There is no mistaking it. We have a big
time action flick here. While the plot is far-fetched, it is expected
as such and manages to capture a video game feel. One gets the feeling
the story is just filler for the action. Speaking of which, the action
sequences are original, exciting and set in interesting environments.
Angelina Jolie fits perfectly into the title role. The only element
suspect here would be the visual effects. They just don't feel on par
with those from other big budget movies. That said, they are still
good and are quite passable.
There are plenty of extras here, including an entertaining look at the
physical training Jolie undergoes for this role and also a good
featurette on the stunts done in the film. Other extras include cast
interviews, a few deleted scenes, 8 visual effects explanations, a
music video, a look at the Tomb Raider phenomenon and a look at an
alternate title sequence. Director Simon West also provides a decent
commentary giving the fan some nice bits of behind-the-scenes
information.
If you can look past the plot you will enjoy this movie for what it is
- fun.
