This movie is a quest action and adventure hybrid
The action and adventure codes and conventions used in the
opening include a spectacle. You can tell the spectacle is coming by the lead
up to the tomb opening, there are slow camera movements and the music gets
louder and more powerful up until the tomb opens. The spectacle is formed by
the shear vastness of the tomb, there is a camera pan and point of you shot to
show the huge spectacle of the tomb from the characters point of view. The use
of a spectacle makes the cation and adventure genre seem more incredible.
Another way this fits the action adventure is that character
of Lara Croft is very intelligent and resourceful, she is intelligent and can
understand how to use confusing equipment, she can use flares easily and knows
exactly what to do with them also knowing exactly how to cut the medallion and
then leaping easily over. This all shows her intelligence and cunning of a typical
action and adventure hero. She is level headed and attractive even in life
threatening situations like the tomb imploding. Therefore showing the resourcefulness
and intelligence of the antagonist.
