Directed by Roar Uthaug in 2018 based on the 2013 video game of the same name, this American and British film depicts the adventure of Lara Croft. Lara finds a pre-recorded video message from her father detailing his research into Himiko (卑弥呼), the mythical Queen of Yamatai (邪馬台) who was said to command the power over life and death. She embarks on a perilous journey to her father's last-known destination---the island of Yamatai. Although I enjoyed this action-adventure flick, the island of Yamatai is ridiculously misplaced. Himiko (卑弥呼) is a historical figure who lived during the period (c. 170–248 CE) as a shamaness-queen of Yamataikoku (邪馬台国)---part of ancient Japan. However, the whole story is fake fiction since her tomb has NOT been found yet.
