Is the Uncharted movie worth watching?

The Uncharted movie finally made it to theaters after seven directors and many years in development, but is it a diamond in the rough? Not exactly, but you could call it a gorgeous emerald with no shine. 

Tom Holland plays a young but relatable version of Nathan Drake in an adventure to find the treasure his brother longed to capture. Unfortunately, his counterpart is Mark Wahlberg’s uncharacteristic Sully. The two play off each other well, but it didn’t feel like Wahlberg nailed the character until the end of the film, not throughout. We really have the charming and cheeky Victor Sullivan in the last 20 minutes of the movie.

Teaming up with Chloe Frazier (played by Sophia Ali), both Nathan and Sully are on the search for House of Moncada’s hidden treasure. Frazier is along for the ride, and the film gets her just right. She’s mysterious and you never know what side Chloe’s on. She blends right in with the duo and becomes somewhat of a romantic element for Holland’s character. 

What was a bit strange was the side plot involving Drake’s long-lost brother, Sam. This character doesn’t show up until Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End but somehow makes his way into the narrative. He isn’t a main character in this film, and while his disappearance does make an impact on the plot, I feel like Sam is being introduced way too early into the franchise.  

The writing has some great comedic moments, and Holland succeeds at bringing the quips whenever needed. However, the script lingers too long for an action movie. Sure, Nathan’s nerdy history knowledge comes through loud and clear, but there aren’t enough hand-to-hand combat and gunfights to keep you entranced into the movie. 

Unfortunately, the villains are underdeveloped, but the film
