Tomb Raider
SCORE: 68
Long time readers and viewers knew this
review was coming. How did they know? They watched our Black Friday 2018
Haul video. To keep up with our Haul videos please go
here. Tomb Raider is one of those movies I bought because I wanted
to see it and I wanted to review it. We watched Tomb Raider on Blu-ray
on our march to Christmas. This is a Christmas tradition our family has.
Tomb Raider reboots the franchise for the movies. Tomb Raider also
borrows heavily from the video game reboot. Since that game is rated
macabre and morbid I have not played it. From what I have seen and heard
this Tomb Raider movie has some similarities. Alicia Vikander did an
excellent job with her acting in Tomb Raider. She struggles throughout
the movie and it shows. I love how she is panting for air after certain
stunts. That helps make this movie feel more realistic.
The issues families will have with Tomb Raider are violence, blood, bad
language, lack of attire, enticement to lust, murder, disgusting images
and more. There are plenty of over the top action scenes in Tomb Raider.
We all had different opinions on what she should try to do in certain
situations. Like being on that plane wing on the edge of a water fall.
You can decide which direction would be better.
The bonus content within Tomb Raider is a lot of look at how wonderful
we are. The special features are Lara Croft Evolution of an Icon, Croft
Training, Tomb Raider Uncovered, and Breaking Down the Rapids. It takes
118 minutes to watch Tomb Raider from start to finish. There are plenty
of video game like moments in Tomb Raider. The bonus features show how
bad the games have been.
As far as action movies go Tomb Raider is decent. The bad guy has a
decent motive for doing what he is doing. We also see a glimpse of a
larger evil in this universe. There are plenty of heart felt moments in
Tomb Raider. I hope there is a sequel to continue this storyline. I was
worried Tomb Raider would be part of the war on men. Thankfully it does
not look like that is the case.
