Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished years earlier. Hoping to solve the mystery of her father's disappearance, Croft embarks on a perilous journey to his last-known destination -- a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. The stakes couldn't be higher as Lara must rely on her sharp mind, blind faith and stubborn spirit to venture into the unknown.

Critics Consensus

Tomb Raider reboots the franchise with a more grounded approach and a star who's clearly more than up to the task -- neither of which are well served by an uninspired origin story.

Andrea Gronvall

Chicago Reader

Roar Uthaug (The Wave) directed; his work feels derivative of Steven Spielberg's first two Indiana Jones movies, though not half as entertaining.

If you're coming to Tomb Raider, you're not coming for the common sense. You're coming for the action sequences. Luckily, Vikander kills in every segment she's in.

Rated: 2.5/4

Film Comment Magazine

But there's little [Roar Uthaug] can do with Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons's script (derived largely from the "third era" of the video game), which functions like a treasure map without resonance or mystery.

The Cinematic Reel

Tomb Raider is a step in a the right direction for a genre desperately needing a turn-in critical performance. While nothing to boast about with 34 films in the genre thus far, the 50 percent rating on rotten tomatoes moves the needle up.

Rated: 2.5/4

A fun and often times thrilling action-adventure with a strong, believable female protagonist .

Curve

The real pleasure of this Tomb Raider is Alicia Vikander’s distinctively living embodiment of Lara Croft. Part athlete, part sleuth, this Lara is all sinew and soulful drive.

It's okay if you like the Tomb Raider franchise, but doesn't add much.

A good attempt at a reboot, but the writing left a little to be desired. Alicia Vikander brought a fresh face to the franchise.

Solid but unspectacular. A little underwhelming considering how good the video game is, but certainly worth the watch for fans and even people who never played the game. It doesn’t follow the story of the game exactly, but there are some very cool callbacks to the game. The actress who played Lara is pretty good, but the rest of the cast is forgettable. Not a bad movie, but could’ve been better.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

3 minutes and it's already scrap, frankly, it's worse than disappointing. I don't even want to develop it, it's so bad and miles away from the original support. this film shouldn't be called tomb raider, nor Lara Croft.

Everything about this film and take on the franchise is underrated. Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft is totally underrated. This adaptation was down and dirty, rugged, brutal, intense and more real than the last films ( or as real as you can get with Tomb Raider). Way better than those Angelina Jolie films. You're certainly not getting her fighting big robots in her huge mansion and other over the top silliness in this film. I'm so disappointed they didn't continue to make more with Alicia Vikander. She was totally Lara Croft.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
