Tomb Raider 2 Plot

In the film’s second incarnation, I’m convinced that the picture will seek to address some genuine critiques regarding this new iteration of Lara Croft being more “realistic” than gritty and grounded. This quality hasn’t helped several previous WB films.

The original ‘Tomb Raider film (rebooted) also joins the long line of films based on video games that have garnered terrible reviews. It appears to be an unbreakable curse, with filmmakers unable to capture the essence of video games on film.

Perhaps the universe of video games exists to satisfy aspects of human flights of fancy that films cannot, and any attempt to do so should prove useless.

There was a fundamental gap between the character’s cinematic and video game personas despite some sincere adaptations.

She is repeatedly pummelling, battered, and dragged down, and while she eventually rises to reclaim it, you can’t help but feel that the film might have been much better if it had given its protagonist much more chance to shine as the badass that she is.

Despite the film’s primary flaw, Alicia Vikander’s performance is dependably strong, and she makes the best of what she is given.

Some of the action sequences with vine slinging, archery, and the odd hand-to-hand combat are also quite well done, so we know what should be retained and what may require some tuning for the sequel.

The storyline might be a new adventure for Lara in the undiscovered territory, or it may startup where the original film left off, with Lara and the party fleeing from Yamatai after killing Mathias Vogel and confining the deadly virus within the tomb.

When she goes to London, she legally takes her father’s wealth by working for Croft Holdings, where she discovers that Trinity’s parent company, Patna, was a subsidiary of her own business, confirming that Ana Miller, along with Vogel, had been working for Trinity the entire time.

The credits show her purchasing the two legendary pistols, which have become a feature of video games and a source of joy for fans, with the film’s conclusion hinting that she will continue her father’s goal to stop Trinity.

However, all of them are speculative at this moment, albeit plausible ones. This section will be updated as soon as substantial story facts concerning the sequel become available.
