Pretty cute/hot, still doesn't make me want to see this "reboot". The first one was enough for me.

if this is following the new tomb raider, and done correctly, this should be hard PG-13 to R, great story and gameplay, just hope the movie lives up to the game and story. the sequel game would be prepped for a sequel movie. But from the pictures it appears to be spot on.

It'll definitely be PG-13. But that's fine. The 2013 reboot game has a good basic story that hinges on her relationship with her now deceased father while having a fun/dangerous adventure. If the movie can capture the basic essence of that game's story without being bogged down by camp I think it could be fairly good.

but then i am comparing it to the game its self which is rated M, that is where i was going with it, there are some graphic moments, maybe WB will do the whole Unrated cut when its released on disc?

The game gets most of its graphic moments from failure cut scenes when Laura dies (and the game also has M rating language). So no need to include those in the movie.

Looks good in the trailer. Here's hoping they can make her character one the audience cares about and have more to the story than just running and jumping.

Yeah, I watched that trailer last night and now I'm very interested in it. I'm a big fan of Alicia!

Quite a leap on that girl...

Looks like they'll be incorporating bits of the story of the 2013 video game, but not doing a straight re-telling of it. Sounds like a good plan.

Looks like Indiana Jones in modern times. It might work even better than an old Indy.

Alicia looks great, but that trailer didn't do much of anything for me. Seems to be nothing more than formulaic paint-by-numbers CGI action dreck riddled with groaner one-liners. Hopefully I'm wrong.

She put in a lot of training for this role. She looks buff like Linda Hamilton did for Terminator 2.

thats what i don't get, a lot said she looks to thin and waifish, because she is not AJ; Seriously, the woman i saw in that becoming video looks like she could kick a lot of "guys" asses and they are just afraid to admit it. Makes me want to blow the dust of the PS3 and play the game a little this weekend! :D

People need to watch that video at the 2 minute mark and tell me she is too thin. Her upper arms and shoulders tells you all you need to know. She trained to be a ballerina early in her life, I say she has a lot of strength in that medium height frame.
