I don't think it's a rip-off of Tomb Raider. It's more like Indiana Jones. Sydney and her assistant, Nigel, go searching for artifacts and such. The one 'rip-off' would be that Sydney is a Teacher at a University. But other than that, the show plots are pretty original. [There's nothing really NEW that ever comes out anymore. Almost ALL the ideas have been used. This is a pretty good re-make, if you wanna call it that.] It's very interesting and the action scenes are pretty good. Good Show.

This is a very original and sound movie. The plot flows extremely smoothly and isn't predictable [at one spot I predicted, but I have a knack for it]. The performances of Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas are stunning. It is a bit eerie and the fact that the story is true, only makes it more so. It is also somewhat disturbing seeing the lions devour humans, but it makes a point about evil working here. There is definately an element of it and the movie suggests several times that perhaps the lions aren't real, but are evil "Spirits". There is also somewhat of a battle between the men and lions and who will win in the struggle to survive. It can remind you just how powerful nature is.

Overall, this was a extraordinary movie. Unlike many movies, it was original, not a carbon copy, and nearly flawless. The special effects were stunning. The acting and cinematography were superb as well. The plot was undeniably smooth. Definately one of my personal favorites.
