Action Adventure Films..  I have always loved good action packed films.. Likewise adventure films typically mean exploring .. as in different lands..

1.  The Mummy 2017 - is an action adventure thriller.. The film follows a US soldier Nick Morton (Tom Cruise) who accidentally discovers an ancient tomb of a trapped Egyptian princess Ahmanet (Sofia Boutella).. This film is full of action, drama and adventure.. Ahmanet who was cursed and buried alive for killing her father and family is truly a formidable force.. add in all her scary zombie minions..  Wow.. This film takes you on a wild roller coaster ride.. Loved it.. 

2.  Avatar 2009 - is a truly epic sci fi adventure action film .. The film which is set in the mid 22nd century.. follows humans colonizing Pandora.. a lush habitable moon .. The film is really difficult to put into words.. but is truly captivating.. I was mesmerized when the Na'vi which are a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora were first introduced to Jake Sully a Na'vi human hybrid known as an Avatar.. I loved the female Na'vi (Neytiri) that takes him under her wing..  This is an amazing film full of mind blowing visual effects and action.. love love loved it.. and so will you.. a definite must watch film

3.  Dracula Untold 2014 - is a dark fantasy action horror film .. The movie follows Count Dracula who is Vlad the Impaler (Luke Evans) rightfully named for slaughtering thousands by impaling them on spears..Vlad knowing that war is coming seeks help from a vampire.. and is told that there will be consequences ..ultimately offering Vlad his blood which will give Vlad powers.. This film is intense, and there are horrific battles.. as well as blood shed.. I have to be honest I was totally engrossed in the film.. the story is truly intriguing.. and a Dracula movie worth seeing..

Honorable Mention

Bram Stoker's Dracula 1992 - is a Gothic horror film based on the book Dracula by Bram Stoker.. The film focuses on Vlad Dracula (Gary Oldman) who returns from a victory against the Turks to find his beloved wife Elisabeta (Winona Ryder) has committed suicide after receiving a false report of his death.. When the priest tells him that his wife's soul is condemned for taking her own life.. Dracula destroys the chapel and renounces his faith.. stabbing the chapel's stone cross and drinking the blood .. the film then jumps to 1897 where Dracula comes to meet a young woman Mina Harker (Winona Ryder) that he believes to be his wife reincarnated.. The movie is dramatic and intriguing..keeping me on the edge of my seat..

4.  World War Z 2013 - is an apocalyptic action horror film based on a book by the same name by Max Books..The film follows Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) a former UN investigator as he travels the world to find a way to stop a pandemic that turns people into zombies.. The zombies are unthinking and vicious and the virus is spreading like wildfire... This movie is crazy.. with insane action from start to finish.. and totally gripping..

5.  Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets 2017 - is a action adventure film.. Set in the 28th century.. the film focuses on a special police division created by the United Human Federation that was formed to preserve peace through the galaxy.. Major Valerian is a Federation soldier and his partner Laureline is a sergeant in the Federation as well as Valerian's love interest.. Mul, is a low tech humanoid race that lives peacefully.. and fishes for pearls that contain enormous energy..  Honestly I can't even describe this film..

This movie is a completely breathtaking, captivating .. literally the special effects are amazing and it is full of non stop action from start to finish..  A definite must see film
