I think you've just found yourself a fox. Not only was this spy comedy another big hit. Following the 2-year gap between the first 2 movies, Tomb Raider 3 likely wouldve shot around the same time Jolie was working on Mr. Terry, look, I'll catch up on the payment. In hindsight, Tomb Raider 3 likely wouldnt have hindered Angelina Jolie s meteoric rise, but it still could have impacted her career in a profound way. But her mission will not be an easy one just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad's last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can't understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.
Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father's global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he's truly gone. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. The film strains credulity even for a vid-game fantasy by letting the leading lady recover awfully quickly from bad injuries, but other than that Vikander commands attention and is the element here that makes Tomb Raider sort of watchable.Synopsis: Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. The new film is presumably a sequel to that 2018 project, so its safe to assume. Slim and not tall, she doesn’t cut the figure of a muscled powerhouse, but here she fully embodies physical tenacity and grit, along with absolute determination not to give in or up. With Vikanders return a certainty, its unclear which, if any, of her co-stars from 'Tomb Raider' will join her. When all the one-dimensional supporting characters and familiar action moves fall by the wayside, the one thing left standing is Vikander. (For the record, the 2001 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider pulled in $274.7 million worldwide, while the dreadful 2003 sequel, Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life, fell off dramatically with a $156.5 million global take, making quick work of the franchise’s first incarnation.) Most assured of all, of course, is the safe return of Lara to London, where a sequel will no doubt start if box-office returns for this one warrant it. Here, of course, it’s all entirely fixed and laid out and entirely predictable, with unsurprising fates awaiting all the central characters. This disagreement triggers a final act of videogame-like action inside an extensive cave complex with numerous moving parts, the sort of thing gamers take great pleasure in negotiating. The comic book-worthy dilemma is that Vogel, sensing vast riches and untold powers, is determined to open up the tomb of the evil Queen Himiko, who was buried alive therein 2,000 years before, whereas Croft is convinced that only disaster will result from her disinterment.
The script by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastir Siddons is very much a connect-the-dots affair, unburdened by the need for subtlety, subtext or deep characterization - how many times we hear the father go all soft and call his daughter by her pet name “Sprout” cannot be tabulated. But after a pacy early scene in which courier Lara leads a wild bike chase through East London, the action reverts to the tried-and-true as the narrative focuses once again on tomb raiding, ruthless mercenaries, mad races through the jungle, much hanging from precipices, secret chambers being penetrated and dormant curses being unleashed after two thousand years. Spurred by the successful videogame reboot in 2013, the revival of the brand’s big-screen profile offered the opportunity to sharpen the reborn franchise’s edge, a notion encouraged by the recruitment of Norwegian director Roar Uthang ( The Wave).
#TOMB RAIDER FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
Brandishing impressively packed abs and enough upper body strength to pull herself out of countless jams, Alicia Vikander gamely steps into the kick-ass role twice played by Angelina Jolie, but the derivative story and cardboard supporting characters are straight out of 1930s movie serials. It’s a new package for old goods in Tomb Raider, a grimly determined by-the-numbers rehash of the same sort of plots and action moves that animated the first two Lara Croft films back in the early 2000s.
