Review of Uncharted (2022) by Smashingreviews — 23 Feb 2022
Although the essence of the Uncharted games is felt throughout the movie, there's a lot of things that separate the movie from the games. The story suffered several odd changes, Nate and Sam have a quite different origin story, the brothers never went treasure hunting together, Nate never reconnected with Sam after his departure from the orphanage and the circumstances in which Nate and Sully meet are very different.
This of course would be ok for me as fan of the franchise if the changes made here were in benefit of a better narrative, but it's not really the case. The narrative and plot progression of this movie is far more trivial than that in the games, and the changes made seem not to be taken advantage of, which makes that choice on doing so pretty pointless.
The action in alright, the acting too, Tom Holland portrays decently what could have been a pre-Drake's Fortune (young adult) Nathan Drake, but the movie doesn't make justice to the game series unfortunately.
