Finally finished the first two games from the recent trilogy and boy howdy is it an experience.

Thought that a movie was impossible, then remembered that there was a movie starring Alicia Vikander...

Went back to check and HOLY FUCK did the movie parallel the games so well.

It's obviously not a great way to do it... But TR is just not as grounded as we'd like to think.

The Last of Us worked since it has more grounded aspects... But when the climax of your game is Lara battling fucking undead Samurai, you have yourself a pickle.

However, a higher budget and a franchise guarantee would've made this an AWESOME experience... Imagine the bow and arrow scene from the movie, but with an older and more experienced Lara... Stealth shooting like in the games 😭❤️.

Never played the games but I'm a big fan of AV so I enjoyed the movie.

I found out about her through this movie. No idea what else she's done but the fact that she buffed up for this role and looks the part is enough to keep me happy for a while.
