Fickle Felix

After her successful and thought provoking breakout film, Ex Machina, I was looking forward to seeing Alicia Vikander in a new light, from kicking mental ass to kicking physical ass. Full disclosure, I'm not really a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise. I only played it as a child and all I did was run around Lara's house and mess with her Butler. So throughout this review I will not be making any references to any games or the previous films. What I do know is that video game movies don't exactly have the best reputation in terms of quality. I walked into the theatre expecting to watch a mediocre action adventure film and that's ...... exactly what I saw. Image via Warner Bros. Tomb Raider follows the adventures of Lara Croft, a young woman who goes in search of her crappy dad who ditched her to go find a dead Japanese queen. At the same time, Lara must also stop a mysterious organization from taking the power of the queen and potentially destroying mankind.
