Generally, when a movie is made from a video game, it bombs. This movie is no different. It relies too much on the game for Lara's development as a character, and that is all it holds true to the game. In the game she was a rogue, and her father disowned her becuase of her tomb raider-ways. In the movie, she had help from several others and her father wanted her to be an archeologist(like him).
The action sequences were weak and unbelievable. Terrible character development. The ending, not the resolution, was just bad. Personally I think it would've been a bit better had it alluded to the games(specifically the very first one with the Scion and Atlantis). It seems the plot of the movie was somewhat based on that, but altered. The game had an artifact called the Scion which 'gave the holder powers of God himself'. The abuse of that power led to the downfall of Atlantis. The Scion was divided and hidden across the earth. The movie had the Triangle of Light which gave its holder the 'power of God and time'. The abuse of that power led to the downfall of that city. The triangle was divided and hidden across the earth.
I rate it 5/10. My suggestion is wait for the movie to come out on video, and just play the games.

i went to see this movie with a group of buds late on friday the 13th. this was one of the worst 2 hours and $5.25 i've ever spent. the plot was shotty, the character development was non-existent, and the ending was just plain bad. another 'end of the world' flick that has no point. there was no action sequences, the so called 'exorcism' scenes were incredibly weak, the character backgrounding was so loose that i didnt understand a whole lot even at the end when it was all s'posed to come together. even the first exorcism in the opening scene was almost pulled straight from The Exorcist.
so to put it all short; DONT SEE THIS, WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY

Back in the day when there weren't 32-bit processors and 10 button controls, there was The Legend of Zelda. I grew up on the game and it still remains(to this day) my favorite video game of all time. I still have an original Nintendo and a Zelda cartridge, but the Nintendo doesn't work all too well. If it did, I would spend more time playing that game.
The Legend of Zelda is the ORIGINAL Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider.
