The big IP "Laura the Tomb Raider", which has not been updated for 15 years, finally welcomes its restart. This time it is not a sequel, nor does Angelina Jolie be seen. The movie based on the 2013 game "Tomb Raider 9" It is a complete live-action game CG, and the various scenes and characters are really restored by God! Naturally, it won the favor of loyal fans of the 13-year version of the game.
As the most popular IP in the history of European and American games, there are no more than two points of debate among the audience for Laura, who was born again. What do you think of Julie's version of Laura and Kanmei's version of Laura? How do you view the original game with the movie effect?
First of all, Julie's type itself is not my type. If I ask myself, I really don't know what her sexiness is. I have never liked Laura with big breasts and fat buttocks, so I am also happy to see her become a fresher and younger image. . The most important thing is that the new story starts from Laura's childhood. She is only a delivery girl who can't even beat an underground boxer. She is injured and bleeds. She is a cute little girl. Back then, the reason I liked "Tomb 9" was that the game brought me a more realistic Laura, who wouldn't go overboard as soon as she appeared, and would always be one step ahead of her opponent. If possible, the new story will give the audience a chance to witness Laura's growth as a superwoman.
Then it is the restoration and innovation of the game by the movie. It must be affirmed that Kanmei's image is very close to the game. She portrays Laura, who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside, very well. It is absolutely impossible for the audience to feel this humanized kindness by changing Julie. And the rough seas, tropical rainforests, wrecked beaches, and World War II planes that crashed on waterfalls in Yamatai have been restored to bring surprises to game fans again and again.
But the innovation of the film is not satisfactory. I am not against the film bringing the supernatural tone back to reality, but it should not be at the expense of the core elements of the original. In the original game, the Empress of Yamatai uses magic to transfer her soul to different girls to achieve immortality. The undead warriors guard the palace for many years, and the country of Yamatai is also shrouded in storms because of magic, forming a name that is as famous as Bermuda.” Japanese Dragon Triangle". In order to prevent people who strayed into the island from leaving, the queen is a large number of complex and deadly organs arranged in the ancient tomb, and breaking the organs is also a more important element in the "Laura" game series than the battle. Puzzle solving and fantasy are the most successful elements of the original game experience and atmosphere creation. If you lose them, you can only imitate the shell of the original at most. The Queen of Yamatai in the movie was finally confirmed to be only a deadly virus immune person, and did not have any supernatural background. The so-called organs are just a few riddles that can be cleared with a little patience. Although the innovation of the film breaks the shackles of the original to a certain extent, it makes the strange and tense moments in the game disappear, so that fans can't help feeling deceived.
In the end, I have to praise Xi Kanmei again. From "Ex Machina" to "Bourne Bourne 5", to "Laura", every time a new image is displayed on the screen, there is a flat chest and a flat chest. Playing Laura well has become a muscular man, and the image is really quite match.
God's restoration, small surprise, brand new Laura, more vivid and pleasant, it is worth recommending, not for collection.
