  • this looks so freaking pro. for a fan film and low budget filming especially years ago, this is amazing. the female lead is also beautiful and doing well with all the action scenes and all the acting is quite smooth and natural. keep it up. though i'd like to see one filmed now with DSLRs and better lenses and so forth. i reckon it would look even more amazing now

  • though she does not look like lara croft and i prefer angie this looks cool for a fan film i'd watch it!

  • for those who cant read: this is a fan film, its NOT a production by universal, warner bros. or something... i think the trailer is way better than any other fan film trailers. okay, the quality could be better, but the ones who say that shes ugly need to buy glasses!

  • Is it possible to buy this on DVD somewhere??

  • ANGELINA JOLIE without you in TR the movie will be bullshit

    Thats the cheapest trailer ive ever seen

  • @TheLoGHT Make a better Fan Film.

  • she is too ugly to be lara croft..lara should be beautiful and hot

  • she dont even look like lara croft

  • Actually, this is like an extension or a copy-paste of the first film (with A.J.). I am so mad about TR so I will watch it, I find it's still a good one! :)

  • is a shit. Shit raider!

  • For a fan movie i think it's good!

  • Lara Gutierrez: Dub Raider

  • They could´ve chosen a better Lara IMO. And showed more of her, if you know what I mean. After all, like it or not, it´s a game for males haha

  • Qué tiene la mujer rubia en la boca en el minuto 1:56?

  • all the fan films might be cheap but they do sure love lara croft :D

  • It was a great movie for being fan made! It was extremely decent. I felt it dragged just a tad around the fireside chat with Winston, but that really didn't affect my outlook on the movie as a whole. The movie was only an hour long and definitely worth the watch. I definitely enjoyed Anna much more than Angelina (no offense to the first movies). I just feel that Anna matches Tomb Raider more in my mind than Angelina. Great job; I hope to hear about a sequel sometime!

  • As a Tomb Raider fan since the first game, it looks pretty good & hope one day to see the fan film in its entirety. I tried searching online but to no avail. Hopefully one day this would be up for sale to add to my TR collection.

  • i though lara was cute

  • this movie look sooooo cheap :S

  • @darkenspeed that's kind of the point of a fanfilm- total budget £15000 :) mainly for helicopter, plane and hummer hire- all cast worked for free and rest of budget used for transport, catering and hotels

  • @AquilaTV I saw this film once, how can I see it again? The site doesn't work for me. :(

  • I appreciate them who made this movie. Even it's a low budget independent movie, I think it's great. I haven't watch it, soon. But I think it's good :)

  • Eh, some people are just stupid. :(

    Trailer looks awesome! I was a Lara cosplayer myself I know how much it takes to put everything together, let alone to do a movie.. Great work!

  • Already downloading this...yeah Angelina looks more like Lara...but this one looks like a younger one...looks VERY good

  • hi. I wanna watch this all but I can't access the site. its just a picture that says "everything has a beginning" with a picture of her and i can't click on anything. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  • @PalasAthenea why thank you! :D

  • @CherryPrincess2012 The Lara Croft in the video game looks too much like a F.M. doll.

  • terrible

  • @PalasAthenea

    Uh, insults are so great when you lack a proper response to anything. How are my comments stupid? They are subjective and based on fact. You may not agree with people on Angelina "being" Lara, but that's how many people feel, and that's what I pointed out. HOW is that stupid or "retarded"?

  • its not tomb raider withour angelina Jolie.

  • This is an excellent film, despite being "low-budget".

    I downloaded the full movie expecting it to suck, cos you know, low budget and such...

    All I can say after watching it is "Wow." Sure there aren't any big budget special effects, but it had me glued to the screen from start to finish. This movie is 100x better than the two "official" films, which didn't hold my interest at all...

    Here's to hoping we'll see a sequel to Ascension someday. Great job, Aquila and Mr. Reynolds.

