A character celebrated for her defiant agency is presented on the big screen as living aimlessly until her dad gives her something to do – namely follow in his footsteps and complete his work. Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared. One of the key Bechdel Test components is for women to talk about something other than a man, and Tomb Raider 2018 fails that horribly – despite having a female lead.Įven more so than in the 2001 Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider, Lara Croft is presented here as her father’s errand girl. Such a pity then that literally the only thing our fledgling heroine speaks about in the trailer is her father.

Overseen by acclaimed Norwegian filmmaker Roar Uthaug, of disaster movie The Wave fame, the action in Tomb Raider looks gritty, real-world and satisfyingly crunchy. If the plot parallels weren’t enough, shots in the film trailer mirror those from the game, including the sinking ship leap and a parachute mishap. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.Īlthough it isn’t an exact replica of the 2013 video game, that franchise reboot is clearly the chief source of inspiration for the character’s big-screen resurrection. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who-against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit-must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. But her mission will not be an easy one just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Lara Croft, the fiercely independent daughter of a missing adventurer, must push herself beyond her limits when she finds herself on the island where her father disappeared. Directed by Roar Uthaug and starring Alicia Vikander, Walton Goggins, Hannah John-Kamen and Dominic West.

Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.Īdvised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan.
