Episode notes
That 2018 Tomb Raider reboot starring Alicia Vikander is suddenly dominating HBO Max, leaping into the top three most-watched movies years after its release. Unlike the Angelina Jolie films, this version leans into gritty survival, framing Lara as the daughter of a missing explorer racing to find him on a remote island. Critics were split, but fans loved Vikander’s grounded take and the game-inspired authenticity, giving it a solid Rotten Tomatoes score and a 6.3/10 on IMDb. Directed by Roar Uthaug and backed by MGM and Warner Bros., the film’s streaming resurgence proves that great stories — even those overlooked at launch — can find new life when the right platform gives them a second chance. Lara Croft’s adventure? Still wildly captivating.
