![]() I love those films as well and still believe Jolie was one of the best choices to star as Lara Craft. The same can be said when the game was adapted into a live action film starring Angelina Jolie. Growing up I was a fan of the Tomb Raider video game, and even though I 100% sucked at it, I still appreciated a strong female character kicking ass and taking names. Whether that be the fantastical worlds derived from the Marvel/DC Universe, or films like Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, this genre is one, when done right, that can be really exciting and fun to watch. I enjoy action-adventure movies just as much as the next person. With this newfound knowledge, she leaves everything she knows behind and goes against her father’s wishes in search of the truth in his disappearance, leading her to the last-known location of her father’s expeditation: a mythical island off the coast of Japan which may house a dangerous spirit that could destroy the world. Upon receiving a unique but recognizable puzzle box, she soon learns that her father was much more than a businessman. Working as a bike courier with no real focus or purpose, she finds herself at a crossroads which forces her to deal with her father’s disappearance as well as his global empire. TOMB RAIDER tells the story of Lara Croft (Vikander), a fiercely independent woman who, despite having a substantial inheritance, lives a rather meager life and refuses to admit that her adventure-seeking father, who disappeared seven years earlier, is dead. The film stars Alicia Vikander ( Ex Machina) as Lara Croft, along with Dominic West (“The Wire”), Walton Goggins (“Justified”), Daniel Wu (“Into the Badlands”), and Kristin Scott Thomas ( Darkest Hour). Instead it shows how she rises to become the Lara Croft we all have come to love and respect while still showing a vulnerability in her ever increasing strength and badassery. It’s a film that doesn’t undermine the character of Croft with overly revealing outfits, mansplaining, or useless romantic interludes. TOMB RAIDER, the lastest film from Roar Uthaug ( The Wave), is an action-packed adventure that shows both Lara Croft’s fierce determination, strength, and heart.
