Tomb Raider: There is a tomb ... erh ... and it gets raided

This is a video adaptation, an action adventure origin story. There are thrilling action sequences, a twist on a car chase but on bikes at the beginning, a ship wreck, an escape down some rapids sequence, it's pretty tense in places.


Unfortunately the plot is a little lame and the dialogue is pretty poor, although it's probably perfect for the intended 12 year old audience.



Alicia Vikander was the best thing about the film, she carries it throughout, almost all my 6/10 grade is for her contribution. I know the Lara Croft character normally carries 2 enormous guns and by golly we see them in the final sequence.



I'm NOT a computer games geek, so I can't be sure if it's an accurate interpretation of the computer game it originates from. However, I can be sure there is a tomb and it gets raided in the style of 'Indiana Jones'.



6/10
