When a Trinity soldier attempts to remove her corpse, he is infected by a highly infectious pathogen that reducesturns him tointo an aggressive, [[necrosis|necrotic]] zombie. Lara realizes that Himiko was an asymptomatic carrier of the virus, who chose to entomb herself so that she could not infect others. Mathias concludes that Trinity wants to create a bio-weapon out of her body, but he cannot remove Himiko's body and instead settles for cutting off a finger, which he seals in a pouch. In the confusion, Lara and Richard overpower the remaining soldiers in the confusion, although Mathias escapes and Richard becomes infected. Knowing there is no cure, Richard proposes destroying Himiko's tomb to prevent the disease from spreading across the world. Lara pursues Mathias as Richard sets off a bomb, killing himself and sealing the tomb. Lara confronts and kills Mathias by kicking him off a ledge after a fight. She barely escapes the tomb as it collapses, regrouping with Lu and the slaves; they commandeer a Trinity helicopter to escape Yamatai.▼

Owen Gleiberman of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' praised the film, saying that "The exciting surprise of the new ''Tomb Raider'', directed by the Norwegian genre specialist Roar Uthaug, is that it doesn’t tamp down Vikander’s inner flame, or the three-dimensionality of her talent; it doesn’t fold and insert her into an overly gymnastic and CGI-happy thrill ride. The movie is full of vine-swinging, bow-and-arrow-shooting, ancient-spirit-meeting action, but most of it is staged on a convincing human scale, one that’s been expertly tailored to its star’s understated directness."<ref>{{cite web |date= March 14, 2018 |last= Gleiberman |first= Owen |author-link= Owen Gleiberman |title= Film Review: 'Tomb Raider' |url= https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/tomb-raider-review-alicia-vikander-1202722123/ |website= [[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |publisher= [[Penske Business Media]] |access-date= April 6, 2018 |url-status= live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180407115830/https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/tomb-raider-review-alicia-vikander-1202722123/ |archive-date= April 7, 2018 }}</ref> Matt Zoller Seitz of [[Roger Ebert|RogerEbert.com]] gave the film three out of four stars and said, "this is a beautifully crafted and unpretentious piece of action cinema, with several sequences that are as gorgeous as they are thrilling, and a female hero who's as elegant as she is deadly: an ass-kicking [[Audrey Hepburn]]."<ref>{{cite web |last= Zoller Seitz |first= Matt |title= Tomb Raider Movie Review and Summary |url= https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tomb-raider-2018 |website= RogerEbert.com |publisher= Ebert Digital LLC |access-date= April 6, 2018 |date= March 16, 2018 |url-status= live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180318094022/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/tomb-raider-2018 |archive-date= March 18, 2018 }}</ref> [[IndieWire]]'s [[Anne Thompson (film critic)|Anne Thompson]] wrote that Tomb Raider "was a well-mounted, intelligently wrought adventure, more grounded in the real world than its fantasy predecessors" and that "it establishes the action bonafides of both Vikander and director Roar Uthaug."<ref>{{cite web |last= Thompson |first= Anne |title= 'Tomb Raider' Isn't a Hit, but Alicia Vikander and Her Director Come Out Ahead |url=https://www.indiewire.com/2018/03/tomb-raider-alicia-vikander-tweener-box-office-1201942444/ |website=[[IndieWire]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180614171603/http://www.indiewire.com/2018/03/tomb-raider-alicia-vikander-tweener-box-office-1201942444/ |archive-date=2018-06-14 |date=2018-03-26 }}</ref>
