As someone who has played TR9 three times tells you, if you have played TR9, don't watch this movie, and play TR9 again.
In terms of setting, this movie combines the background settings of the Tomb Raider (TR9) and the Rise of the Tomb Raider (TR10). From the image to the plot details, it strives to reproduce TR9, and it is stabbed by a wooden thorn. The plot of the first killing and climbing a plane made me a little excited, but in terms of Laura's own shaping, it is really incomparable with TR9.
The new Tomb Raider trilogy started from TR9. The center is Laura’s growth. TR9 Laura has transformed from an ignorant archaeologist to an explorer challenging the limits. In TR10, Laura He grew from an explorer to a descendant of Crawford with a sense of historical responsibility.
Because the film mixed these two transformations at the same time, it gave Laura an image of self-reliance in the first half of the film in advance, and focused on Laura’s transformation from rookie to Crawford. This span is a bit too large. Compared with the psychological changes in TR9, it seems rigid. Captain Ross, who is the father of TR9, can always act as a beacon of Laura's mind at critical moments, helping smart Laura to become self-reliant. The movie version chose the stubborn biological father and emphasized the responsibility of the Crawford family throughout the whole process. This way, Laura's transformation in the rookie stage seemed too weak, which made people feel that the psychological transition between the front and the back was unnatural.
I personally understand the hard work of the director and the screenwriter. After all, the movie version has to compress the two games that add up to nearly 100 hours of game time into 2 hours, reducing a lot of details, but for the third generation of the Tomb Raider series. Laura's growth process should at least be more plump. And this is exactly what the film did not perform well.
The highlight of the Tomb Raider game has always been adventure, and the adventure of this plot is even weaker. Whether it is TR9 or TR10, Laura is gradually revealing the facts and moving towards the truth, which is intertwined with the excitement and excitement of the adventure. The fun of archeology. The movie version has covered the archeological part in one stroke, and the content of the expedition has come too late, and the fight and chase are the core of the action scene, although it strengthens the tension of the plot, as a game fan, it is very important for the director to the Tomb Raider. Disappointed by this misunderstanding, the part of exploring always comes too late and goes too fast. I thought the plot of the Rise of the Tomb Raider would collapse soon, but I didn’t expect the latter part of the movie to collapse faster...
All in all, this is another failed adaptation of learning to learn but not to learn. If you have seen the real in the game, don't read it.
Add some views on styling:
The new Tomb Raider series is highly similar to Sony’s exclusive Uncharted Waters in terms of gameplay, so Crystal Power has put a lot of effort in the shaping of Laura (it can’t be said to be complete when you look at TR10), and one of the most important points is Laura. This is not to say that it is enough to simply have two sexy big balls. SE specially gave Laura a beautiful face that integrates Eastern and Western aesthetics. Combined with hesitating eyes, it seems pitiful in the predicament; cooperate The firm eyes can also reflect the unique heroism of women. In the details, the small movements of taking care of the appearance from time to time, the breathing and self-pumping during the actions can also clearly distinguish Laura and Drake.
However, in the movie, Laura was given an image of self-reliance prematurely, which caused Kanmei to lack the polishing of feminine characteristics in the details. If this play is replaced by Drake, there will be no strange feeling. It's not that Kanmei's acting skills are not enough, but the director's understanding of the new version of Laura is insufficient, and she did not deliberately highlight Laura's femininity, weakening the image of the heroine. This is also an important factor leading to the lack of fullness of Laura's image.
