How Lara Croft saved Captain Kirk

I was playing Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation when i started to associate ideas.

Lara Croft is a busy character, an athletic woman solving puzzles while running against time through ancient temples trying to save the world from former Atlantean queen Natla.








This game inspired german movie maker Tom Tykwer to direct the amazing cult movie "Run Lola Run" which featured LOLA (Franka Potente), an athletic woman with red tinted hair solving puzzles while running against time through Berlin trying to save her boyfriend from being killed by mobsters.









This movie inspired director J.J.Abrams to produce the hit tv series "ALIAS", which featured an athletic spy Sidney Bristow (Jeniffer Garner) wearing a red wig (or blue, depending on the occasion), solving puzzles while running against time through enemy bases trying to save the world from other spies.










This TV series proved to be a enormous hit, enabling J.J.Abrams to produce other tv series, until he was called to direct "Mission Impossible III", which featured spy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), solving puzzles while running against time through foreign cities trying to save the world from other spies.









Thanks to that movie now we´re able to watch STAR TREK again on the big screen, with a new movie directed by J.J.Abrams, with Captain Kirk, McCoy, Uhura and Chekov solving puzzles while running against time through the corridors of the Enterprise trying to save the world from vengeful romulans.

In short, Lara Croft saved Captain Kirk. :)

Excellent chain of ideas!

I questioned Victor if the dates were really in that order - or if he was using a time-warp [caused by a micro black-hole] to explain it.

He answered me that the first Tomb Raider is of 1997, Run Lola Run is of 1998 and Alias is of 2001. And in the extras of the Alias DVD, first season, the director JJ Abrams confirmed that Lola Run Lola was inspiration for that series.

So, no time-warp required!

Now, I eagerly await for the new Star Trek movie review!!
