This was total wonder woman style action adventure. Lara Croft is kind of a devil may care bad ass, who fortunately for the trajectory of the story has been kick boxing, bike messengering, and generally getting herself into superior physical shape before impulsively taking off for an island in the middle of the Pacific looking for her long gone father. She gets a clue as to where he was off to when he disappeared, and rather than declare him dead, she has been ignoring it, up until the point where if she doesn't do something, she is going to loose the family home--which she doesn't live in but still is very attached to. What she finds there sets her off to be shipwrecked, captured, chased, a few near death experiences, only to be rescued, come home, and find out things that will set up the next movie in the series. It was very entertaining, Alicia Vikander is an excellent bad ass woman, and I would root for her again in a sequel, no question.
