10 Entire Movie Plots That Were A Waste Of Time
5. Tomb Raider
This one is pretty glaring.
Lara Croft, in her incredibly noble mission to save the world by (ahem) raiding tombs, is tasked with finding both halves of an artifact which, when combined, gives its user the ability to control time. So far, so good.
Lara finds the first half of the key, which is useless on its own. But instead of simply destroying it, rendering the other half (which is hidden somewhere in Siberia) completely worthless, she instead sets off to find the other half.
If her goal was simply to protect the world from time-related catastrophe, why would she set off to find the other half? It makes no sense whatsoever, meaning that the second half of the movie was completely pointless, and the stakes should have been non-existent. Well done, Lara.
