The arrival of the film on DVD is a disappointment, entirely due to the video. This is a fuzzy transfer, filled with heavy grain and lacking in any noticeable detail. The entire picture looks washed out, and this isn't helped by light black levels. It's a fun movie to watch, just not on this DVD.

In the audio department, there's a distinct lack of bass to be found. Guns are quiet and lack the punch they should carry with them. On the other hand, the surround channels carry some stunning positional audio. Action sequences can be followed simply by listening.

Extras are wonderfully put together, including a nice look at the video game and the phenomenon it became. There are some rare early looks at the original concepts for the character in Are You Game?, which wasn't even female. A few more minutes spend here would have been appreciated. Eight minutes is hardly enough to get the full story.

A solo commentary by the director sounds empty. Anyone from the crew could have helped this along, and possibly added more detail from a different perspective. Crafting Lara is a better choice than the commentary, focusing on what Jolie needed to do in order to get in shape for the role.

Four deleted scenes would have only added to some of the rough downtime the movie suffers from and were wise cuts. Stunts of Tomb Raider is self-explanatory. Eight sequences are profiled in Visual Effects of Tomb Raider, mostly dealing with CGI.

An alternate title sequence was an interesting idea, and the title reveal was a huge success. However, it does feel overdone. A U2 music video also included on the disc features some of the footage from that unused opening. Finally, Digging into Tomb Raider is the main documentary covering all aspects of the film and the video games. Some of the content can be found in other portions of the disc though, shortening the running time from 18 to around 15 minutes total.

The large box office sum prompted a sequel in 2003 which failed to rake in the expected numbers. Jolie was quoted that she was done playing the character. Small rumors began popping up stating a third film was in the works without her, though those never came through leaving this a two part affair.
