Tomb Raider Movie: Ending Explained by Deffinition
Tomb Raider sees release this month and whilst it fails to break the curse of bad video game movies, there is still a lot to be enjoyed within the film for fans of the franchise.

Tomb Raider Movie Ending Explained by Deffinition
Daddy Issues
The film centres around Lara Croft, attempting to solve the mystery of her father’s disappearance. Similar to the plot of the 2013 video game, Croft becomes shipwrecked on a mysterious island and must use her wits in order to survive the perilous situations that she is put into.
Throughout the film Trinity hound Lara at every turn and make it difficult for her to get to the bottom of things. In the video game universe, the Order of Trinity is a mysterious and ancient militant organisation that seeks control over the world and the fate of mankind. Trinity is known to have existed at least as early as 978 AD.
Trinity are rumored to be associated with the Roman Catholic Church, as one of its senior leaders at the time of it’s creation was also a Catholic Bishop. This association appears to have persisted into the modern day; and it has been hinted that The Vatican are a major source of the organization’s funding.
During the film, Lara comes into contact with her father once more and the two unwittingly allows Trinity to discover the Tomb of Himiko.

Himiko
Whilst initially believed to grant eternal life, it is discovered that Himiko in fact possesses a virus that killed others upon contact, Himiko was immune to this disease and therefore mistakingly thought of as a God. Isolating herself, Himiko traveled to the island in order to hide away from those that would use her power for evil. Realising that he is unable to move the body because of the disease that surrounds it, Mathius, the film’s antagonist is at an impasse. Stealing Himiko’s thumb he flees for a transport that he arranged to pick him up earlier in the movie. Richard Croft sacrifices himself to destroy the virus and Lara shoves the thumb down Mathius’ throat, killing him in their final faceoff.
It’s all a bit over the top and cliche but there are several threads left dangling that provide much more intrigue and hint at what may possibly come further down the line for the live action counterpart.
Trinity
Towards the film’s climax Lara comes to the realisation that Trinity is a much larger corporation than initially thought and after seeing first hand the devastation that they have wrought upon several civilizations, decides to take them head on, Cue famous Dual Pistol Arming Scene.
Partners with Patnas
It is revealed that Trinity is actually part of an organisation called Patna, which is a holding company that the Croft estate owned. We see boxes throughout the film with the Patna logo imprinted on them so it is clear that they have roots within the majority of things within the plot. In the final scenes, Lara signs off on her inheritance and gives full power of attorney to Ana Miller, her father’s closest ally.
Granting such privileges to Miller means that Ana now has complete control over the inheritance and can use it however she sees fit. It is revealed that she has been a Trinity double agent all along and gaining the power now given to her has always been her endgame. Infiltrating the Croft household early on she has controlled all ventures thus far and is the puppet master behind Mathius’ motives. Making her one of the franchises most dangerous foes.....
