First off the picture is cool minus the motion blur. Second the audio was cool until some of the action scenes and then it was too loud. I had to keep adjusting the audio. Other than that, the movie was ok. Definitely not the best of the summer.

Video = 7 b/c ive seen better and don't care about a slight angle
Audio = 6 b/c of the loud and low sections.
Movie = 5 b/c it just wasn't good enough for a 5.1

After watching the entire movie all the way through, i would like to revise what i said about it was skipping around the first cd. There seems to be a bright section right in the middle of the scene that turns completely white whenevery they are around somethign bright or ourside. It isn't that annoying but enough to irritate you and cause you not to see some things in the movie. Also the colors are quite dull, but the angle was not noticable. The cropping was a bit outrageous since all of the subtitles were at teh very very bottom of what we could see. If they could keep the no angle they got on this one and the color from some of the past releases it would be good. The sound is no where near as good as the sound from the matrix reloaded, but of course this was only on 2 cds. Once you turn the volume up a little bit it sounds a little bit tinny but it isn't horrible at all. Overall, these are very good for a telesync, and I am sorry to be so picky, but hey, what the heck. Good Luck with future realeases Centropy.

This has to be a step down for ctp. the color is definitely not
present and in high motion seems to be jittery, audio is good as
usual.

Looked dodgy on the pc, so wasnt expecting much, but when played on the TV it's brilliant. I hope all CTP releases are like this one.

Picture is ok, good to see centropy don't mess around with the camera in film, and the the subtitles arn't cropped. Picture quality is about the same as normal.

Sound quality is same as ever.

Very good quality. The only problem I had was that the audio was slightly messed - the music was very loud when there was no dialogue, and when there was dialogue it was quiet. I kept having to adjust the volume throughout the movie to balance between music scenes and dialogue.

Overall it was 7/8/6

Having watched almost the entire first CD I think my evaluation will be fair
When I rate I usually don't consider past releases of the group nor do I consider other releases from other groups of the same material, instead I compare the release to what you would see from a VHS source material such as renting the product.

Video= 7 (no noticable angle or at least not one I could see, Colors are a little on the dull side, I did not see any major motion blur nor did I see any oversaturation of any one color(red,blue,green hues), Over all a nice job on the video.

Sound=7.8 (I felt the sound was ok, there was no hollowing or distorting when playing from a television, no hissing or buzzing and it was clear and not muffled)

Movie= I dont bother giving my opinion since everyone has their own

I cant see how anyone could give this thing more than a 6
on video. I must of got a bogus rip of this movie ?

Anyways this was a pal converted to ntsc judging by the jerky
motion in this 25 frames per sec to > 29.97 frames per sec.
conversion.

Wonder where they pulled the other 5 frames from ? <out of
there a$$>

Had to re-encode this to 23.97 frames inverse telecine
and added 3:2 pulldown and non interlaced it.
Smoothed it right out.

Man and talk about the polarizing in both of there latest
releases. Have they ever here of a non polarizing lens filter?
Hell just throw a pair of sunglasses in front of the lens.sure
it will leave the video darker but thats why we have brightness
controls. At least the glare would be gone.

the vid quality is not the best (bit grainy as stated) but ty ctp for the release.. much appreciated! 7/7/8 love jolie

Great colors. Of course a little grainy at certain points but its not really noticable. I didnt notice any motion blurs either really. It looked good on the tv.
Sound was almost perfect. A little hollow but good.
The movie sucked ass, a few good action scenes but nothing good enough to get excited about. It could have been much better in my opinion.

bleh, Angelina was looking good

8.5/8.5/5

I really liked the picture. The color was pretty close to being just right and not over saturated like so many other CTP releases. Audio was good but was too high and low in some spots. My audio system was going a little crazy playing it. Movie - bleh. I've seen much worse movies but it seemed like it had no point/plot for the 1st 10 minutes. Angela Jolie looked DAMN good in this one and I've not even an Angela Jolie fan.

9/7/7 for a so so moive with a super hot actress running around in a 2 piece swimsuit and a skin tight wet suit. That makes it at least a 7 to me.

Here are my thoughts on this release:

8/9/6

Picture: Excellent, as good as you can expect a TS to be. The picture is colourful and very watchable. The picture goes a little dark for about 30 secs in disc 2 (when Lara goes to Africa) - but it doesn't last long enough to irritate.

Sound: Flawless. The sound is crisp and clear throughout the movie.

Movie: This movie isn't THAT bad. This, like the previous Tomb Raider movie is a mixture of Indiana Jones and James Bond - but it never reaches the standard of either of those frachises, instead this is a watered down version of them. The Lara Croft character is played excellently by Jolie once again (Beautiful and deadly). In some ways, character wise, this is a better Lara Croft movie because we get to view her in a new light - She shows a vunerable side which has never been seen before. Another reason to watch - This is the second best eye candy movie this Summer (first being Charlies Angels II). Oh, and did I mention that Jolie was beautiful? Oh, I did?......Sorry.

I'm no expert, and since I have limited resources I normally stick with the CTP release. I'm not praising them, but on average they offer the better more consistant releases.

The video on this one is a little bright in the center while darker on the edges, but it's still watchable. The sound is good as per norm with CTP. The movie itself was good for what it was, not an epic but good none the less. New stunts, some good effects gives it a good rating in my books.

7.5/8/7.5

Worth the watch.
