And that’s even before she gets to the temple full of intricately-constructed traps. Eventually she has to face the truth about her departed dad – only to find a breadcrumb that leads her to the same trail from which he disappeared years earlier.Īs Lara uncovers secrets about her father – some buried underground, others bound in a journal – the plot has more than a whiff of familiarity. Lara works making deliveries, biking through London with an Xtreme Sports recklessness that feels more of the era of the original filmed adaptation than this one.

She lives cheap to avoid collecting her family fortune, which would require accepting that her long-absent father is dead. Rather, like that guy in those movies that the Tomb Raider franchise relies upon for inspiration, it’s just difficult enough that success feels like an accomplishment. Vikander doesn’t make this all look easy. Tomb Raider exploits her ability to injects a boundless energy into the Croft persona as she sweats through jungle chases, bike races, and dock brawls with a compulsively watchable level of effort. Never let it be said that Vikander isn’t up to a challenge. There’s an intellectual property to be mined, after all. Here we are regardless, fifteen years since Angelina Jolie last strapped on a pair of pistols to play one of the few – maybe the only? – female video game characters recognizable to an audience that doesn’t play games. Maybe that’s because Croft has already been reinvented in the digital space – in a 2013 title that provides the basis for the character in this film – or that, like many video game characters, Croft still isn’t really at home on the big screen. It’s not like Alicia Vikander has been absent since her 2016 Oscar win for The Danish Girl, and yet Tomb Raider feels like more of a return for Vikander than it does for video game heroine Lara Croft.
