Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by David P — 31 Mar 2018

As far as video game to movie adaptations go, this movie is by far the best that I have seen. Any deviation from the video game canon only serves to amplify, and not detract from, the story and character development.

This crossover grounds several of the elements that would be farfetched in reality but is commonplace in today's video games, and this makes this movie all the better. Better still, I found myself at the edge of my seat just as I do at home when the action sequences began.

Alicia Vikander plays a wonderful Croft, not like the campy Jolie version. This movie is a must see for anyone who truly enjoys the Croft universe. 4 out of 5 for this highly enjoyable adaptation.
