Tomb Raider Trailer Breakdown: 17 Things You Need To See

4. Excessive CGI Traps

It's more probable that the bulk of the tomb raiding will involve Lara evading various death traps, brought to life with more questionable CGI, of course.

Lara can be seen running down a sloped path as a spiked pillar slides in her direction, and someone else follows just behind her (probably Lu Ren).

Lara avoids the spikes but another pillar then emerges, which she leaps over with a basically superhuman level of skill, before sliding further down the path and narrowly avoiding some more spikes that pass mere inches above her face (in slow-mo, of course).

This is probably the part where the movie is going to start losing people, let's be honest.
