Description

LARA CROFT (Jolie) is back in action and faces her most perilous mission: to recover what ancient civilisation 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 Hinds) whose plan is to use it for mass annihilation. For this adventure, Lara recruits her ex-lover – 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 breath-taking sky-diving escapes to try to save the ancient artifact… and mankind’s future. Special Features: Commentary With Jan de Bont Review: 'HELLO BOYS' - A FUN-PACKED ACTION ADVENTURE (SUPERB 4K UPGRADE) - This film remains perhaps among my favourite 'Fun-Packed-Action' adventures, now available on the 4K format, so glad I invested in it, the picture quality is sharp, vibrant, and frankly stunning, was like in many ways watching the film for the first time and yet, on Blu-ray I have indeed watched the movie a few times certainly. Of course, having Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft to watch is a bonus. The film starts at a pace, as, after an earthquake, a temple built by Alexander the Great becomes accessible after many years cut off by the sea On Santorini island, Greece. Lara and her team investigate the 'Luna Temple' finding it to house many treasures including a glowing orb which it is reputed unlocks the whereabouts of the legendary some believe mythical ' Pandora's Box' However, the orb is snatched from Lara's grasp by a group that has followed her and her team to the location, her team and several of the following group die, Lara escapes. Lara insists on having former friend and perhaps lover Terry Sheridan (Gerard Butler) released from imprisonment to help her track down the orb. She'll never entirely trust him but he will prove a useful ally, however, there is competition in the search for the orb and the secrets it holds Jonathan Reiss (Ciarán Hinds ) a ruthless criminal with the misuse of 'Pandora's Box' and its power if discovered. Reiss manages to get hold of the orb and gets pretty close to unlocking its secrets, however, Lara and Terry are close by. With the help of friend and associate Bryce (Noah Taylor) a high-tech computer whiz Lara learns of the location of the legendary cradle of life where the box is. She heads to Kilimanjaro without Terry who she felt should have killed Reiss when he clearly had the opportunity to do and with help persuades the tribesmen guarding the sacred site to show her the way. However, Reiss and his henchmen are not far behind, fortunately neither is Terry who has been able to discover where Lara had gone. With legendary creatures guarding the way, Lara accompanied by Reiss finds her way into the maze which is the cradle of life and where the box has laid safe for many a century. Lara knows the box must not fall into Reiss's hands and should never be opened, however, Reiss has other ideas, fortunately for Lara, Terry has also found his way into the complex but, after helping her will show his true intent. Will Lara escape the complex and leave Pandora's Box where it belongs? A superb action-packed adventure, certainly worth another viewing especially i Review: Good - Good