  • @PalasAthenea thanks for your feedback

  • @touchinstinct bear in mind that this is a not for profit fan film- its out there on the torrents somewhere :)

  • is this actually worth watching?the trailer looks good, though problem i find is low budget and fan made films tend to not be to my appealing. anyway if you can convince me otherwise, then go for it. any chance on a summary of the storyline, and how it ties in with the game, apart from the main things?

    also have to say, that girls make a hell of a better looking lara than jolie does

  • It doesn't tie in with the story at all.

    at the beginning she's on the plane to the Himalayas with her mother at the age of 17...when her bother died 8 years before that lol. it makes no sense. but its just a fan film and they've made a huge effort so its deffo worth watching I think :D

  • @markyj07 don't watch it if you are not conviced.. This man is doing great job and yet not-profit.. because he's talented he made this within a very low-budget.

    GUYZ, keep the good work and goodluck

  • @markyj07 Are you fucking serious? Angelina Jolie was destined for Tomb Raider. She is the most perfect person for it and you couldn't find a better match. I think there's something wrong in your head, get yourself checked out.

  • @markyj07 holy shit they are equally as fit.... joile got the body while thos one has the looks and the body... i still think jolie is the better one and ive seen this film :P

  • this is a trailer for the movie- can you read ?

  • Que bolazo!!! Parece una novela venezolana esta cosa!!!

  • Interessante. Sempre apoio esse tipo de Iniciativa. :)

  • Interessantíssimo!! Justamente por ser um filme feito por fãs.

  • Good Fan Film and a lot better than Street Fighter: The Legend of ChunLi, which was made by Hollywood execs that had no idea what Street Fighter was about.

  • Legend of Chun Li was made by Capcom

  • yeah the Chun Li was so bad, atleast the original movie with Van Damm had the characters looks correctly.

  • Comment removed

  • A idéia, a história, foram ótimas, mas o elenco (atores) poderia ter sido melhor. O método de filmagem/fotografia deveria estar melhor.

    Mas, parabéns pela iniciativa. =)

  • I really liked it, congrats to the whole team. In most parts it felt much more true to the games than the Hollywood versions. The whole cast did surprisingly well. I actually prefer Annas version of Lara over Angelinas, for being more "human", less superhero, but still kicking ass where it fits.

    Costumes are imo better than anything Eidos ever brought up for their booth babes.

    Editing on the fight scenes was bad though.

    I`d like to see follow up episodes, like a "Young Lara" mini-series =)

  • I actually enjoyed this movie quite a bit.

  • yesterday i bought the dvd it is waste of money

  • Where did you buy the DVD as it's never been sold ever? would be interested to know! :)

  • I Bought it in Pirated Market and You Can Also Watch It Online

  • I know its online- it was no 3 i the torrents for some time- but didn't know that some one was selling it on pirate vids. We made it for no profit- so interesting to see what's happened with it. Do you think that people think its an original movie rather than a fanfilm?

  • Yes Some may Think

  • you can download it directly email me

  • The voice is the only comparison with Lara Croft, Also the body is good, but the face... What the hell, thats not Lara?!

    The mansion realy looks like the Game mansion, the butler is way better then the one in the angelina Jolie movies.

    Maybe it follows the story line more parralel to the games. I hope so...

  • ghettooo LOL

  • the girl looks hot and thats it lol

  • Comment removed

  • this is stupid !!

  • believe me, I've seen it and it's better than the jolie movies. that is if you can appreciate a movie from all aspects and not just special effects.

  • Link to watch it doesn't work anymore..

  • Me asombró, y me gustó. Muy cerca del personaje del videojuego.

  • Stop with the fades! Dear lord

  • pero k es esto??? esto no es tomb raider, mira k angelina jolie no era santo de mi devoción y despues de hacer la segunda pelicula, pero esto... pero si parece la prota de bea la fea, amos no me jodas, ni rasgos faciales parecidos, ni nah de nah

  • Comment removed

  • I liked it, not holywood but worth seeing. Better then a majority of the movies i have seen. Yes, its not top notch, but was Jumper, Max Payne, Indiana Jones 4?

  • lol oh trust me i know its crap im not defending the movie just say angelina jolie isnt the type you'd have picture on expeditions for artifacts lol ive given up on video/anime/comic book remakes lol

  • 2:08-2:09, best part of the ENTIRE movie.

