TOMB RAIDER Direction: Roar UthaugActors: Alicia Vikander, Walton GogginsRating: 1 / 5Almost two decades after Angelina Jolie first played the new-millennium action heroine in a brace of blockbusters, Lara Croft is resuscitated for a slapdash spin-off. This time, it is fellow Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) portraying the headstrong young videogame icon, who is destined to become an adventuress after the disappearance of her archaeologist father (Dominic West). Tomb Raider is high on chases, stunts and cheesy effects, but low on intensity. The ensuing race-against-the-clock narrative is crammed with chases, stunts and cheesy effects, and totally devoid of intensity. Neither as supple nor as charismatic as her predecessor, Alicia Vikander and her Tomb Raider don’t even make it to see-grade.
