Tomb Raider Boxset [4K Ultra-HD and BD] [Blu-ray]

Execellent

1st dvd supplied had a glitch but seller sent a replacement quickly and alls fine so now happy.

Totally love these films, both from start to finish. I don't understand the poor ratings these films get when you see them in viewing schedules. It seems like they are being picked on because they are from a game franchise. (As if gaming is somehow a negative thing.) I don't know though. I love the mysticism of them both. The planetary alignment imagery in the first film, was beautiful. For me, both films were full of gems. Angelina Jolie did great job, and her supporting casts made top-notch performances. (Like her tech dude, her suited butler, and Gerard Butler and the east Asian cast in the second film.) I loved the model solar system at the end of the first film. People seemed to think that was weird, and too far fetched. Not me, I could not get enough. Then that triangle made of non-earth metal, and time manipulation. Anon, anon, I could go on, but both films were gems to me.

This is a review for the PAL UK DVD set (not the Blu-ray). This is a cheap twin DVD standard resolution set of two excellent adventure movies. OK, I loved the first movie and was familiar with Tomb Raider games. I didn't really worry about the loose plot and stately home scenes, after all the movie was a recreation of a young adults PC game and not an adaptation of Shakespeare, and it had to stay firmly with its roots. I wasn't quite sure about the casting of Christopher Barrie as Laura Croft's butler (as he's a bit young to have known Laura's dad, Lord Richard Croft, that well), but in fact he's an asset in both movies. Although many disliked the original Tomb Raider movie and it did not fare well critically, Tomb Raider [2001] was a commercial success, and it held the world record for the highest grossing movie of it's type (game inspired) until that was taken by Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time in 2010. Personally I was bowled over by the TombRaider sequel 'The Cradle of Life' [2003] and I was surprised it was badly received in some quarters - in fact this sets worth a fiver just to see Angelina Jolie in that wet suit one more time (when I first saw the movie with my kids I joked 'your mother looked like that when she was younger'). The Cradle of life is fast paced with some incredible action sequences, and although the final scenes perhaps fall a little flat, the path to them is certainly worth viewing more than once. This DVD set has quite a few extras: TombRaider: 'Digging into Tomb raider [cast/production team interviews], Crafting Laura Croft [fitness training for Angelina Jolie], Stunts and Visual Effects of TombRaider, Are you Game [looking at the PC game that inspired the film], Simon West's commentary, 4 deleted scenes, Alternative title sequence, U2 music video 'Elevation', plus DVD features 'TombRaider time-line, TR Chronicles game demo, and 'web site and online access experience'. Our DVD is English audio Dolby 5.1 only, with English HOH subtitles and English commentary subtitles only. Rated 12 and 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, run time 96 minutes. The second DVD 'TombRaider 2: The Cradle of life' has similar extras: Commentary by director John de Bont, deleted scenes [with John De Bon commentary], Training, vehicles, weapons, stunts and effects documentary, The Davey brother 'heart goes faster' music video, original theatrical web site archive. Our DVD is English and Czech audio Dolby 5.1, with English HOH subtitles and English, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian and Swedish subtitles. Rated 12 and 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen, run time 113 minutes. Both DVDs are Pal[2]UK region locked. Picture quality and sound is fine on a standard TV - for hi-def there's always the expensive Tomb Raider/Cradle Of Life Blu-ray double set.

I had seen both of these film's some years ago and enjoyed them very much, along with my Gran son. On seeing them at such a good price I could not miss the chance of seeing them again. Angelina is just superb in both films,My Gran Son and I enjoyed them both once again. John

Great entertainment.

Caught both of these movies one time or another on any given channel. Not really a computer game player, my first and only attempt at Tomb Raider and I couldn't get out of the pavilion! For me both movies are purely escapism and that's why I enjoyed them so much. Whilst Lara is feisty and brave, she is also sensitive and loyal. If I had one tenth of the gumption of the character I would indeed be a very happy lady. Pure fun and enjoyable story lines, proud to be the owner of the set.

Not a bad film have seen better it was cheap at the time of purchase .Not as good as the game, now that is very good and worth buying great entertainment

Had the first and needed/wanted the 2nd one. I liked it enough to buy it.

I film di Tomb Raider interpretati dalla grande Angelina Jolie sono purtroppo due esempi di come spesso il cinema prenda sotto gamba la trasposizione dei videogiochi, ottenendo così dei risultati qualche volta non all'altezza del prodotto originale. Pur non essendo comunque dei pessimi film, questi adattamenti cinematografici non corrispondono pienamente all'esperienza di gioco offerta dal grande brand Tomb Raider. Attenzione: entrambi i film sono in Inglese e l'audio in Italiano manca.

Bon film

Cool

久しぶりにアンジーの トゥームレイダー を見たいと思い購入。 国内版が売られていないから仕方なく海外版購入。 1 と 2 の 2枚組 で共に国内プレーヤーで再生可能。 やっぱり Blu-ray 画質は良いね。 コロナのせいもあって、予定より1週間遅れて。 届くまでのワクワク感、久しぶりに味わいました。