  • She doesn't look anything like Angelina Jolie.. And this movie is way way way to under budgeted to be any good.

  • Comment removed

  • Well i like it :D

    good job.

  • haha 1:56 is freaky lol

  • How low was this film's budget?

  • i am a tomb raider video gamer for many years and i didnt think angelina jolie fit the profile no one can its a game character sheesh hitman was a crappy movie too because of peoples expectations it caused alot of uproar. remember whats reality and fiction

  • It's a feckin FAN film... GAL

  • Fan films = epic fail. Always.

  • angelina has stupid lips. & no one could have the hips to boobies ratio the game portrays. may watch it when i'm really bored. looks OK, finished every game except anniversary. last one too bloody short. 2 days tops. revelation took weeks.

  • Oh bloody hell. One person makes an insult and others just jump on the bandwagon.

    Instead of spending your time insulting it, leave the damn page and go do something productive with YOUR lives. These people made it for FUN. And no offence, "WHERES ANGELINA?!111" Angelina is NOT Lara Croft, ANYONE can play her. The hollywood movies sucked anyway. I'd understand if you were giving constructing crit, but "LAME" is hardly helping. I doubt you could do this.

    ad to get that off my chest.

  • To a lot of people Angelina Jolie IS Lara Croft.

  • Well those people arn't true fans. Lara Croft is a game character made out of pixels. Which is why ANYONE can play her.

  • It's not for you to decide who's a real fan and who isn't.

  • Its not for them to decide who can play Lara and who can't.

    Anyway. Im done with this argument.

  • Is it for you to decide? You may not agree with Angelina "being" Lara Croft, but, as I said earlier, to many she is, and these people have a right to state that they wish to see her resume the role.

  • Yeh w.e

    But, don't you think its rude to moan about Angelina not being in a fanfilm?

    When Angelina isnt in the 3rd REAL film, be my guest and moan. But I think its incredibly rude to moan about it when its a fanfilm.

  • Yes, of course I do! Never, ever did I defend the rudeness of complaining and moaning about her not being in a fanfilm. However, I did not respond to that, but to your stating that Angelina is NOT Lara Croft, when she indeed has become quite synonymous with the name to many, many people.

  • Okay :) Well thats all I had a problem with.

    Even though Angelina has brought alot to Lara's name, I still do not believe she should be labeled as Lara. The character has been around scince before Angelina played her, and has been played by numerous models also.

  • Angelina jolie was born for that role. No one can replace her I guess

  • Yep NO ONE CAN REPLACE ANGELINA JOLIE, EVER

    but this is a fan film, so it is awesome in its own way...just think as a fan movie, NOT as a Tomb Raider Official movie =]]

    I think she did a pretty job, she may not have the looks like the Lara croft from of the GAME or Angelina Jolie from the movie, but she is nice and cool Lara in her own way...

    All the girls feel like Lara in someway, all the girls have the, GIRL POWER, so anyone is a lara croft in their own way,

    but its my thoughts,

    Peace...

  • When you put it that way, I kinda agree with you.

  • Thanx dude =]] and now i know that ur kinda nice guy =]] haha,

  • Comment removed

  • Just watched the movie, ok so it's not a big budget film, and it does tells you that but damn, she can act, and by that i dont mean she knows how to flash her boobs everywhere, she has great facial expressions and i think it does great credit to the game

  • Comment removed

  • Looks bloody awesome! Very nicely done, and the lead is rather pretty. (And damn, she can act!)

  • angelina 4-ever

  • you have to be joking....

  • hahah that looks absolutely wikced!

  • Ok, the girl is by far not good looking enough to be lara croft, but for being fan made, this movie is really good, the story is better than the one with jolie in it. If only it was made with a bigger budget it be freaking brilliant! And also, the actors voices are alot simillar to the voices in the games.

  • You haters need to shut the fuck up.

    You go ahead and try to make a movie and then we will invade your youtube page and tell you that your movie sucks.

