10 years later and I still come back to watch this!
Me too😢
I'm a new viewer while waiting for tomb raider unreal engine 5 😊😊😊
How did this slip under the radar!? Thanks to Niko and crew for teasing and recommending this. Life XP was great, but this was something new and incredible
Absolutely one of the best fan made films I’ve seen. I watch it regularly
The moment where she gets the second pistol was PERFECT! This film was insane.
Best scenes
I'm going to assume that the bad guys learned to shoot at the storm trooper academy?
+Worse than Australian politics xD
+Worse than Australian politics I was thinking they learned from the Klingons.
Lol
+Worse than Australian politics xd
Lol! So true!
THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE. I WOULD WATCH THE WHOLE THING IN A HEARTBEAT. Beautifully made
I SAW THIS WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED. RAN ACROSS IT TODAY. IT IS STILL FANTASTIC. BEST FAN FILM I'VE SEEN!
Deserves the "Fan Film" Oscar Award...
Though it picked up in progress, it checked all the boxes...action, suspense, right down to the tear at the end...mine.
,👍👍😎
This has been nothing but 20 minutes of awesomeness. Thank you for making the good movie we will never have on the big screen.
One of the the best fan films I've ever seen. Thank you. People can hate, critique and analyze all they wish, but good is good. Very well done.

woww..amazing ...the best fan film...verry nice ...

Great work and congratulations!! Incredible acting, absolutely amazing fight choreography, fantastic directing, awesome sound and camera work. One of the best fan films I've ever seen.
10 years later... still stunning! Still legendary! Thank you, lots of love and happiness.
So, 20 minutes of fan made film just blew Hollywood out of the competition.
Well played.
the fight scene between her and the dudes righthand man was so legit, because you could actually see what they were doing without a ridiculous amount of cuts or shakey cam like in most action movies today
What a heroic acting by the lady, hats off to her. Very nice filming. God bless her.
What an exquisite short film! It really captures Lara’s skills and tenacity.
Excellent 👍🏻
There are two ways to interpret this:
1: the little girl was Lara and when the hero died she modeled her life after the person who saved her and became the Lara she is today.
2: the hero was Lara and when she died the little girl took her name to honor her
pretty much and people talkin here crap about how the little girl is lara.
I'd say option 2... you know, as a way to say our favorite heroes are kind of eternal and we can follow their path if we're strong enough. Many men (well, here, women) under the same mask/name. Like, "do you believe in yourself enough to take up the outfit?" that kind of things. I like the ritual aspect of all this. The movie was awesome.
***** It almost looked like an official movie trailer to me when I first saw it.
How can them be? Real Lara picks RP accent, while the girl in blue picks generic American accent.
***** You can say that was a filming error?
this short film was like DAMN. As a hard core tomb raider fan I salute everyone from cast to crew. Brava!
Hello dear
one of the most amazing action sequences I've ever seen, professional or otherwise. Loved everything except the end.
The best video I have seen on CZcams hands down. Absolutely amazing visual storytelling, every hit had weight with it, 10/10
Holy hell, the fight choreography and the stunts are TOP NOTCH.. jesus, among the best I've seen on CZcams.
I'd even say they look better than a lot of blockbusters... It never looked like a punch was pulled and those jumps!
Why are people hating this? this was by probably the best fan movie I have seen to date and I have seen a lot. Great directing, great fight sequences, good acting, great plot even with a great twist. Its better then a lot of high budget series we see these day.
Great job, you can be realy proud!
i just luv it
This made me so emotional that I actually cried. This short film is a piece of art!
same here
Yea this was way better than anything Hollywood has done, well timed and I didn't feel like I had to cringe because the stuntmen were helping the main character looked like a believable fighter. No politics, just pure story and demonstration. Excellent musical score, decent acting and good use of environment.
Dude... that bit at the end was the best thing I've ever experienced.
wow, people criticizing are completely clueless about the amount of work that went into this phenomenal fan film
How much work went into it? Where is that info?
Ok
@@KALIMAindia
What, you can't figure it out? Wow...
@@packrat2113 No seriously, where is that info? Do you have a link?
Yeah you're right. As of today, it now has 10M views!
What got me was the ending! The 1950's chopper design, makes sense in the games chronology. I got the hunch 'who was who' when "she' fell off the cliff. Amazing fan film and story line deserving of the Lara Croft franchise.
“What’s your name?”
