3. More Jumping (And Bad CGI)

It gets worse, though. In case you hadn't seen enough of Lara jumping in this trailer, she does it again as part of the tomb seems to start crumbling around her.

Lara performs a desperate running jump, again with superhuman athleticism, as she uses her trusty pickaxe to gingerly grip the side of a ledge.

The CGI is, once again, comically bad, making a blurry mess out of what should be an epic movie moment. The scene, like so many others in this trailer, might've been more effective if it was remotely convincing that a person could actually perform it.
