Reboot movie based on rebooted series!
Bog-standard movie based on a video-game itself (largely) taking inspiration from a series of movies - Indiana Jane, anyone? - with the more recent entries in that game series seeming to take inspiration from the 'Uncharted' series of games (which is ironic, as they took inspiration from the earlier Tomb Raider games!)

In this one, Alicia Vikander takes over the role of a - very different than previous - Lara Croft, a younger version of the character who has not yet become the eponymous Tomb Raider we are all familiar with (and on which Angelina Jolie based her portrayal). If anyone has played the 2013(ish) Tomb Raider game, there's really no surprises here, with elements of the plot - and, indeed, some of the more memorable scenes - almost lifted wholesale from that game.

Great Pop culture Sci-fi film
I had no idea this was based on a book so can't compare it. The trailer hooked me as I've been a gamer for a long while and obvious a big film fan. Part of the fun of this film is spotting all the characters from games and film included in it, many blink and you'll miss it moments. Surprised at the amount of horror film references as well but a bonus for someone like me.
The action and visuals are great, although at times for long periods it feels like watching a video game. The story is actually fairly basic and similar in plot to many films. Overall a very enjoyable film especially if you grew up in the 80's, if not actually ground breaking.