“Lara”
Awesome 👏
This was far better than the two Hollywood movies. Wow, and it's a fan film...amazing.
Dear god. This was amazing. The production value, the acting, THE STUNT WORK! Incredible. I absolutely loved it. I would have paid to see this and not felt cheated (as I have the last ten times I went to the theater). Well done.
This is actually really well done. The action shots were amazing.
Hello dear
This fan made / short film is so good! It was excellently executed: I have ALWAYS loved the Lara Croft mythology and ever-growing franchise. My God, what is there not to love?! As the Lara-like character is slicing, dicing, arrow shooting and actuating some utterly brilliant gunplay - the tears began to flow more and more down my cheeks in a constant stream. I did this with the Wonder Woman film as well: the German invasion, i.e., the confrontation on the beach...and the battle sequence with no man's land. Please, keep up the good work! Well done to the cast and crew, seriously. And for the actress who played the Lara-like character iteration: Girl, you bloody nailed it!
Poverty
I love how Lara is brutal but you can also see that in her eyes she really is no killer and despises killing. I mean look at her first kill in the 2018 tomb raider movie and also in tomb raider definitive edition the game. She does what it takes to survive and that makes her more loveable than if she was written to be a blood thirsty psycho killing anything that stands in her way.
These are some of the best fight sequences I've ever seen!! Amazing fan film!! The actress playing the hero is incredible!!
It had a slow start, but 1/3 through it got really nail-bitingly good. Awesome fight choreography and stuntwork. And the twist somehow made the game more believable, if Lara had a role model like this who inspired her. Kudos for the magnificent work!
Saved for later...
i agree
Croft has been crafted amazingly. Really I didn't close my eye till end of film . 👌✌️💪👍👌
bro, I can only say that this was the best fan movie of my life! I love Lara, I already played the tom raider and is very faithful to everything! the actress, the fight scenes! INCREDIBLE
Holy crap this was a good film! Seriously, the fights were awesomely choreographed, fluid, and acting was top notch, especially Lara, I almost believed she was actually crying! I can see that a lot of love went into this film, and it deserves every single praise! For a fan film, this is perfect. I'd pay to watch this in an instant! Seriously good job all around, especially during the "boss" fight, that was awesome!
This is incredible! I've never had goosebumps before from a short film. I was crying. Jesus ❤️ congrats to everyone involved, honestly better than some movies today

Hi dear 😚
honestly I enjoyed this more than the tomb raider movie. the slow motion scene with the axe is wow
Everything from the acting to the camera work is so good and professional
I am extreamly suprised what these guys call "Fan Made"... absolutely awesome and I liked it more than the Hollywood Tomb Raider movies
Im gonna clear it up for the idiots, the little girl was Lara when she was a kid, she was kidnapped i think and the woman who saved Her just happened to look like the Lara we know from the tomb raider games
I completely agree. And if you think about it, it's kinda obvious, too. The little Lara we know here could easily have grown up and simply adopted the style of dress and appearance when she matured as an homage to the heroine she knew as a kid. Kinda like honoring through imitation sort of thing. I thought the end was genius and a nice canon divergence. Don't know why that's so hard to understand or why so much people are ragging on this.
+Aracely Gutierrez all of it was a big fake out to the people watching worthy of a M. Night Shyamalan twist. it was pretty good better than a lot of Hollywood's versions of Lara
And u know this.......how? It's not set in stone stupid. It's left to the imagination. You can decide for yourself what the ending means.
+Aracely Gutierrez Isn't Lara Croft English, while the girl has an american accent?
ur right at the end she tells her name is lara
Fantastically done! The acting of the hero, the girl and even the man whom was protecting the girl...but most especially the superb and dynamic acting of the hero (whom is either Lara or is the inspiration for the young Lara). The guy whom played the enemy was okay but kind of soft and not too convincing as a menacing guy. He looks like he is better at working in a company's tech department. The mercenaries did great physical acting, but they can't shoot for crap! The scenery and cinematography are gorgeous & the music helped keep the pace. The emotional aspect was very touching and affecting! Better than a lot of studio, feature length films! Great job!
I have no words . This is incredible ! Very good movie . Well done everyone .
What is it with fan made short films being better than full length movies???? Lmao this was freaking awesome!!!!!!!
Because short films are more free and they don't have to be structured and they can just be a bundle of excitement like a trailer.
