Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft review

As someone who hasn’t grow up with the Tomb Raider games I judged this Netflix animated adaptation on its own merits, and so far it seems rather good.

The story focuses on Lara Croft trying to move past her guilt of all the family and friends that she lost. She is rather vulnerable and prone to PTSD-like symptoms, which makes a badass women that still feels human and a well rounded character. My main issue is that she can shift from grief to “adventure mode” a bit too fast, but I guess that’s what coping does to people.

The animation is okay. Its certainly good, though I don’t feel it sets itself apart much from other Netflix cartoons.

Overall a strong recommendation.
