An excellent piece of entertainment! I really enjoyed this remake. It’s fast-paced, great action sequences, and Alicia Vikander, who plays Lara Croft, is outstanding. Vikander is one of my favourite actors and she brings a believability to her performance and makes the story more grounded than the originals. Norwegian Roar Uthaug direction is spot on. I’ve taken ½ a star off for the inevitable plot holes. But who really cares when it’s such a joy to watch. Check it out on the big screen. Can’t wait for the next one.