For example if you saw this as a movie if we take out the more amateurish and less budget factors you will still be furious about it because you just got some bad guys that you have no idea what they were after and who they are or why the main characters are in the location, what happened etc.
You accept it at a short film because is more like a game cinematic where you just want to see something and feel excitement but you will never accept such a thing in a full film.
Yeah what he said! That jump kick thing @11.48 was better than the movies AND the games put together.....weeeel.....maybe not the games.....
Cause fan made movies are made with love, the producers don't intend to make lots of money, so they don't ruin great characters to satisfy all of their viewers, they illustrate the characters they way they are meant to be.
Quite simply speaking? More heart and soul goes into it than a big budget film. It isn't about making money for these kinds of artists, it's about showing the world what their passion and skill, amplified by working together with like minded people, can birth.
What's with these excuses? This was well-shot, well-acted and well-cut. if this was a full-length film, there would be enough room to flesh out the story more.
that 1 on 1 fight scene was amazing!
A lot of effort went into this, way above the average fan film.
I am watching this for the umptieth time. This is another Arnold Schwarzenegger Commando movie. "Just Bodies" The reality of sacrifice for a friend is an age Long supreme price concept. Laura really had a Guardian Angel in the person of Croft. The lessons in this wonderful Movie are timeless indeed. I love the Action!
That was an awesome film. It gave me a different way of seeing the Laura Croft when she is grown. Kudos to all that made this work.
Absolutely brilliant. Can we give these guys more money to make this a feature length?
The best lara Croft FILM
I've ever seen in my life!
Really!
And whats with the ending?
Is that woman in blue seriously lara?
If it is, i think thats a surprisly end.
Like ;)
Damn... I really have no words for this beautiful piece of art
It's funny because it's look like more than the climax of a movie than a fan film. Well done !
Absolument magnifique
et pour les septique il faut bien avouer que les scènes de combats ne sont pas plus surjoué que dans certains autres film
Et même elles sont particulièrement bien faits, franchement, a part une ou deux fois ou c'etait un peu "surjoué" le reste etais franchement de haut niveau pour moi.
on dit sceptique, sinon c'est la fosse septique! vive la france les gars haha
Alexis BARDIN Ok merci de la précision je n'ai pas fais attention
C'est le principe d'un film les gars, faut avouer que les scène sont démente
WOW this was amazing... I honestly didn't think it would turn out to be this professional but should be made into a movie.
I’ve watched this so many times . Well done
Gave me chills ( good ones) when she said “Lara “😎

THAT AWESOME, PLEASE PART 2.
i mean this is incredibal its has amazing actors im just speechless
Exactly it was fucking amazing!!
Wow, seriously well done! 👏 Took me by surprise that the little girl was Laura. Kept me waiting to see what was around the next turn! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors!
Only just had this recommended to me. Very impressive labour of love to all things Tomb Raider. A believable lead who wouldn't look out of place in a professional movie. She was able to give the character a huge dose of desperation and vulnerability..not bad in only twenty minutes. Also amused at how the bad guys are so lousy at hitting an easy target..(a nice little dig in the ribs to most modern action movies made today I'd imagine) All in all, excellent production values across the board and even a nice little twist ending to boot. A solid 9/10
That was original, the music was so incredible. I loved it!!! I wish you guys can get a big budget for another. That was AMAMZING!!!!
THIS WAS AMAZING. I've watched this many times I loved this, great scenes, great job. Awesome Lara fan film ever.
Wow! These guys really excell at their Croft! Sorry. Couldn't resist. This was Fan-tastic. Seriously, this the best fan film I have ever seen. Outstanding.
Well done with the plot twist there. I can't remember ever being taken by surprise so much by a movie.
Better than official movies.
You confused then and than (but then you edited). But yeah, you're right.
asher taz Yea I know :D sorry and thanks :)
That was so deep that I thought it was a preview of an actual movie about to come out. The end with what the girl said was to deep. I loves that fact that the actors you picked looked like they had come out of the game. The moment when she gets a handgun in each of her hands, and stands on the hill is an epic moment (I want a poster of it). A true masterpiece....you should make a theatrical movie really soon.
Holy cow, it's like Hollywood spend a billion dollars on this. It's totally awesome. The girl playing Laura it's absolutely amazing
Lara* but yes you are totally right!
Watched it so often it never gets old. This is by far the best short film I´ve ever seen :)
That was fucking awesome
Your profile picture is fucking awesome.