  • I think you guys did an awesome job! I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did~ and the action scene at the end was awesome! Especially the backflips and stuff. :) It's amazing how much you can do with such a little budget! I actually enjoyed this movie as much as I enjoyed the "Official Movie" and that one had a 115 million dollar budget. XD

  • i like it when angelina jolie was laura croft .

  • That is pretty awesome for a Fan Film.

    Better than Tomb Raider 2 which I walked out of. No shark punching in this one...

  • wats this, turkish tomb raider...........

  • Would love to see your efforts if you think this is bad!

    For the budget and the fact it was driven by an enthusiastic director and production company in Birmingham I think it is a real achievement!

  • Al that its missing is Esmeralda,or Casndra or some Maria......

  • Good effort, look forward to watching it =]

  • Great work Keep it up.

  • Thank u 2 those posting positive comments. We put so much effort into this film, with little time + money, for the love of it. It was never trying to rival the big films nor was I tryin 2 b like the stunning Angelina...We were just making a fanfilm. No need 4 people 2 b so rude. So positive comments are always welcome.

  • wasnt tryin to be mean wen i saw it i thought it was the latest installment to the series i just got a big shock coz i wasnt expecting that so il watch it again in the spirit of a fan film, but in futre maybe you could make tht apparent tht this is not part of the series because its like buyin a rolls royce with a skoda motor u can imagine the disappointment.

  • brilliant job... keep it up

  • Anna, let me congratulate you on a job well done. You don't need to be Angelina - you are a very beautiful lady. All the actors were very impressive and the dialogue was natural. I knew this was a fan film and was surprised at how well made it turned out to be. It was like watching something on BBC. I enjoyed it and I like that music when you(Lara) was sliding down the rope. Thanks to all involved for entertaining me. Hopefully you make more movies in the future.

    joe wegesa

  • This film is ten times better than the two Hollywood adaptions. It has better acting, better directing, a better plot, and a better lead. It proves you don't need a big budget to make a satisfying action flick.

  • ye n fairies collect teeth

  • heights of madness

  • Shes hot but hardly Angelina like is she?

  • As a moviegoer i think it looks like crap, perhaps ther ecould have been some camerafilters to make it look less like it was made on a regular DV-cam.

    but as a moviemaker I am really impressed by this! I know how hard it is to make an idea alive and actually be descent in the end. For a low budget movie it's really really good. With some more money this could have been awesome, like some improvements on battlechoreography and colorfilters, just details like that. GREAT JOB!

  • God!! This is a low budget movie and kills those shitty movies like doom, max payne and especially bloodrayne which all had much higher budget. Yes girl could be hotter but im gay so i dont care about that.

  • she looks ALOT like a friend's gf :O

  • Lol, this movie is nr 1 of the Piratebay top 100 movies.

  • It doesnt look high budget but the action secuences look good and so does the acting! Seen a lot worse!

  • this is #1 on Pirate Bay's

    total top 100 right now :)

  • Where's liam neeson to help her overcome her fear?

  • DOWNLOADING IT!

  • Haha, hey it actually looks good! I'll watch it too, and thanks for giving us more "tomb raider" xD

  • I think as a Fan flick, much like the Gollum one for LOTR, this is great. People are very judgement these days with the advent of instant messaging and the need to vomit their emotional diarrhea. People "tweet" all the time about the littlest of brain farts. I thoroughly enjoy a fan flick and admire all the hard work that goes into it.

    Cheers from England

  • Nicely Shot & Cut! Look forward to seeing the full film.

  • I think people need to realize that this a FANFIC, not a studio-produced release, not a sequel or prequel, nothing official, it is something people who liked the Tomb Raider franchise and decided to make a FAN FICTION.

    I have no idea how people can't use their brains to figure that part out.

  • thanks for helping point that out! hope you've had achance to see the whole film, its only on the torrentz now:(

  • Who's play lara croft?

  • I like the hummer action personally.

  • It looks like a one of those cheap soft porn movies without the nudity. So its bad in all respects! How did they even get a license for using the TombRaider name??

  • no need for a license as it's a fanfilm/ no money can be made from this- it is purely an exercise to see what could be done in 7 days! also have you seen the while film, because i'd like to see who's giving you soft porn that looks like this! they're ripping you off :)

  • Very nice for a fanmade movie.

