Tomb Raider (2018)
The Tomb Raider movies starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft are, to be honest, not good. Successful, sure, but mediocre movies. Years later, the action-adventure series got a reboot, and this time around, they actually got a good movie out of it.
Jolie was out as Croft, with Alicia Vikander stepping into the role. They packed the movie with overqualified character actors like Walton Goggins and Kristin Scott Thomas, which helped, and the movie looks good. The action scenes are exciting, and it has the globe-trotting element you are looking for. A sequel never came to fruition, but that’s okay. Everything need not be a series or a franchise.
Sometimes, you just enjoy a good adventure movie built around a capable treasure hunter. This is one of those movies based on video games that stands strong on its own.
