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 .

The real pleasure of this Tomb Raider is Alicia Vikander’s distinctively living embodiment of Lara Croft. Part athlete, part sleuth, this Lara is all sinew and soulful drive.

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

Greetings from Lithuania. To call a "Tomb Raider" (2018) a great movie found be a lie. But the truth is that i haven't had so much fun watching video game based movie in many moons. I loved both rebooted games on which this movie is based on (and can't wait for the third installment in game series). The truth is that both "Tomb Raider" games weren't really deep into their stories nor characters - it was about adventures, tombs and exploration. This movie gives exactly that - fun and good looking adventures. The performance by Alicia Vikander was very good - she carries the movie. But i would have loved to see more of Walton Goggins character - he was an interesting villain. Action sequences were good as well as set design. Overall, "Tomb Raider" isn't a great movie, but its a very fun adventure movie. Its closely based on its source material and doesn't tried to reinvent the wheel - it have me exactly what i was looking for from a "Tomb Raider" movie - a very fun adventure.

This was utterly stupid and bland. It would have been more fun to watch some cut scenes from a game. This could almost be a spoof of the Hunger Games. Not worth the time.

I'm not very familiar with the Tomb Raider franchise, but this is definitely a solid movie. It's not as sound as I was hoping it would be, but it was full of great fight scenes and plenty of action to keep anyone hooked. I definitely recommend it for action, adventure, and survival fans, and for fans of the Tomb Raider video games!

Better than the Angelina Jolie predecessor. I liked this take on Lara Croft as a more realistic version and more human feeling. Semi-entertaining but overall still just an average film due to a predictable plot and low emotional stakes.

I had never even heard of the video game. I’m not a video gamer, but I still really enjoyed this movie. Reminds me of Indiana Jones. A nice adventure
