Tomb Raider Trailer Breakdown: 17 Things You Need To See

8. Lara Takes A Dip

In another moment ripped straight from the video games, Lara finds herself on the run from what's presumed to be Vogel's men, when she slips off a log, her hands presumably still bound, and falls into the waterfall below.

It's one of the trailer's few surprisingly decent CGI shots and bears an exceptional likeness to its video game equivalent. Hopefully even with its PG-13 rating, the movie will manage to capture the savageness of Lara's battle against nature.

They could probably do with re-dubbing her falling cry, though. It sounded pretty weird and even unintentionally comical.
