Plot

Tomb Raider is a video game-inspired movie that follows the adventures of Lara Croft. In this movie, Lara is attempting to make ends meet by working as a courier. She is trying to make peace with her father’s sudden disappearance. He has already been assumed dead, but Lara believes otherwise. When she is offered her part of the inheritance, Lara hesitantly accepts it. In the inherited family home, she finds a secret chamber of her father’s research.

Richard Croft had been navigating about Himiko, a mythical queen believed to be prowess of life and death. Through a message, he warns Lara to burn his findings and make peace with his sudden disappearance. Lara does the exact opposite and embarks on a conquest to find her father and the mystery of Himiko. But, she is unaware of the adventures that await her.

Analysis

Tomb Raider is the director’s attempt at bringing the thrilling experience of the famous game with the same name to the screen. This video game was like no other, it had viewers blinded by its glory. So, when it was adapted as a movie, the public was thrilled. This movie lived up to the expectations of all the gamers and a novice viewer. A masterpiece was created that had a balance between both worlds – gaming and entertainment.

The art of storytelling lies in crafting a detailed storyline with minute details and this movie has perfected it. A definite conflict was raised and as the movie neared to climax, all the pieces fell into place. The only flaw here was the mundane information during the first half of the movie. Those details could have been presented better to not bore the audience.

What’s There?

• The movie creates a unique plot to entertain both – fans and novice viewers.

• The resolution of conflict left no questions unanswered.

What’s not There?

• It was slow-paced for the audience’s liking.

Verdict

Tomb Raider is everything the audience would have expected and more. If you are an ardent fan of its game, you will surely not be disappointed. Even if you are ignorant of the game’s hype, this is a mesmerizing cinematic experience.
