About this movie

This Cradle Rocks! - Thelma Adams, US WEEKLY/CNN-AMERICAN MORNING Oscar winner*
Angelina Jolie "is even sexier than in the first Tomb Raider."** Lara Croft (Jolie) is back in
action and faces her most perilous mission: to recover what ancient civilization believed to
be the essence of all evil, Pandora's Box. She must travel the globe, from Greece to Hong Kong
to Kenya and beyond to get to the box before it's found by a maniacal scientist (Ciaran
Hindis) whose plan is to use it for mass annihilation. For this adventure, Lara recruits her
ex-partner - Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler) - a dangerous mercenary who has previously
betrayed Lara and their country. She knows he's the best for the mission, but can she trust
him again? Join her as she races through furious hand-to-hand battles, blazing shoot-outs and
breathtaking sky-diving escapes to try to save the ancient artifact...and mankind's future. *
- 1999 Best Supporting Actress, Girl Interrupted.

I watched this movie at the gym and was so disappointing in only a few categories: the acting, the plot, the cgi and my wasted time. This is a genre that I normally like with action and sci-fi elements...but couldn't remotely get behind this terrible story and attempt to act.

Not all sequels can be as good as the original but this one at least comes close. Angelina Jolie again portraying Lara Croft is iconic and the plot altogether is just exciting and add Gerard Butler and Asia Hook line and winner!

It's a good family movie if you don't have very little ones if you can buy it in a bundle with the other movies
