Tomb Raider Movie Review

-

After Assassins Creed I lost all hope for video game movies, hopefully, Tomb Raider can restore my faith.


Tomb Raider Starring Alicia Vikander and Directed by Roar Uthaug. It's a reboot of the old sexy Jolie films and is now all aboard the woman's revolution making Laura Craft a strong female role model now. I personally loved the new rebooted games and got the feel from the trailers that they would follow the games so I sparked my blunt in hoping it would be good.

Story 


The story was so-so. It was kinda boring at times and the overall plot felt really stupid at the beginning, but I believe it smoothened out some over the course of the movie. The story was kinda hurt by being based off a game because they tried to incorporate game elements into a movie which turned out to be a terrible choice.

Characters 

The characters in the movie are pretty much all bland except for Laura. Vikander did pretty well in the role she was given and the character was pretty faithful to the game character in some ways, although she does make some really really stupid choice in the movie that would have made the situation a lot easier. The rest of the characters are not even memorable. Her dad, boring. The villain, just as boring, the Asian love/not love interest useless. This movie really lacked on character development for any character not named Laura Croft.

Visuals

I saw this movie in IMAX and I’ll say it was worth it. It isn’t the most beautiful movie and does have its flaws( near the end) but overall I thought it held up enough. It did a good job of taking my high ass to the fictional island and made me feel like I was going through the obstacles with her as well at times.


Faithful to the games


Overall the film did a good job of capturing elements from the game into the movie bring back memories of me staying up late playing this game while lifted. The boat scene and the plane scene both feel snatched from the game The story was a little shaky and the movie felt like it came to a standstill a lot which is not something you want out of your big blockbuster movie.This movie gets a 2 and a half blunts out of 5. It isn't the worst video game But it certainly isn't the savor of them. But hey, if they made another one( and trust me they want to make one so bad) I’d spark up a blunt and go watch it.

So do you think this film saves video game movies? Would you rather get high and watch this or play the game instead? Let us know and make sure to follow us on Twitter @stonereviewz and on Facebook Stoner Reviez to stay up to date on the latest in news from a higher perspevtive.

Cargo (2018) - Netflix Movie Review

-

"Netflix decided they might as well try their luck in the zombie movie franchise, and it might have worked" Cargo is the newest Netflix original movie directed by Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke and stars Martin Freeman as a man who is trying to survive a zombie apocalypse, until one day he is bitten and now has 48 hours to find a safe place for his young daughter before he turns into a zombie himself. The film takes an interesting and personal approach to the zombie apocalypse not really focusing on the zombies, but on martin freeman's character and his quest to find a safe place for his daughter. The premise sounds interesting enough, but could these directors make a fresh post-apocalyptic movie, or is this just another generic zombie movie that we will forget about? Well, let's see as I will give you all the highs and all the downers and overall tell you whether or not this movie is worth blazing and turning on Netflix for. Highs  Enter...

Overboard - Movie Review

-

"A remake of a movie that no one wanted, this should be good." Overboard directed by Gary Marshall stars Kurt Russell and..oh wait, sorry that's the wrong one. Overboard directed by Rob Greenberg stars Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez and is a remake of the 1987 film that starred Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The original movie focuses on a rich spoiled asshole heiress who goes overboard and gets amnesia and is tricked by Russell's character into believing she is his wife as repayment for her being an asshole to him. The remake follows a pretty similar story, almost beat for beat, but this time decided to switch the roles of course, or else it wouldn't be original. No one was really calling for this remake, hell not a lot of people even liked the original. So I was not looking forward to this movie. But could this movie surprise me and maybe even be better than the original or should this remake be thrown overboard? Highs Cas...

Adrift (2018)- Movie Review

"An inspiring true story of a woman lost at sea being brought to the big screen, well the sea could have kept this story" Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormakur and loosely follows the real-life survival story of Tami Oldham, played by Shailene Woodley, and her lover Richard Sharp, played by Sam Claflin,  as they try to survive while stranded at sea after being hit by a massive storm. It was inevitable that Hollywood would turn this interesting story of survival into a movie, but just cause her true story was interesting doesn't mean they could make a movie that would be the same.  Did Kormakur manage to turn Tami's story of survival at sea into a worth wild film, or should Hollywood have just left this idea adrift at sea? Well, that's what you got me for to tell you all the highs and all the downers that I got from this film and let you know whether this film is worth a hit or a pass that might just blow your movie-goi...
