Hello Cinephiles,
Today we’re talking about the 2022 film Uncharted.
Story
The story isn’t all that original and is best when they’re doing the treasure hunting parts.
Score: 0.5
Characters
Every character is backstabbing and tragic. It’s a little tired by the end, especially when they try to make them seem less bad. Nathan Drake is likeable because he’s the main character and Tom Holland is a sweetheart. The rest are kinda meh.
Score: 0.5
Dialogue
Fun quips, silly dialogue, and archeological techno-babble is all fun, but other than Drake, no one seemed to have any emotions.
Score: 0.5
Visual and Music
It’s a little too obvious that the movie was built around the visuals and the fight scenes. It’s gorgeous and beautiful to look at.
The music is fantastic and has wonderful references to the game.
Score: 1
Fun
The treasure hunting was fantastic, but the character moments mostly fell flat. It frustrated me that no one corrected the “found gold” narrative when it was obviously gold belonging to the natives.
Score: 1
Overall
A visual spectacle with little to no plot that is completely carried by the charisma of Tom Holland. The treasure hunt is exciting and the puzzels interesting. It’s fun with great action scenes, but not super memorable.
Final Score: 3.5 out of 5
