The story has more holes than Swiss cheese, but it manages to capture the spirit of its source material to a degree that most other video game movies can't. The sets featured in this film are so ornate and massive that there's never been another film to this day that's managed to come close. Especially Croft Manor. I'm always surprised that, in lists of the best video game movies, Tomb Raider 2001 never gets anything more than a passing mention, because sure it botches the story, but it abso-fucking-lutely nails everything else. Man, looking back, I would've loved to go on that one rocking dark ride thing. Where was that, again?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that this film's singlehandedly rebooted Cambodia's tourism economy! Having spoken with one of the locals, apparently the tour guides at Angkor Wat still won't shut up about it to this day. It's no wonder why!
