The Computer Game movies

For something different last weekend, I went to see Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy at the huge Hoyts Village Greater Union complex on George St in Sydney. Angelina Jolie is sexy, sensational, and fun as Lara Croft in Tomb Raider. This movie is an absolute hoot. All the guys exit the cinema raving about Angelina Jolie, and all the girls come out saying "I want to be Lara Croft".

The fully computer animated Final Fantasy is very impressive. The story line is pretty pathetic, but the quality of the animation is incredible - better than anything I've ever seen. It's not quite lifelike (a few more years yet methinks), but you can tell how much effort has gone into the production. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
