#Tomb raider movie new how to#
So now Lara has to learn how to be the survival badass we all know her to be to save the world. Walton Goggins plays Mathias, leader of Trinity, and he wishes to use the powers of the queen to take over the world. The tribe is looking for the tomb of a queen who was said to have mystical powers. She embarks on a journey to find out what happened to her father with the help of a ship captain (played by Daniel Wu), but unfortunately experiences shipwreck and learns that members of Trinity have taken over the island. The excursion before her father’s disappearance was on a solitude island named Yamatai of the coast of Japan. To her demise, she discovers the truth about her father he was an adventurer who wished to counter an evil organization called Trinity from taking over the world. Several years after the disappearance of her father (portrayed by Dominic West), Lara becomes a delinquent and refuses to take over her father’s estate in the hopes he may come back. This version is also significantly younger than Jolie’s, so young that the adventure we see take place is actually her first outing-her “Batman Begins” so to speak. Not only does she look exactly like Croft, but she displays the strength on hand for the new version without sacrificing the sense of humor, resourcefulness and determination that the original had. Thankfully despite some differences, this new version of Tomb Raider manages to exceed expectations within video game movies.Īlicia Vikander plays Lara Croft, and she is easily the best part of the film. So, when the rumors of a reboot for the franchise came around, I knew the film was going to be more based on the modern games games which turned Lara Croft from treasure-hunting supermodel to a near replica of past hunters like John Rambo or Indiana Jones.

Starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, the film perfectly represented the “Tomb Raider” franchise. 1995’s “Mortal Kombat” and 2016’s “Warcraft” are among those alongside the original “Tomb Raider” from 2001.

Some movies though, are admittedly better than others. Ever since the first film of it’s genre (“Super Mario Bros” 1993), gamers and moviegoers alike have been consistently tortured with the butchery of the ideas Hollywood takes to best adapt these stories made for another medium altogether. Films based on video games are infamous for their near consistent low quality and disregard for the source material they’re based off.
