Review of Tomb Raider (2018) by Talulagrey — 31 May 2018

If you are expecting a remake of Lara Croft Tomb Raider you will be disappointed. I have watched my husband play the game and some of the scenes from the movie are similar to scenes from the game. Much of the movie is very badly acted, especially by Vikander and there is no real father daughter chemistry between her and her father, played by Dominic West.

I have to say that I was sorely disappointed by the film. The only real bright spot were some of the scenes that involved some kind of action. The music was heavily implemented to carry some of the scenes or at least to give them more of a punch.

I can and have been able to suspend any attachment to reality but for this film it was rather difficult as my mind would wander back to certain holes in the story-line. Over all I'd say it gets a 3 for atmosphere and somewhat decent production values because the story and the acting were terrible.
