One of the core parts of the 2013 reboot was not just the character but a real attempt to do a better job with the story, and while they have brought the character over, the story didn’t quite get there. I am not saying the story is bad per se, but just that it is really paint by numbers. Out of all the big plot reveals, there was probably only one that I felt was actually really inventive, rather than something I have seen time and time again. The film is filled with cliché’s, like ‘oh a guy is sick he just needs a rest, nope I am going to kill him to show what a bad guy I am’. The unfortunate thing is while they have really worked really hard on the character of Lara and her motivations, they don’t actually give her a great story to really show off the character. This dynamic really helps set up the world, and Lara’s place in it and has a similar feel to say, Casino Royal.
It also helps that this is an origin film as such because it presents a different Lara than what we have seen already in the Angelina Jolie films. This is all helped by the fact that Alicia Vikander throws everything she has into the film and who is supported by some excellent costuming, make-up design, and choreography that all goes together to really create a memorable character.
#TOMB RAIDER 2018 SERIES#
Right from the start, it is clear that Tomb takes a lot of its inspiration from the 2013 game reboot than the original 1996 series and that was I think the best way to approach the game. But joke because instead of doing that Lara finds a clue that leads her to her father’s secret room where he tells her to burn all the files on Yamatai … and Lara does the complete opposite.Īlicia Vikander is giving everything to this role. One of her father’s closest advisers Anna (Kristin Scott Thomas) bails her out and convinces her to finally sign the papers declaring her father dead.
Seven years later, Lara lives in a rundown flat taking courier jobs to survive, when one day she accidentally runs into a police car. Then one day he never came home from one of his trips, and Lara’s life was never the same. Lord Richard Croft (Dominic West) lost his wife and searched high and low for some glimpse into the supernatural. So to set the scene, Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander) had the normal childhood upbringing, well normal for being the daughter to one of the richest men in the world. So today we have our first major attempt in a while to cross that divide … and it almost gets there. and close-but-no-cigar films like Warcraft. In this battle, we have had disasters like Super Mario Bros. While comic book films like The Avengers and unfilmable literary epics like Lord of the Rings have found their feet, video game adaptations have remained just out of reach for the industry.
