Re: Fresh takes in old genres.

Yup, eternally here for more of this kind of movie. Particularly if it's a bit gritty and the protagonist feels not too much larger than life.

I really liked 10 Cloverfield Lane for this. The female protagonist is just a normal person; she's not a badass and she spends the entire movie understandably terrified. But she's in a horrifying situation and she fights hard for her own life, in a way that feels realistic and authentic.

It's a pretty mid movie, IIRC, but I feel like the Alicia Vikander version of Tomb Raider delivers a female protagonist who braves crazy danger and takes a lot of damage. IDK if it's too much on the "artfully torn clothes" side of things. My recollection is that it's not too bad on that front, but I only saw it once, so I could be misremembering.

As a fan of the Tomb Raider reboots, I was so disappointed in that movie. Mostly for the plot changes, but I also thought Vikander was a miscast.

As someone who knows fuck all about the game in any capacity, I quite liked Vikander in the role. She felt like an actual person to me, and physically I loved that Vikander was a combination of girlish femininity and lean, compact strength. It was the first time I'd had any real interest in Laura Croft or the Tomb Raider story. But it did seem to be unpopular with fans of the games. To each their own.

Not an unusual experience when it comes to game adaptations. People who come into them blind tend to enjoy it more and for what it is than people who come in with prior expectations. I think the fewer barriers between adaptations of games to movies, as opposed to books to movies, make it a bit harder to disconnect between the two.
