Lara Croft, an archaeologist discovers an orb that serves as a map which points out the location of the Pandora's Box. The box, if opened, will result in devastating effect that may destroy the world. A scientist Johnathan Reiss is after the box as well, but for the wrong reason. After snatching the orb from Lara, he wants to make a fortune out of it. Lara is given the task to nail him down and get back the orb.

Tomb Raider is my favourite game but the movie is nothing near. They try to put everything in this movie but in the end, nothing is done right. The only thing they got right is to choose Angelina Jolie as the lead. She fits the character perfectly, she has the strong, sexy and smart look that Lara Croft should have. A few Hong Kong actors were casted in this movie, the most familiar to Asians should be Simon Yam, although he only appeared for awhile.

I give Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life 5.8 upon 10.
