Thanks to an old puzzle Richard left for her, Lara uncovers a strange enigma and finds the secret basement her father used to secure his research and notes about Himiko. In fact, Richard Croft ( Dominic West) left for a business trip seven years prior and never came back, yet Lara refuses to accept this reality and wants to be faithful thinking he’s alive wherever he went. Signing the papers would officially confirm that her father passed away as everyone believes, putting an end to her hopes of seeing the man again.

The movie follows the same storyline we experience in the game, but begins with an oblivious Lara struggling with her everyday life as she desperately tries to earn money making deliveries and accepting dangerous challenges in town, despite the conspicuous inheritance she may access to which would also prevent the Croft Manor from being sold. What seemed like a simple expedition will prove to be an exhausting battle of survival, forcing Lara to run, fight and climb for days as something dark seems to spread along the Island preventing everyone from leaving. While traveling aboard the Endurance ship, however, Lara and her entourage got hit by a violent storm upon reaching the Dragon’s Triangle and ironically found themselves shipwrecked in the Yamatai Island.

The game is not related to the previous series in any way and begins with a young and inexperienced Lara Croft investigating over the mysterious legend of Himiko, once Queen of Yamatai and blessed by shamanistic powers that enabled her to control the weather. Lara has always been known for her “prominent features”, reason why when the reboot was announced a long time ago, the loyal Miss Croft fans complained about her new “baby” look and lack of curves. I think Miss Croft doesn’t really need an introduction here, especially if you grew up in the ’90s and saw the famous archaeologist switch from the blocky model with triangular breasts (quoting my friend Dana here) to the more advanced 3D design we got in Temple Of Osiris. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it worth it? In this article I will compare a few scenes from the movie and the game itself, thus I highly suggest you to not proceed with the reading if you still intend to watch it (unless you don’t mind getting spoiled). Many are the feedbacks related to this live action and although the majority of comments posted were not exactly reassuring, I usually try to think with my own head and see things for myself before expressing any sort of judgement. As moviegoers will see, she definitely earns it.The new Tomb Raider movie with Alicia Vikander as lead character, inspired by the video game series released in 2013 by Square Enix and developed by Crystal Dynamics, is officially available in our theatres since March 15th. Of course, minor spoilers (but this was in the trailer anyway), but the mid-credits scene has Vikander strapping two guns like her old gaming ancestor.

“The survival theme really became the crucible in which we would forge the heroine.” “We needed to take Lara from the beginning of her story, with big ambitions but without experience, and put her in a situation where she would be forced to grow,” Hughes said. “We wanted the survivor aspect of the new games see how she goes through the ordeal before she becomes the Tomb Raider she’s meant to be.”Ĭreative director of 2013’s Tomb Raider told The Guardian about taking Lara to her beginnings. “We’re making it a new origin story for the big screen,” Uthaug told Inverse. In an interview with Inverse, Uthaug said he was fascinated with the 2013 game as a starting point for Lara to earn her way into being the Tomb Raider everyone remembers.

Ultimately, both reboots tell Lara’s “origin” into the Tomb Raider. Here are all the Easter eggs from the new games that appear in the reboot film. Still, the new games were careful to present a new Lara who doesn’t plunder foreign burial grounds while racking up a body count. Meanwhile, bad guys named Trinity are after the same thing, so of of course there’s fighting and shooting. In that game, Lara Croft was reimagined into a younger academic who is pushed to survive on a remote island in Japan and investigates a mystery unsolved by her late father. Hitting theaters March 16, the new film from director Roar Uthaug has several big elements straight from the 2013 reboot developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. That’s because the new film is based significantly after the reboot game Tomb Raider from 2013. But for those who haven’t thought of Tomb Raider since Friends was on the air, you may be surprised to see how different the movie looks from the classic PlayStation titles.

Now, the Tomb Raider is back in a blockbuster reboot of, well, Tomb Raider, starring Alicia Vikander ( The Man from U.N.C.L.E.). Few pop culture figures defined the nineties as Lara Croft.
