Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Wallnuut — 11 Aug 2018

I cannot say that Tomb Raider 2018 has much going in its favor. The characters are generally uninteresting and forgettable. This is most notably attributable to main protagonist, Lara, which acts as the typical generic, and bratty kid you can expect to find in most action films. Plot points are not emphasized nearly enough for the typical viewer to bat even a single eye. Though its concept did seem promising throughout the movie's first couple of minutes, the execution of the story was unfortunately very poor. Additionally, due to the overbearing amount of vices presented as opposed to virtues, the concluding resolution felt very fabricated when reached.

All in all, Tomb Raider has showcased an impressive blueprint and conceptualization for its plot, though the way said blue print was utilized came out as more or less underwhelming. This film is tough to enjoy, casually or through a critical eye. For a better experience, its best to simply play the video games it is based off of.
