It's a good reason to leave the house for that big-screen spectacle that we all live for. Ideal for fans of Tom Holland and devil-may-care treasure hunts, "Uncharted" is a solid action movie with crazy stunts, beautiful locations and surprising star power. Reviewed by Mr-Fusion 4 / 10 Doesn't do the games justice, by any stretch It did well at the box office so is likely to get a sequel but I sure hope it isn't like this first outing. That is the best description of this movie, doing everything that the game and previous treasure hunting movies have done but not as great. The Uncharted franchise has always been about these over the top set-pieces but the director would rather be more interested in copying it and not doing it as well. It doesn't try to do anything original or even crazy and just plays completely safe which is just disappointing. Overall, Uncharted (2022) is a soulless cash grab that inherited none of the qualities from its source material. Due to this the movie has so many moments where the pacing just slows completely. Every scene of talking is either pointless or just saying exposition. The interactions between the characters aren't funny and lack the heart that was seen in the games. ![]() The writer just copy and pasted the typical treasure hunting plot from previous movies with slight changes and called it a day. Additionally, the story and writing feel so basic and predictable. There is also a fight scene at a Papa Johns that feels so shameless and blatant in product placement. Drake never feels like he is in any mortal danger and this could be due to the silly weightless and slapstick feel of the action. They were just visually so awesome and Drake always felt like he was in danger and could die. In the end, the characters are all underdeveloped and uninteresting.Īnother amazing aspect of the game was the action set pieces. Antonio was doing great as the villain and had clear motives but he is replaced by Tati Gabrielle who is just underwhelming and lame. Sophia gives a fine performance but her character just keeps being very dislikable and Mark is just playing himself so Sully just ends up being bland. The same can be said for Chloe and Sully played by Sophia Ali and Mark Wahlberg respectively. ![]() He also had fun quips and tend to complain about the absurdity of the situation but in this film, he is lacking in all of these qualities. Nathan was never the perfect guy in the games and was kind of an a-hole at times. His character is shown to be a thief at the beginning which fits Nathan but then afterwards he becomes a saint that won't give in to greed. However, Tom Holland just doesn't feel like Nathan Drake. I love the charming yet cold nature of his performance. Antonio Banderas was also pleasant to watch as the villain. It was also clear that Tom was giving 110% in the role. Tom Holland is a charismatic lead and it is clear he is still great at being the main lead in the film. The thing is though that the big action set piece is just ripped from the game. They are fun to watch even though they are defying physics. The biggest thing I enjoyed about this film is the action sequences. Does Uncharted continue this video game movie curse or finally break out of the mould? However, video game movies are known to be bad so I didn't have high expectations. So it isn't too surprising that it got a movie adaptation. It was like an interactive film that was inspired by films such as Indiana Jones and National Treasure. Uncharted is one of the best action-adventure video game franchises.

What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada.
