The game was maybe eight to ten hours long and had a nice pace for character growth but this one, when compressed into a two hour film, makes it seem very, very rushed. If you guys have played the game you would know what I mean. I don't want to spoil too much.

It was a lot of green screen but the effects were alright.

Alicia Vikander plays a pretty decent young Lara Croft. I was apprehensive at first but she grew on me.

I would give this a light recommendation. I went into this with really low expectations and enjoyed it. Definitely not a waste of a MoviePass ticket.

I'll wait for Netflix.

It appears I am the only one here who has seen this movie.

That being said, I look forward to yours and everyone else's opinion. I was actually pleasantly surprised. I guess it also helps I have pretty low standards when it comes to movies.[/quote]

You do have some very low movie standards which are totally opposite of mine, lol.

Timeline says you posted at 8:03AM EDT. What the heck are you doing up at 5AM?

I've been getting up at 3:30 am for the last six months, not by choice my internal clock says get up. I'm probably the only unemployed stoner you know who's up four hours before the sun every day. Razz
