Tomb Raider 2018 Movie Review

-Spoiler Warning (movie and the first 2 reboots)-

Who has played the Tomb Raider 2013 game or watched the movie? First of all, the movie is based on the 2013 game and features some things from Rise of the Tomb Raider, the 2nd game of the new gen. I'll be getting the pro aspects out of the way first: What they did really well are all the action scenes and including the bow and axe that Lara uses in the games. She does all the stunts you'd expect, which is really cool. She's climbing an old rusty and fragile plane at some point and has to pull out a piece of wood that pierced her side. Her entire outfit really suits the Lara Croft we got to know in the 2013 game. But the downside of the movie? I personally think there are so many things, starting with Lara's actress - but that in particular is just my personal opinion and taste. Let's do a little recap of the 2013 game: In the 2013 game, there is the island Yamatai that Lara and her crew stranded on after the Endurance got caught up and destroyed in a storm. Lara's friend Sam gets kidnapped by the Solarii cultists, led by Mathias, a guy who also stranded on the island once (like many others) and who realized that Himiko, a Japanese goddess, the Sun Queen, won't let anyone leave (reoccuring theme: "Noone leaves"). Himiko has been choosing priestesses as alleged successors, actually though using their bodies to transfer her soul and power and thus gain immortality. When one of the chosen priestesses resolved to take her life to put an end to Himiko's sinister transfer-rituals, the island got cursed, driven by Himiko's rage, whose body is decaying, unable to die and not alive. Mathias believes when he provides Himiko a priestess to transfer her body, she will allow him to finally leave the island, which is what they plan to do with Sam. Lara unravels this entire story of Himiko and what happened, finding out that noone was able to ever leave the island but died here, and trying to rescue Sam from the Solarii cultists. Ultimately, different enemies are introduced: The Stormguards, protectors and servants of Himiko. Peeking into the 2nd game, ROTTR, there's Ana, Richard Croft's new lover who turns out to be working for Trinity, a military organisation, and who was involved with Lord Croft's death. So what did the movie do? Lara is a boxing and biking tough woman who's never studied or who hasn't got anything to do with archaeology whatsoever. She finds out that her father was into archaeology secretively, but basically trying to stop Trinity from unleashing Himiko's power of death of some sort upon the world. She thinks he's crazy but heads for Yamatai hoping to find her father there. She does that with some simple toy-like thingy she found among her father's records and with no related knowledge. Next problem - Mathias. He's working for Trinity and radios to some outside "contractor" (who turns out to be Ana at the end of the movie). It looks like he could have left the island at any time, as he orders a helicopter to pick him up when he's about to find Himiko's remains, which arrives on the island unscathedly and with no trouble finding the island in the first place (although it's said to be nearly impossible to get there and even more so to leave). Lara's father - he isn't dead - he's really on the island and tried to keep Trinity from getting into Himiko's tomb. Finding her father caused some unnecessary and forced emotional drama. And the Sun Queen? She never used priestesses to gain immortality. First we are led to believe that she got banned because she was an evil goddess, but later in the movie Lara finds out that she committed suicide because she was conductor of a disease that spreads upon touch and wanted to protect the world from herself. Lara only leads Mathias and his thugs into Himiko's tomb where they find her body. Some of his guys touch her, die, touch her father who gets infected and dies too but blows everything up with dynamite, she manages to kill Mathias and leaves the island by taking over the radioed helicopter. It's boring to be honest. The only supernatural aspect is the disease. No Stormguards, no rituals, no Sam, no temples or monasteries, nothing like that. When they enter the tombs, all we get are some (cool) traps and rotten corpses for a few minutes. In the game, the entire island was full of shrines and statues and temples and tombs. It's been a huge disappointment to be honest. They could have done that movie so much better, even though it would have taken them a bit more budget by including CGI-animated Stormguards and more elaborated temples or the monastery, which, in the game, were drowned in blood and corpses. I miss the gore and brutality and sinister vibes of the game. Mixing up so much regarding her father and Mathias and Trinity and Ana is just so messy and doesn't even make sense. Another thing they did well was the ending and how you find out that Ana is connected to Trinity. But that's about it, the plot and every character in there was disappointing to us.

Ich bin ein riesen Fan der ersten Tomb Raider Spiele, ich habe die Spiele auf der PlayStation geliebt ❤ und rauf und runter gespielt. Den neuen Teilen der Serie nach dem letzten Reboot habe ich eigentlich nie eine Chance gegeben. Sie sind zwar seit Release in meiner Sammlung, so wie jedes andere Main Tomb Raider auch, aber gespielt habe ich sie nie. Vielleicht sollte ich das ändern, den Spielen eine Chance geben, mal schauen was die heutige Lara zu bieten hat . 😀 #tombraider #tombraiderreboot #laracroft #games #videogames #videospiele #gamer #zocken #selfie #me #playstation #gamerin #gamergirl #girlgamer #zockerin #zockerweibchen #femalegamer

#Cosplayer @angrybrowscosplay with a stunning shot of her #LaraCroft. #cosplay #tombraider Regrann from @angrybrowscosplay - "A famous explorer once said, that the extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are. I'd finally set out to make my mark; to find adventure. But instead adventure found me. In our darkest moments, when life flashes before us, we find something; Something that keeps us going. Something that pushes us."
