It feels like a fever dream today, yet it remains among the top ten most profitable movies based on video games of all time. Tomb Raider expected people to know about the game it was based on and it didn’t make any apologies for being a video game movie - despite the fact that it was one of the first blockbuster video game movies ever made. It makes no effort to explain itself or contextualize a single thing that happens in it. The logical leaps you have to make in order to keep up with this (barely held together) plot go far beyond what anyone would consider reasonable or decent in 2021. In honor of TheGamer’s ongoing Tomb Raider Week, I watched Lara Croft: Tomb Raider again for the first time in at least a decade, and I can not believe how wacky and wonderful this movie is. I watched it when I was a kid, and I remember certain parts of it like the shower scene and how crusty Daniel Craig looks. Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider is 20 years old.
