Tomb Raider

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier.

The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.

Critic reviews

It’s a different kind of Tomb Raider, certainly. But for an adventure film, it’s disconcertingly dull. Full review

John Nugent
Empire

Though entertaining in the moment and briskly paced, Tomb Raider never overcomes feeling like a video game that you watch instead of play.Full review

Sandy Schaefer
Screen Rant

‘Tomb Raider’ suffers from the tropes of an origin tale, but gives its protagonist a timely and relevant overhaul to confidently launch Alicia Vikander as this generation’s Lara Croft. Full review

She comes off as an imploring, impulsive young woman who's in over her head but will beat the odds anyway. Her Lara may be the most grounded and believable cinematic video-game protagonist I've seen. Full review
