Our Score

Many people were surprised when it was announced there was going to be a Tomb Raider movie reboot, especially considering the Angelina Jolie movies of the early 2000s aren’t exactly well remembered. However, as with so many other videogames, there’s no intrinsic reason it couldn’t be turned into a good movie. Although for some reason, Hollywood has great difficulty turning games into serviceable film.

This time around Jolie has been replaced by Alicia Vikander, who like her predecessor stepped into Lara Croft’s shoes shortly after winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar (Jolie for Girl Interrupted and Vikander for The Danish Girl). Her Lara is a young woman who’s fiercely intelligent and smart, but whose life shifted sideways when her adventurer father went missing, presumed dead, when she was a child. [Read more…]

Submergence Trailer – James McAvoy & Alicia Vikander star in Wim Wenders latest

31st January 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Submergence is a love story that takes us into the extremely different worlds of our two protagonists, Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) and James More (James McAvoy). They meet by chance in a remote hotel in Normandy where they both prepare for a dangerous mission. They fall in love almost against their will, but soon recognize in each other the love of their lives. When they have to separate, we find out that James works for the British Secret Service.

‘He’s involved in a mission in Somalia to track down a source for suicide bombers infiltrating Europe. Danielle ‘Danny’ Flinders is a bio-mathematician working on a deep sea diving project to support her theory about the origin of life on our planet. Soon, they are worlds apart. James is taken hostage by Jihadist fighters and has no way of contacting Danny, and she has to go down to the bottom of the ocean in her submersible, not even knowing if James is still alive…’

Submergence is due in UK cinemas on May 18th. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Tomb Raider Trailer – Alicia Vikander goes into action as Lara Croft

18th January 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Videogame to movie adaptations don’t exactly have a great reputation, and the Angelina Jolie Tomb raider movies have been reviled by many. However, Hollywood has decided it’s worth having another go, with Alicia Vikander stepping into Lara Croft’s boots.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen.  Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class.  Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.

Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan.  But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous.  Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown.  If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.’

Take a look at the new trailer below. The movie will be in UK cinemas on March 16th. [Read more…]

Tomb Raider Trailer – Alicia Vikander goes into action as Lara Croft

20th September 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Want to know a coincidence? Two years after Angelina Jolie won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar, she played Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider movie, and exactly the same will be true of Alicia Vikander. Our first look at the new filmic take on the classic videogame franchise has now arrived, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen.  Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class.  Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.

Armie Hammer To Star In Ben Wheatley’s Freakshift, Opposite Alicia Vikander

5th April 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire has just hit UK cinemas, but he’s already planning his next movie, with Alicia Vikander signed up to star. Now he’s got one of his Free Fire stars to join the cast, as Deadline reports that Armie Hammer is now onboard.

The movie is an ‘action thriller about a band of misfit cops who hunt down and kill nocturnal underground monsters’. Vikander is taking the lead role, with Hammer as her love interest.

Wheatley is set to direct from a script he co-wrote Freakshift with his wife, Amy Jump. The movie is due to start shooting this August, once Vikander has finished shooting the remake of Tomb Raider.

First Official Look At Alicia Vikander As Lara Croft In Tomb Raider

27th March 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Despite an enormous amount of hype, the attempt to bring Tomb Raider to the big screen with Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, underperformed at the box office. However, Hollywood has decided to have another go, this time with Alicia Vikander in the main role.

The first image has now arrived, which suggests this take won’t be a glossy and shiny as the earlier movies, instead reflecting the more realistic look the video games had in later instalments.

Here’s the newly released synopsis: ‘Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.

‘Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.’

The film is currently due in cinemas March 2018.
