Also, it would possibly allow for Lara to see her long departed father again (motivation!). The secret group believes that the key she bought will lead them to an ancient triangular artifact that will allow the group a god-like power that would help them control time/space. After trying to disarm and destroy this robot by tearing out its circuitry, Lara finds solace in the fact that she has to celebrate the day her dad went missing, which eventually brings her to another mystery, after acquiring a key to unlock a potential god-like power, that leads her directly into the arms of the illuminati. We began this film with Lara in the midst of a battle with a robot in pursuit for a diamond inside an Egyptian tomb. That said, I was excited at the re-release of this film in 4K, as it’s a primer for the upcoming new film that looks pretty darn good. It’s a rarity that women in film, or even video games for that matter, are portrayed as being smart, agile, inventive/resourceful, as typically they are the damsel in distress. In addition to the financial success of its platforms through various mediums, this franchise has done so much for the empowerment of women and showing a real positive role model that is severely lacking across the board. Spanning from video games that sold millions of copies worldwide, to comic books and a film series (with a new one debuting in 2018), as well as an animated series - there is a lot of Lara Croft branding going on out there. Starting back in 1996 you can see how the Tomb Raider franchise has taken over as adventure archaeologist Lara Croft.
