![]() It’s just another action movie based on a video game. There’s nothing new or inventive about it. Alas, in Tomb Raider, our lead finds her way out of trouble every time.īut is it a bad film? Not necessarily. Should our heroine have died in this scene? Yes! Multiple times! Perhaps the biggest of the many flaws of Tomb Raider is that it forgets that it’s not a video game, but a movie - one where there should be consequences. But, perhaps fittingly, it is an actual scene featuring Lara Croft from the new Tomb Raider film. If that sounds like a video game to you, well, it isn’t. She lands roughly, but all she has to show for it is a stick in her abdomen. Still, she manages to miss a few trees and several branches on the way down through the forest below. And as the plane begins falling, she opens the ‘chute and jumps - only to find out that there are holes in it. ![]() But, by this point, she’s freed herself from the ropes on her hands, and she’s able to grab an old parachute. Now the plane is shifting under her weight and it too is about to fall. It breaks off of the airplane and careens down the waterfall - but not before she manages to jump off of the win and into the body of the plane. She pulls herself up onto the wing, but her weight is too much for it to bear. Fortunately, she is able to catch herself on an old, rusty plane that is dangling precariously on the edge of the waterfall. With nowhere else to turn, she jumps off a cliff into a raging river - and almost goes over a waterfall that rises several hundred feet above its landing area below. Her hands are still tied as she escapes her captors and dodges the bullets they’re firing at her with semi-automatics.
