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.

Unsane Movie Review

The horror thriller that was shot completely on an iPhone, hopefully, it's not as cheap as it looks. Unsane is the latest movie by Steven Soderbergh that was shot completely on an iPhone camera (and probably some software we cant afford). The movie Stars Claire Foy as Sawyer who is paranoid that her stalker is still following her, but when she tries to get help get locked into a mental institute, now if you don't need a blunt after a day like that.  Could you tell it was on an iPhone? I mean it was shot on an iPhone 7 plus, of course, you can tell it was shot on an iPhone. as soon as I saw the trailer I could tell that it was just someone shooting on the iPhone it looks like a straight to CW film, but it was impressive how good Soderbergh could make it work though. I can't even get a good 30 second snap from my iPhone, but his ass can make a feature film and get it nationally released with his.  If only I had that kinda talent, but anyways, Soghher made a big de

"Who took home the number one spot, and who need a session to get those numbers higher in this week's highs and downers" Box Office Top 5 (Domestic US Totals) 1. A Quiet Place- 50 Mil 2. Ready Player One - 25 Mil 3. Blockers- 21.4 Mil 4.  Black Panther- 8.4 Mil 5. I Can Only Imagine- 8.3 Mil (For full results visit  Box Office Mojo ) Highs  A Quiet Place  No surprise as one of the best films of the year has taken the number one spot with a whopping 50 mil during its opening weekend, not bad for a borderline silent film. The movie had everything you could ask for in a horror film great story, great characters, and pretty good scares. This film is definitely a high you need to experience, but remember to stay quiet. Blockers For a comedy that I didn't think was gonna be too funny, it exceeded my expectations and did pretty good for itself in the box office making 21.4 mil its opening weekend against some pretty good movies. I personally liked the

"All of this week's trailers rolled into one joint" Every week we get flooded with trailer, some good and some bad.  Its hard to keep up with all of them, so we thought we'd help you out by at least letting you see the ones worth watching. Here are 5 of the latest most talked about trailers that dropped this past week all rolled up into one joint. The Happy Time Murders  Release Date: August 17,2018 The Happy Time Murders stars Melissa McCarthy as a police officer who is tasked to solve a string of puppet murders, who are basically a second class race. Although this movie features puppets it is definitely not something you want to take your kids to see. I didn't really have much interest in this movie until I saw this trailer and couldnt stop laughing. it is just, the first trailer, but if this is what we can expect I think ill have a good time getting blazed and going to see this movie.  Mowgli  Release: October 19, 2018 No, I'
