long ago. I feel like these movies are forgotten now, so it’s pretty great that Paramount has dusted off these two movies for a new 4k release, packaged together as a two-movie set for 4k collectors.

This series has been rebooted a few years ago with Alicia Vikander in the title role, but I really do feel this is Angelina Jolie’s role and really do wish she had a few more cinematic adventures back in the day. I only played a couple of the games but was more interested in the movies thanks to its stunning lead. The TOMB RAIDER movies are based off of a popular video game series and doing these movies were met with varying critical and audience success. What’s also fun about these movies is they both have pre-fame Daniel Craig and Gerard Butler in the respective movies as Lara’s love interest, and both are fun to watch before they both became major movie stars. It’s sequel, THE CRADLE OF LIFE, went into a pure globe-trotting adventure that is a bit more assured thanks to filmmaker Jan De Bont (SPEED, TWISTER) who amps up the fun.
With her traditional double pistols, she is a force not to be messed with. Helmed by action filmmaker Simon West (CON AIR), LCTR was a Summer B-Movie and it still worked largely thanks to a light-hearted storyline along with over-the-top action and pyrotechnics, led by the stunning Angelina Jolie who is a perfect fit to play our hero who is after ancient artifacts and keeping the bad guys away as much as she can. It was already a busy summer at the movies and the Angelina Jolie-starring actioner came, did good business and moved on. …okay, maybe LARA CROFT TOMB RAIDER was not THAT important. Its viewers would forever be changed as a timeless blockbuster took over the world…. It was a pivotal summer in the year of 2001 and a pivotal mass-budget epic was about to be released onto unsuspecting eyeballs.
