Uncharted 2022 Movie Review
As an adventure movie it wasn't terrible but not great. Mark wahlberg played the same character he always does and that kinda sucked. This movie would be better to stream on Netflix or hbo, not waste the $$$ and go to theater. Overall it was good at wasting time but it's nothing I'll be talking about with friends.
Now calling it uncharted was a dumb move because it's a terrible adaption of the games. Like many reboots/adaptions it would have just been better and smarter for the film makers and audience if you just called it something else and have it just be some random adventure movie. Instead everyone is comparing it to the games and is gonna hate it. Cause face it, wahlberg as sully is so ridiculous and if you say "it's set before uncharted" you must not have played uncharted 3 where drake first met sully.So yeah bad casting, bad adaption, ok movie, totally forgettable, I want a refund.
When Tom Holland was revealed to play Nathan Drake, I believe all of us
were shocked by that decision, and not in a good way. For those of you
who are aware of the video games, one thing that is for sure; Tom
Holland does NOT look like Nathan Drake... at all.
One thing leads to another, my expectation was low during yesterday's screening. Holland plays Drake and the trailer didn't even capture my interest, let alone the poster 🤣. And so it began...
Uncharted is... an okay-ish film with an okay-ish CGI and an okay-ish storyline that doesn't meet the standard of its video games franchise.
The major downside of the film lies in its adventure of solving mystery puzzles and finding hidden objects in which most of them just do NOT have the DNA of what makes the franchise great. It's missing the authenticity and the feels that the games provide to the audience. It's been somewhat tampered to make it look like a turndown version of the high-appraisal franchise. Instead of feeling rich with nature or artifacts, it feels empty with production sets that are not built solid enough to amplify its real-like mood and atmosphere. Just look at the poster smh.
Quite surprisingly, Tom Holland did a pretty good job with playing Nathan Drake. His most profitable movie just came out 60+ days ago, but I was shocked to see that his performance didn't send a reminder that he was playing Spiderman. However, Drake should have been played by someone else; Tom just doesn't have the charisma, the aura or the handsome smirk. Mark Wahlberg is... Mark Wahlberg. Pretty sure he's tired of acting.
The storyline isn't all that great either, it's just not adventurous enough. There are so many cities they travelled to, that they forgot the heart of Uncharted lies in territories of ancient buildings or concretes. It seems that the decision makers behind this movie are not even fans of the games.
The best thing to happen is the final 30 minutes, a mixture of Mission Impossible, Tomb Raider & Pirates of the Carribean all in one, that's where the adrenaline really kicks in and I believe most of the budget that went to making of the film is used here. Did you see the best part in the trailer? This is where it all happens. There was even one scene here that successfully sways its camera just like you're watching a clip of the game, kudos.
There's a tiny twist that occurred in the middle and I was surprised of how it turned out to be because I wasn't expecting it at all. It occurred so suddenly, it caught me off guard. Not sure about you gamers, but that is a good twist for me.
As for me, this is better than 2018's Tomb Raider but it's still mapped 'uncharted' to be on par with National Treasure or Indiana Jones.
Verdict: A journey not-so-worth remembering, Uncharted is missing its most valuable treasure; a heart of gold to making this film a success.
