![]() ![]() We will update this section as soon as concrete plot details about the sequel are available. ![]() These are all, however, at this point, mere speculations, albeit intelligible ones. The credits see her buying the dual iconic guns, a staple for the video games and a joy for the fans of the game, with the film’s closing implying that she would carry on her father’s mission to stop Trinity. When she returns to London, she accepts her father’s inheritance formally, working for Croft Holdings, whence she realises that Trinity’s parent company, Patna was in fact a subsidiary of her own company, making her realise that Ana Miller was indeed working for Trinity the whole time along with Vogel. Some of the action sequences with the vine slinging, archery and the occasional hand to hand are nicely done too, so we already know what should be brought back and what may require a little bit of tweaking for the sequel.Īs for the plot itself, it could be a new adventure for Lara across uncharted lands, or pick up from where the first film ended with there being plenty of room for a potential sequel with Lara and the group escaping from Yamatai after killing Mathias Vogel, containing the deadly virus within the tomb. Despite the major shortcoming of the film, Alicia Vikander’s performance is consistently good and she works with what she is given in my opinion. She is punched, beaten, and brought down in unspectacular fashion multiple times, and although she does rise up to give it back by the end, you can’t help but feel that the film could have done better if it gave its protagonist much more room to shine like the badass that she is. That said, despite some earnest adaptations, there genuinely was a disconnect felt between the character’s film persona and video game persona. Perhaps, the realm of video games exists to fulfill parts of the human flights of fantasy that movies possibly can’t, and any attempt to do so should prove futile any which way. At this point, it just seems like an unliftable curse and filmmakers cannot seem to translate to film what is simply great about the video games. ![]() The first ‘Tomb Raider’ film (rebooted) also joins the long list of poorly received films based on video games. In the film’s second reckoning, I strongly believe that the film would attempt to move away from certain criticisms, some of them valid too, about this new iteration of Lara Croft being more “realistic” than gritty and grounded, something that hasn’t benefited a lot of the WB films before it. Here is everything that we currently know of it. Either that, or something that we cannot currently fathom, but the truth of the matter remains that another ‘Tomb Raider’ film is coming within the next two years. The reason for this, the one rooted in commerce at least, would seem like the executives over at WB just as the trade pundits, who expected the film to perform far better when it released last year, feel that the franchise needs to be given another shot at course correction, given how its prospects may have been seriously hurt by the prolonged ‘ Black Panther’ mania during its release, at least domestically, as with several other films that released during the same time. ![]()
