Tomb Raider Ascension (2008)[dvdrip][Ahashare]

-------------------------------------
Except for Ms. Pac-Man, Lara Croft is arguably the best-known female video game character ever. As the ¡°star¡± of Edios¡¯ Tomb Raider series, sporting a British accent, sleek moves and outfits that pack more than pistols, Croft walks the precariously thin line between post-feminist icon and fanboy drool instigator.

As a result, it might seem easy to make a movie based on her, but both the Tomb Raider feature films were abysmal junk, and most fan efforts to date have haven¡¯t done her justice either. These factors make the brand-new fan production, Tomb Raider: Ascension, all the more surprising¡ªit¡¯s a great flick that simply leaves other incarnations of Croft and Co. in its dust.

Here¡¯s a fan film that feels like a feature¡ªnot necessarily in terms of budget (though it¡¯s not chintzy), but rather due to the quality of writing, acting, editing and camerawork. Throughout the movie, time and again, the usual fan film pitfalls are avoided. For instance¡ªand it¡¯s no small thing¡ªthe actors interact; they¡¯re not merely reciting lines. For that matter, they¡¯re all different ages,too¡ªsomething of a rarity in fan movies..