Holy shit I totally did not see that ending coming. Awesome film. Great acting and soundtrack, camera work, writing, everything. Better than both official Tomb Raider movies. The assassin's comment about liking blondes should have tipped me off, but it didn't. Seriously, awesome job. This is killer.
Clear up the line about blondes for me?
Gary Cofield When that dude was dragging the "hero" by her hair, he said "You're lucky I like blondes." I immediately thought "Lara doesn't have blonde hair. How could they screw THAT up?" Well, the hero in this film does have streaks of blonde hair, but it's mostly brownish, because we are supposed to believe that she is Lara. Well (spoiler!) she is not Lara, and the bad guy's comment was a clue about that, because Lara is a brunette.
+Nitephall actually I think the line was about rape. He was saying that she was lucky that he likes blondes because then he wouldn't rape her because she is brunette. But that's my interpretation we don't really know.
+Laura Pollock Wow I didn't even think of that. That's probably what he meant. But it's neat that my original interpretation still works, only because the hero in the film had streaks of blonde in her hair.
BETTER THAN MAJORITY OF THE CZcams MOVIES I HAVE WATCHED...19Mins of PURE GOLD...Better than any other 1HR movie i`ve watched so far. PLEASE MAKE A SERIES...ANY...FOR REAL, ID PAY TO WATCH IT.
That was fantastic! Kudos to all involved in this epic short film. I feel like they could make the follow up with that kid now since this is 9 years old. It would kick ass I'm sure!
The bad guys are still horrible shots but this is the best characterization of a hero I've seen in a very very long time! Reminds me of Stalone in First Blood... VERY well done!!!!
Reminds of Sylvestor in New Blood as well. Damn, awesome comparison.
,
*censored a scene*
Bruh
Holy cow, the stunt work and effects are better than some you see in movies.
Damn.. that was fantastic!
Absolutely everything about this is great.
Amazing team work putting this together.
My heart was racing & that twist at the end.. yeah.. wow.
So good 👌
Yes. the ending was what got me too. =)
The choreography is so good!! well made!! Feels like the game!
THE LITTLE GIRL WAS LARA
PLOT TWIST! PLOT TWIST!
It'd be a pretty cool back story of how Lara first encounters things like that!
totally agree, in the first scene they never identified her as whether she was lara croft so it couldn't be her. so the girl saying that she is lara croft is possible. therefore you could believe that she really is lara croft and this is her back story, brilliant!!! just absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely fantastic! Too bad about the ending though, I wasn't expecting it. But this truly captures what the game was all about. If hollywood is still planning on doing a reboot Tomb Raider film, you have the best example of how you should do it here.
cass, is that you?
Shhhh... No my name is Clearence. Haven't you heard that the angels want me dead! There probably here on CZcams, don't blow my cover! (Wings flapping) Lmao

Immer noch der beste Fan-Film. Ich liebe es.
This fan film was fantastic! The action and choreography throught. The actress play Lara was better thann the movies in this role. Very impressed! Great work by this team!
This was so well done! Amazing. This is exactly how I hope the upcoming feature film will be with Lara alone kicking ass in extraordinary ways. The two previous films in my opinion were missing the element of Lara being a lone survivor. In the the two prequel/reboot games the fact that she's in these foreign places having to fight for her survival against nature, man, and beast all by herself and doing it so bravely is exactly what makes her admirable to me.
Brilliant. So great to see a film by people who understand.
This sound track in the background sounds like the intro to warm bodies. Super amazing job! Very well done!!
Had to show my family this wonderful movie❤ absolutely stunning! Definitely should make more parts😲 it was way better than a regular movie
Halo i toni ok kanera xao und 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😋😋😋😋👍🤠
Well done for a fan-made film. I honestly didn't expect the ending until seconds before it happened. Overall, a well made film.
This movie has some truly breathtaking action. Wow!
The feature film might not be as awesome this. The choreography was so technical and grounded and the music- and the pacing- and the everything. I was glued to the screen.
Good Lord this was a great fan film it looks sooooo real
That friend of hers was friking useless!
"You had ONE job! ONE! Stay hiding, brat!"
Seriously though, this is amazing work.
I am in awe.
But what's that at the end?
Kid's no Lara.
THIS is a fan movie? This is amazing
Best short movie that I have ever watched...and I watch A LOT OF MOVIES/videos.
Would very much like to see the whole movie.
The fighting scene is extremely good..
I love it..
Watching from Muscat Oman.
