The idea is good
The harmony and (let's call it "playful distrust") between Sully and Drake is presented believable and just in the way you'd expect it. The locations are interesting, and the plot is pretty much what everyone thought it would be. That alone is not negative, but the CGI-effects and the "dangerous situations" are not executed well; sometimes they appear rather dull. When watching the film, I sometimes thought "really? You expect me to buy that?" I also get that game-players are underwhelmed, but it's a movie and has to meet other standards. And it certainly has enough action in it.
The actors/actresses are pretty solid in their skills, and for watching it sometimes if you' re interested in this genre or in Uncharted, it's still a recommendation. - eabra48463 - 3 April 2024
A Surprisingly Boring Film
For a video game adaptation, this film is amazingly boring. It includes characters that are not likable, a script that plays like it was written by an eighth-grader and CGI-laden action scenes that simply don't excite. For an "action movie," there is a lot of dramatic talking with little action occurring. Instead, we get plenty of breathy dialogue and little else. For an almost two-hour run-time, most of the film is set-up material, slow-moving and uneventful; Mark Wahlberg and Antonio Banderas add little to the mix. They seem to be there to collect a pay check. The days when filmmakers labored to craft movies with care, technique and painstaking attention to detail appear to be over forever. Instead, we get films like "Uncharted," that rely upon gimmicks and computer-imaging to hold audience attention.
