The first Tomb Raider movie trailer is finally out, and – y’know what, it actually doesn’t look that bad. Like, don’t get us wrong, there are a few shots where the sets look really artificial and cheap – but it seems fine for a B-movie thing. It looks like the plot is modelled after the 2013 video game reboot, as protagonist Lara Croft (played by Alicia Vikander) follows in her father’s footsteps, and goes in pursuit of some kind of hidden treasure. Naturally, she gets shipwrecked along the way.

The film’s due in theatres on 16th March, so this won’t be the last we see of the flick before launch. We wouldn’t be surprised if the rumoured Shadow of the Tomb Raider was revealed at some point over the next six or so months, too – brand synergy and all that.

What do you think of the trailer? Do you reckon Vikander fits the part? At least she actually sounds English, right?
