Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination -- a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.

Critics Consensus

Tomb Raider reboots the franchise with a more grounded approach and a star who's clearly more than up to the task -- neither of which are well served by an uninspired origin story.

Roar Uthaug (The Wave) directed; his work feels derivative of Steven Spielberg's first two Indiana Jones movies, though not half as entertaining.

If you're coming to Tomb Raider, you're not coming for the common sense. You're coming for the action sequences. Luckily, Vikander kills in every segment she's in.

But there's little [Roar Uthaug] can do with Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons's script (derived largely from the "third era" of the video game), which functions like a treasure map without resonance or mystery.

2.5/4

Tomb Raider is a step in a the right direction for a genre desperately needing a turn-in critical performance. While nothing to boast about with 34 films in the genre thus far, the 50 percent rating on rotten tomatoes moves the needle up.

A fun and often times thrilling action-adventure with a strong, believable female protagonist .

It's okay if you like the Tomb Raider franchise, but doesn't add much.

Entertaining but bad at the same time. All the characters combined had maybe 10 brain cells when it came to making decisions. Also the whole time it feels like you're just watching a video game that someone combined into a movie.

O maior problema desse filme é que ele é apático, falta emoção, é dificil se conectar com a maior parte desses personagens. A Lara Croft não é uma personagem terrível, mas poderia ser melhor trabalhada pelo roteiro. A atriz fez o que deu e é uma das coisas positivas desse filme. O vilão é genérico demais. No fim, um filme médio.

It's really matched with the original game, unfortunately the ending is lame

Understanding that this is a inexperienced Lara...the film still lacked the empathy, courageousness, and intelligence of the previous(Angelina Jolie) films in the franchise. Don't enter this film with any expectations of a true explorer/tomb raider
