Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life [Blu-ray] [2003]

Another great movie at a great price and can never go wrong with Steelbook

The second Lara Croft Tomb Raider movie starring Angelina Jolie is a fantastic sequel based off the wildly popular PlayStation action/adventure game series.

Good blu ray/dvd steelbook @ $9.99. Digital code is 4k UHD on itunes but HD on VUDU. Paramount does not participate in movies anywhere so code redeemed on one retailer does not port to other retailers. Also if you redeem via paramount website it only allows you to redeem on one retailer only, which ever retailer you choose. To redeem the code twice first use the code on itunes by directly going to itunes. once you reddemed on itunes then redeem it on VUDU by directly going on VUDU.com. So its a good purchase if you want a steelbook with 4K code but dont want to spend around $20 on actual 4K blu ray.

I initially wasn't sure how I'd find these TR steelbooks but having them in hand they look great. The solid color backgrounds are bold and the color really pops. The films themselves are alright and your mileage will vary depending on how much you like the games.

This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.

The original Tomb Raider movie on blu ray, re-released in new packaging. The new steel book is pretty stylish and looks great with a full view shot of Angelina Jolie's portrayal of the character on a slick blue background. As for the movie itself, it's been 17 years since the film originally released and going back to re-visit it finds it surprisingly holds up. While video game movies have gotten a bad wrap, and the film isn't perfect, this original outing did a pretty good job of bringing in puzzle solving, Lara's personality and attitude, and tied it together in a decent paced plot. Don't go into it expecting everything to be grounded and logical, but enjoy the ride. Unlike the 2018 film, the original embraced the supernatural aspect of Lara's adventures with planetary alignments and mystical artifacts that can affect time itself.

Another purchase based on obtaining more media versions. Might gift my originals to my nephew, if his mom is ok with that. If you haven't seen this yet, it is worth the time. Gets a little odd at one point if I remember. $8 for the full combo in a steelbook. Blu-ray, dvd, and digital code. Hopefully it is still good to redeem.
