Cheesy, but not nearly as much as one might expect, and packing a surprising amount of cool moments and fine actors. If you think a sillily heightened riff on Indiana Jones tropes with lots of action and smirking villainy sounds like fun, you should find something to like about this film.
Based on the video game Tomb Raider. Lara Croft must find two pieces of a triangle that when put back together allow the holder to manipulate time. After finding the first half, Lara must team up with a member of the Illuminati to get the second half of the triangle. She then needs to destroy the triangle to keep it out of the Illuminati's hands.

A fun action adventure movie.
Mercenaries want a MacGuffin... and revenge.

1.5/4 (Meh).

Pointless and boring. At least this time around they tried to have some fun - although they failed at it. Unless you think it's really neato that more than one movie star is in the same movie, there's nothing here.
