Uncharted

While Uncharted will never be a classic on par with Spielbergs original swashbuckling adventures, it does no dishonor to that tradition, and even manages to deliver a few unique thrills.

It's not that much of a movie, but a diversion. It's a big, dumb diversion; the best thing about it is that it serves as evidence that Tom Holland makes for a wonderful movie star.

It’s all mildly amusing, mildly exciting and entirely routine, just as you might expect from a director such as the reliably faceless Ruben Fleischer (Venom), who manages to go from one hit to the next without ever showing any particular talent.

For fans of each of treasure hunter Nathan Drakes incredibly convoluted adventures, this movie is likely going to feel like a bona fide disaster.

Uncharted is bland and disappointing without being outright disastrous.

It achieves the primary goal of based-on-a-video-game movies, which is that the non-stunts parts like storyline and character dont get in the way of the stunts parts, which are the reason we are there.

If this movie has taught me anything it’s that video game movie adaptations will never be a sustainable avenue for Hollywood.

What will be most frustrating for fans of the video game franchise and distributors Sony is that the film fails to deliver the same level of quality as its source material, though newcomers might find more to enjoy.

Tom is a solid Nathan Drake 
Sophia is a great Chloe 
Mark was Mark…. Nothing against him but he was nothing like Sully. 
As a long time fan of this gaming series I wanted more & left frustrated even with the fun glimmers that were throughout the film

What started as a video game produced by Play Station became a movie that just doesn’t hit all the notes it desperately tries to.
