Tomb Raider Trailer Breakdown: 17 Things You Need To See

2. Even More Jumping

Once again, that's sadly not it for Lara's implausible jumps. Lara can briefly be seen standing on the wing of a plane (presumably the one she gets the parachute from earlier in the trailer) just as it's about to break apart.

She does the only thing she possibly can, by taking a running jump toward the plane's fuselage, but once again, the leap is comically exaggerated more than any human would realistically be capable of, and it just looks rather daft, counter to the typically more "grounded" tone of the newer Tomb Raider games.

Nobody said this movie needs to be 100% realistic, but let's not make Lara a superhero now.
