It also blends Lara’s present day with her younger ones as the viewer gets a glimpse of what the relationship between her and her father was like. The story is very simple, easy to follow and plays out in obvious sequence until its finale. But other than the fair-skinned actress hanging from rocks and running through forest whilst shooting arrows there isn’t a hell of a lot of incentive to keep watching. It contains a good amount of action-adventure for those who relish this, with Vikander putting a lot of energy into her role as Lara. So I grabbed my usual Starbucks vente latte, took my seat next to a random guy (who I swear kept farting throughout the film), and prepared to enjoy. But it could go one of two ways: Brilliant. Given the hugely popular preceding movies of the same franchise as well as various computer games, I just couldn’t imagine what this installment would bring. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from Tomb Raider.
Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she discovers the island where her father disappeared.
