Persona games operate under Translation Convention rules, so it's assumed they're *always* speaking Japanese unless shown otherwise, from what I understand.

I get that, but at the same time it just throws me off everytime it has a line like that

I could see Ann around 25-27 and Futaba as young as like 12

so yeah Ann being her mother is an overstatement but not by a whole lot

Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar

ok yeah so I'll admit it's kind of weird that Joker can date people like Kawakami at the same time as people like Futaba

Like him with the adults feels less weird because the game never seems to present him as a teenager. He's basically a young adult whose only technically 17 because the game says he is (same goes for most of the other "high schoolers," Ann especially.

Meanwhile Futaba looks, sounds and acts like a middle schooler. Great character but kind of weird that she's a romantic option

I'm at the beach scene and Ann and Futaba are next to each other and Futaba looks like she could be Ann's daughter

Ok so just got back, here are my thoughts:

Cons:

1. The makeup team really dropped the ball here. And it was probably more the fault of the producers making them keep Alicia Vikander pretty, but goddamn it took me out of the film to see her constantly going through all kinds of turmoil and walking away with barely a scratch. Like I burnt my arm on a hot baking sheet like a month ago and there's still a big, dark scar from it on my arm, but when Lara gets home she literally doesn't even have a scrape? She got up from crashing through a raging river and basically falling off a cliff looking like she had just tripped in her backyard and scuffed her jeans up a bit.

2. I agree that there was too much time spent in the beginning. I liked quite a bit of it (the boxing and the foxtail chase especially) but literally every flashback sequence was unnecessary. It's one of the things that's nice about the game; it just throws you directly into the action and then lets you figure out Lara as things are happening, rather than just handing you exposition at the beginning. And it wasn't terribly done, like Cly pointed out, the character growth we saw there worked well, I just wish they would've trimmed the fat there more to get into the plot faster.

3. Same goes for the ending. Everything inside the tomb itself was way too drawn out. The best part of the game (for me anyway) was exploring the island and seeing Lara grow into an action hero. But we spend a lot of time getting to the island, a little bit of Lara surviving the island, and then a lot of time inside a dark cave. The best part of the movie BY FAR was the river/waterfall survival, where it's like "Ok, yeah, Lara now Lara has reached badass level." But then we get like 3 arrow shots and all the island adventures were suddenly over. Feels like a wasted opportunity to capitalize on how thrilling Yamatai could've been.

4. Pretty bland cast aside from Lara. Which is weird, because Walter Goggins is an incredible villain actor, so why did they not use that? Again, it's a weird decision that limited what the movie could've been.

5. PG-13. I know they probably felt they had to do this to maintain sales, but goddamn, one of the things that stuck out the most for me about the game was how grisly and visceral it was. I expected basically an Uncharted spinoff going into the game but Tomb Raider was then I got Lara wading through a neck-high pool of blood and people getting impaled on rebar and Lara getting close, personal and violent. Everything in the movie felt a little too toned down; even the guy who got a spike through him did so without much shock.

Pros (largely been covered already so I'll just touch on them quick):

1. Vikander as Lara was a fucking PERFECT casting choice and she completely nailed the role.

2. While I wanted more action, the scenes we got were great. Foxtail chase was exciting, the rolling spike bars were great, and the river/waterfall/parachute scene was one of the best scenes I've ever seen in a video game movie, and was the closest to capturing the feel of the game itself.

3. Just really solid the whole way through. While I think some decisions were dumb, it was never anywhere near a "bad" movie, with the motivations feeling realistic, the plot twist being kind of clever (even though I miss the supernatural aspect and hope it comes back in the sequel), and the growth of Lara as a hero being well handled.

Maybe it seems like I'm being overly harsh here but I did really enjoy the movie. It's not amazing, but they definitely captured the essence of Lara Croft and what makes her great, and if they can break out of some of tropes of typical video game action movies, the sequel has the potential to be amazing.

I remember being hyped for it leading to it's release, but then the horrible reviews killed the hype for me and I still haven't seen it now going on two years later

So I assume it's not great by normal film standards, but is it worth seeing for a huge Assassin's Creed fan?

Is it based off the original Tomb Raider games, the 2013 reboot, or just an original thing that happens to be about Lara Croft?