  • I'm off to bed now, so play nice or your comments will be removed! you don't have to like the trailer for this film, just be constructive! sleep tight :)

  • COOL! :D

  • I think the trailer rocks and lara is hot, totally appreciate the movie and i feel sorry for the teenagers who are transfixed on cgi and sex based films that have been coming out ..

  • cool fan mvie

  • lol easy dude all that doesn't matter the story sucked and the actress is not even 5% lookalike of lara

    maybe if this was released way before angelina jolie stared in like 2 movies for tomb raider then it would be worth watching

  • that's not the point of a fanfilm tho' It is supposed to be a little tribute to the game more than the films anyway, but you're entitled to your opinion, just keep it clean please!

  • hehe sorry didn't know that "lame" and "sucked" were such filthy word .. i apologize :D

    you're the one who did all this fuss, ya know!

  • your comments are not the ones in question, please note that i have left them on here for all to see, the ones i refer to are removed for really bad language or racism which I don't have to tolerate! you are not being rude! :)

  • lame

  • have you managed to catch the film in full yet?

  • failure

  • in what way is it a failure?:)

  • In what way ain't this a failure?

  • A fanfilm made in 7 days, on less than £20000 pounds- in multiple locations, which has had over 60000 views in full length without any advertising, which has also inspired the direction of other Lara projects! I like that kind of failure then!

  • well to be honest; you can't make a good film in seven days, and it shows. im sorry.

  • that's fine,if that's how you feel, sorry not to make something to your taste, but it is only a little game fanfilm, made as a tribute!

  • after watchin the film with the knowledge tht its a fan film i think its really good n wana say well done to all im an actor n know how hard it is to make such a production and attracting 60000 people so i understand that this is a fan film but i think everybody was expecting to see the actual Tomb raider film based on the title used, it was a shock because i had no warning its like going home with a woman n findin out its a guy, apart from tht keep goin, just stay away from household brnd names

  • unfortunately the renewed interest in our little fanfilm has crashed our godaddy server today with over 9000 views in a few hours of the actual film! we have had to take it down as our main business site was in jeopardy too! It is no longer available in full on our site, so apologies! we see that it somehow has made it on to the torrent sites where it is being downloaded by 30000+ people at the moment!

  • SHOT IN 7DAYS!!! on 20 thousand pound!!!!!!!!!!!!!, not many people on the planet can do that. people are missing the point here. what a shame!

  • they wasted 20000 pounds on this? jesus christ...

  • mostly for helicopters, blanks, hummer hire, location fees and hotel/catering... all actors/crew etc worked for free!

  • this awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hats off, superbly done, all things considered

  • a fan made movie eh. Not bad for a low budget film. It's not easy making movies, especially on a low budget. A solid effort, gotta give em props for that.

  • looks like a home made movie. LOL!

  • shouldn't lara croft be alot hotter?

  • you're missing the point!

  • U racist idiots.u r just a kind of plague in this society of human beings.How can u classify a peron by their religion or colour or region?I knw y, thts bcoz u r all morons who knws nothing abt nothing.u shd appreciate and criticise a persons ability and their wrk and not whther thy are jew,christians,muslims,hindus, buddhists.I think u racists r actually incapable of doin nythng.Nvr listn 2 ths ppl, they are virus whch needs 2b destryd, nt by hurting them but by changing their way of thinking

  • thanks for your support- Racism is an unnecessary evil and only through creative thought and interaction that we can change peoples perceptions- hope you liked the little fanfilm we made!

  • this is a movie like the hunt of gollum? independent\ low budget?

  • it is a fan film made on a low budget, for fun!

  • thanks for your comment, unfortunately i am removing it due to negative comments that it is drawing- your support is appreciated though :)

  • In this movie Lara is 17; there is no way that Angelina could play in it, even if it were an original production.

  • That plane crash... From the start, happens really when Lara's SIX...she's is really mature six years old...

    yup.

    Also her mother DIED, and her father died when she was SIXTEEN...

    -.-'
