Review of Uncharted (2022) by Gemsicle — 25 Feb 2022

I enjoyed a smidge more than half the film such as witnessing the arduous visuals, action sequences, and international antagonists that are at the same level as the games that I highly admire.

I obviously had some flaws with this flick such as making Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan look younger, Elena's absence, and some of the jokes that do not make me smirk identically in the games. The one time I most definitely smirked was when a cast member made a cameo. What this film lacks is that in the video games there was always a plot twist in the final chapter/act such as the truth behind Drake's mission and him doing some thinking for his own to put an end to the mutiny, making me nickname Nathan Drake "Nothin' Muckrake." Another flaw that this movie has is the pasting of environments from the games and the movie not originating a set that feels like I'm re-watching a cutscene from one of the games.

To top it off, this film is like a summer blockbuster released in February that is enjoyable to sit through but concerned about the story.
