Eh, it doesn't look great. Kind of like a nerfed version of the video game.

The whole idea of Lara Croft in that game was the idea she was barely surviving, it was kind of like Die Hard mixed with Tomb Raider - she was constantly injured or subjected to terrible conditions. As such it made you more invested with her character - when we see a character go through strife we kind of root for them to succeed.

In the game during the ship scene, she is out of her depth, almost drowns and almost gets impaled trying to do a hero jump from one side of the broken ship to the other which results in the unwanted aspect of her falling into the ocean

In the movie during the ship scene, she seems to know exactly what to do and intentionally jumps from the ship into the water.

@Scarilian - I've never played the game but I did watch that trailer when it came out and I was thinking this too. That aspect could make for a very interesting action film. I would like to see some of that in the movie.

@BlindWedjat -

Same, would have been great seeing her deal with actually surviving in the wilderness. I dont think we've seen someone actually in a position of peril surviving in a forest/island for quite a while, at least not in an established franchise.

The 2013 Game is pretty great, though a bit of backtracking in order to unlock quests. I got most the way through it before losing interest, stealth segments were probably my favorite part especially when you get the bow - but that was primarily as i was trying to do a 100% completion and going back to unlock different aspects was tedious.

@Scarilian - Good point. I could see that being an issue, having her be over-competent (ala Rey). Hopefully the break her down in the first half of the movie though. Loved the game, I haven't played the sequel yet but I need to.

You know what? The second trailer for this changed my mind about this film. It looks like it could be decent fun, though it seems to have this problem of having these one-liners that are just made for trailers. Then again, maybe those lines are for the trailers only. Alicia Vikander is a great actress and I'd love to see what she brings to the role

Maybe it was just the song choice I liked with the second trailer anyway lol.

Why are the trailers making it seem like her father's sending her off on this quest but the synopsis say she does it against his final wishes?
