Tomb Raider · 2:49am Mar 18th, 2018
Now, I am aware of the reboot of our Magnum-packing goddess. And therefore accept that the movie is based on those. As such, this serves more of an origin story; Lara isn't the efficient gunslinger many of us know.
And yet, at the same time, I like it just the same the two other movies! This is also the first video game movie that I know of that uses the "plant and payoff" story mechanic. For example, Lara and her father have an interest in a Panku puzzle; near the end we see Lara solve such a puzzle to open a tomb.
In the end, she gets her trademark magnums from a pawn shop, and is ready to put an end to an evil corporation.
While I put my bets on this being a good video game movie, I'm a man of honor when I want to give "Rampage" a fair chance.
So, after I make a review of "Peter Rabbit" tomorrow before going back to school, expect two more reviews a week away. What I ask is, what should be first on Thursday night?
Isle of Dogs?
Or
Pacific Rim: Uprising?
P.S. Commissions are still open if any of you are interested.
