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.

Andrea Gronvall

Chicago Reader

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

The Cinematic Reel

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.

A rather weak film. The legend of Himiko is interesting, but it’s left unexplored—just like the rest of the plot. There are way too many questions and far too few answers, with lots of miracle rescues and sudden revelations that the whole story relies on. I didn’t like the soundtrack choices, and there are clearly too many sentimental moments—though they don’t really evoke much emotion.

Not bad for a video game movie or a remake. A decent action/adventure film.

Alicia Vikander was awesome for the role. Thing that pisses me off is that they made Lara a stubborn idiot. Her whole trip could've been so much easier if she would have just taken a moment to sign for her inheritance. She may have saved her dad with a proper team, better equipment, better boat and even a helicopter. Hell she could've taken guns, why you say, why not I say, you don't what or who you're gonna find. Also why tf did she even leave and become a regular Joe in the first place, just to struggle for a living when she doesn't need to. Typical Hollywood adding pointless struggle to the mix to try make things more interesting. Turned out okay though.

If your a fan of the new reboot trilogy, go for it for sure, if not youll find a cheesy and pretty straight and narrow adventure flick
