still worth seeing

To be honest, it was better than I expected. I thought it would be the same as Ubisoft's other game adaptation movie "Assassin's Creed". Although I haven't watched the first-generation "Tomb Raider" in the past few years, I don't know much about the game, but I have heard of Laura's famous name, knowing that this is similar to "Uncharted Sea" and tells adventure stories, Instead of just robbing tombs and digging dumplings. This film tells the original story, that is, Laura found her long-lost father, realized her mission, and discovered the conspiracy behind the adventure. There will be a more exciting development (sequel) in the follow-up, which shows that the director is still very confident in this work.

There is really nothing to say about the plot of the whole film. It is very common to discover the organs and clues in the father's legacy, so as to find out the lost island of his father. The villain's conspiracy, which saved the world (a common problem in the United States), can be said to be simple and rude. Although the single-line plot will be a little dull, it is better than being neat and tidy. Once you get through to the end, the plot is not full of ups and downs and twists and turns, so you can make money from environmental depictions, fights, and various thrilling scenes. After all, the original game is to constantly climb, jump, and perform acrobatics, showing all kinds of manipulative actions that are difficult for human beings to perform with infinite physical strength. Laura in the movie is still in good shape, but God knows why she can learn fighting. It's not Drake's blood (laughs).

Several bridges in the movie are done quite well, such as the boat traversing the raging ocean with difficulty, the tidal wave is surging after one wave, and the sound of the tide is deafening. It is really very expressive and makes people feel It was like being there; the part of the abandoned plane on the waterfall was even more thrilling. Laura carefully stood up straight, her bound hands grabbed the railing, and while grinding the rope, she watched the gradually sinking fuselage. She grabbed the broken parachute in one jump, was slashed by countless branches and fell into the jungle, this series of wonderful scenes, even if she knew that her life would not be in any danger, it really made people sweat for her; The arrows in the jungle are not empty, and the cliff leap in the final scene also shows the two artifacts in the game: bows and arrows, mountaineering picks, which are impressive; although the various organ settings are old-fashioned, they are also quite interesting; After the coffin was opened, the mercenaries screamed and mutated, making everyone realize that the final boss of the film was actually a deadly infectious disease! It really did cater to the foreshadowing and was unexpected, and I thought there would be some magical unfolding; the usual buildings in the film collapsed and collapsed, Laura sprinted all the way, and cooperated with the majestic and impassioned bgm, it was really a bit. blood.

Having said that, since Laura rushed into the island in the big waves, she had all kinds of adventures and battles all the way. In the film area, she fought several times in one day, got injured, fell from high places, and had to fight with the enemy. It's really hard for her to talk to her father, and the actress's acting skills are also quite in place. The pain of the soul and the extreme pain of the body are really vividly portrayed. After taking a break, you can take a breath, and you can continue to perform various exercises firmly and lastingly. Is it the legendary "breathing and blood-returning method"? Fighting closely with a man one or two heads taller than her, using various joint techniques and strangulation techniques, is another violent aesthetic that reflects the beauty of the female body, which is different from Wonder Woman. It can be said that she is a full-fledged superwoman , Female man, should prove the old saying: Who said that women are not as good as men! In the whole film, I personally think that the emotional scenes with my father are not well done, they are full of memories, the emotional expression is not deep enough, and the final parting is too hasty. Although it is more realistic, Laura's nature is also very strong, but it is still lacking, but this will not affect the shaping of the whole atmosphere.

The last thing I want to say is that when I saw the main hall enshrining Himiko, I felt like a tomb robbery, and it was an instant drama. In fact, Tomb Raider is not just another kind of Tomb Raiders. Get up, the bad is not a grade. The plot is not good enough, and it can be supplemented with scenes, actions, and music. It still looks like a good work, and the domestically produced Tomb Raider Notes Ghost Blowing Lamp and many other adventure movies are limited by various technical conditions, and the plot is also Insufficient tension and even embarrassing bridges, if you want to catch up, there is still a long way to go. I hope that one day, I can see a truly wonderful domestic blockbuster that is comparable to the Tomb Raider today.
