![]() But the replacement plot hook, the threat of plague, puts the heroes in the awkward situation where everyone would have been better off if they’d just stayed home.2 Chainz 21 Savage 50 Cent Aaliyah Aaron Carter Aaron Eckhart Aaron Korsh Aaron Paul Aaron Sorkin Aaron Taylor-Johnson Aaron Tveit Aasif Mandvi Abbi Jacobson Abbie Cornish Abby Elliott Abby Lee Miller Abi Morgan Abigail Breslin Abigail Spencer Abraham Attah Action Bronson Adam Brody Adam Demos Adam DeVine Adam Driver Adam Goldberg Adam Green Adam Horovitz Adam Horowitz Adam Lambert Adam Levine Adam McKay Adam Pally Adam Rippon Adam Rodriguez Adam Sandler Adam Savage Adam Scott Adam Shankman Adam West Adam Wingard Adam Yauch Addison Timlin Adelaide Kane Adele Adele Lim Aden Young Adil El Arbi Adore Delano Adrian Garcia Bogliano Adrian Grenier Adrian McKinty Adrian Pasdar Adrianne Palicki Adrien Brody Agatha Christie Agnes Bruckner Ahmed Best Ahmir Thompson Aidan Gillen Aidy Bryant Aimee Garcia Aimee Mann Aimee Teegarden Aisha Dee Aisha Saeed Aisha Tyler Aisling Bea Aisling Franciosi AJ McLean Aja Naomi King Akiva Goldsman Akiva Schaffer Al Franken Al Gore Al Pacino Al Roker Al Sharpton Alan Alda Alan Arkin Alan Ball Alan Cumming Alan J. Taking the weather control out of the story lets the 2018 Tomb Raider team avoid incorporating magic, which is common in both the video game series and the first two films. Why he didn’t just stop is a mystery, and Lara only hurts the situation by ignoring his wishes that she destroy his notes. In the new film, Richard Croft realizes how dangerous Himiko is and keeps looking for her, even though he knows some shady organization is monitoring his progress. In The Cradle of Life, Lara is racing against a mad bioweapons maker to find Pandora’s box and keep him from opening it and unleashing a pandemic. While in the game, Himiko is believed to have control over storms, which ties into Yamatai’s perilous seas, the new film turns her into a bringer of plague, which makes the search for her tomb seem like an extremely bad idea. ![]() The other half of Tomb Raider’s plot seems to have been lifted from the second Angelina Jolie franchise installment, the 2003 film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life. Given that he’s such a weak nothing of a villain, his eventual defeat isn’t even particularly satisfying. The movie version doesn’t even believe she has any power. The video game Mathias he’s based on is insane because he’s been stranded on the island for 31 years, and has come to worship Himiko.

Instead, he complains about how he has no one to talk to, while sitting in the middle of a busy camp. Why is that true? We’re told that human traffickers are regularly bringing new laborers to the island, presumably to replace the ones Mathias kills, but there’s no apparent reason he can’t quit and take one of those transports back home to his two daughters. He feels like a castaway from Lost, stuck on an island for seven years until a voice on the other side of his satellite phone tells him he can leave. By contrast, Mathias in the new film is a pathetic tool.
