Movies that feel likeTomb Raider (2018)
If you loved Tomb Raider, the closest films we have are Mortal Kombat II (2026), Kong: Skull Island (2017) and Mulan (2020). All three share Tomb Raider's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).

If Tomb Raider hit the spot, these will too

Game-to-screen pulp that commits hard to its fights and its lore
The difference: Tournament gore spectacle — a body count, not a survival story

An uncharted island expedition that turns lethal the moment they land
The difference: Monster-movie spectacle — the humans are mostly there to be eaten

A daughter risking everything for her father, proving herself in combat
The difference: Stately legend-telling — earnest and slow next to Lara's scramble

A sheltered heroine leaving her island to test herself against the world
The difference: Mythic superhero sincerity in place of scraped-knuckle survival

Kinetic and epic in the same breath

Dreamlike action in both cases
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

The same heroine, first pass — globetrotting relic hunts with attitude
The difference: Campy and weightless where the reboot bleeds and sweats

A video game world rebuilt on screen with real conviction and scale
The difference: Full high fantasy — orcs and portals, nothing human-scaled to grip

An ancient artifact everyone will kill for, chased at serial-adventure pace
The difference: Glossy fantasy romp — danger never feels like it leaves bruises

A capable woman stranded somewhere hostile, surviving on grit alone
The difference: Wall-to-wall creature combat with barely a story between rounds

A return to the wild place that shaped the hero's family history
The difference: Handsome but inert — brooding spectacle with little forward pull

Old-world adventure staged against monstrous odds at gorgeous scale
The difference: A siege epic — massed armies, not one woman improvising alone
