Movie was fine but casting was totally off but otherwise was a good movie. didnt really follow the game other than some parts. But the ending was totally different. Overall was decent.

SPOILERS BELOW THIS LINE.

Ok so I don't get this movie. It's suppose to be a prequel to the games but yet is a mashup of all 4 games together and it didn't even have Elena. I have played all 4 growing up and beat them all and was expecting it to follow the games atleast a little but It didn't even follow the most important parts. This movie is purely about treasure hunting. If that's your thing you will love it. But the games were a mix of Adventures, drama, mistakes, one liners, comedy and a touch of romance between Nathan drake and Elena and also some with Chloe. They could have atleast made the story follow and made it into easily 2-3 movies. If it followed the games it would have been incredible. But usually video games that have movies never turn out to be a huge hit. The only thing this movie had that reels the people in is Tom Holland. Idk who cast mark wahlburg but they should have been fired for doing it. Also Tom Holland was missing alot of what Nathan drake had which is first of all the one liner dry jokes. Just those stupid jokes Nathan drake would make was alot of his character and of course that was missing. Overall this movie I feel was a bust for the people that played the game. But if you didn't play the game it's not a bad watch at all

I give this movie extra stars because it's glossy, the actors aren't terrible and the plot kind of hangs together. It had some entertaining bits and a decent number of scenes where I thought "that's cool".

The leads are just the wrong people for this. Tom Holland is still being Spider Man (probably not his fault - someone else set up the action shots). But where did this young but scrappy character pick up fighting skills to beat the pros? There's no history or path shown. OK, orphanage - but then what? They give him the power of the Fool (an archetype who succeeds by tripping over his own shoelaces) but to do so without context or explanation leaves the character unbelievable. And maybe I'm being persnickety here, but the lighter was such a key prop/gag it needed to have something special about it - something that explained WHY it rarely worked. Perhaps a secret message hidden inside - something better than just being a crappy lighter. And Mark Wahlberg is just wrong here - just the wrong moves for him. He doesn't play the devil-may-care con man well at all. Good actors but in the wrong roles.

Overall it was good for a rental - but I feel like I wasted my money to buy it.

I learned one thing from this movie. Mark Walburg is NOT Nicolas Cage.
I am taking time to write a review which I havnt dont in years , for the mear fact that there is so many things wrong with it that it intrigues me.
I am not a writer but even I could do a bettter job than the writer os this trash.
It looks like it was rushed and the scenes slapped together on haste without any thought because they just wanted to make a quick buck.
I dont remember watchinf a movie where I said as many times as I did thing like...:" Well that doesnt make sense" ..."Thats not possible"..."Wait a minute, werent they just".... "WOW! They put no thought whatsoever in this didnt they" ..."Now we're beyond stupid"..." If they want us to believe that whats next, Is Nathan going to fall from a plane and sprout wings because a special chant he just remembered"
Yes, the writing is horrific, but not as bad as the casting.
I have no Idea what Mark Walburg is doing in this movie in a role that doesnt fit him AT ALL.
Then there is Antonio Banderas who has a few sinister lines and then is kiiled in what I think was meant to be a surprising plot twist , only one problem....at this point NOBODY CARES! As a matter a fact KILL ALL THE CHARECTERS AND END THIS MOVIE.....please.
Even the sub plot ( At least I thought it was a sub plot) was what happened to Nathans brother Sam who disappears from his life in the opening scene for reason I still dont understand)
I did have a small interest in that and couldnt wait for the predictable reunion after Nather believes his brother is dead.
BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS! ....uggg...
Then there is a black woman with white hair ( WOW! SCARY) who is the villian after killing Antonio Banderas, and we are supposed to believe she is dangerous.
Soooo...to convince us she is dangerous they have her favorite weapon as a knife which she clearly has no idea how to use. They didnt even take the time to teach her how to use a knife in a knife fight, so everything she does looks like laugable slow motion.
One review wrote " If you like Indiana Jones and National Treasure you will enjoy this...
WRONG! If you liked those movies you will WANT YOUR MONEY BACK FOR THIS EMBARRESING ATTEMPT TO RESEMBLE THEM EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST WAY.
BAD WRITING, BAD CASTING, JUST...........................bad.
The only bright spot ( as a child, my mother always told be to look at the positive) if I must name one , was Tom Holland who played Nathan Drake.
The kid can act and prbably has a future if he stays far away from scripts like this.
In summary...
Bad acting, bad writing, bad casting... seems to be slapped together quickly just to make a buck

Perhaps the worst acting by Mark Walberg ever.

This was a flat film - so many deadpan deliveries to mention.

On its surface it would seem like it has everything but I found myself scrolling forward through the boring mass of it at a certain point.

One of the worst films I have seen in a long time - and a waste of Tom Holland’s growing talent. Tom was fine but the directing and script and lousy acting by Walberg made it feel like a high school pirate movie.

No idea how it got so many five stars here - it rated less than 50% on rottten tomatoes.

My 14 year old thought it sucked and my wife could not watch past 20 minutes.

I'm a huge fan of the video game franchise and was really excited for an Uncharted movie. I went into it with an open mind and was actually surprised at how much I loved the movie. Is it perfect? No, but it's still really good. I thought Mark and Tom had good chemistry and did their characters justice. I walked away happy and looking forward to the sequel.

If you enjoy movies like Indiana Jones and National Treasure, give this one a shot, it is a fun ride.

Some spoilers so be warned. Outstanding concept, great actors, and I can handle the ridiculousness of the plot including they left the ships in a massive/enormous/ridiculously obvious cave that you can also see from above in a rainforest cenote and apparently no one found them? Over the half a millennia it was there it would be destroyed (especially if you tried to lift it with a giant helicopter that you magically have waiting as if you would know you would need one much less two?). The "plot" holes are enormous as well. In the entire Philippines the three main groups just happen to spot each other the "bad guys" led by Tati Gabrielle as Braddock happens to be staring with a binocular thing just as they zoom by? And Sophia Ali
as Chloe Frazer happens to find them as well even though she was given the wrong coordinates? The worst sin is that the plot is often driven by absolute greed NOT ADVENTURE. The lazy writing has a bees nest of greed buzzing around mindlessly driving all them to stab each other in the back. Why write so lazily and ridiculously? Could have been an amazing adventure story of discovery instead just back-stabbing.

When the 5th Sun was put into the Sky, the Crystal Dragon with the Head of a Goddess reigned into the Sky, In the Era of 6069, the turning of the Earth cast into the 4 other worlds, Her sisters,
The Crystal Dragon on the code Magenta, drew the Sky as Magenta, in the image of the Old Goddess, the previous Goddess,
The Previous Goddess NUKIASHEMAYLUM, cast into the world "stones" as "meteors", translated to Satellites, as "orbei", or "eye on you", This Goddess with the Crystal Dragon "questioned Earth's heart for the Deliverance",
On the code Magenta and PINK, "all women of Earth who could not carry the stone in their crown jewel, as the Beholder of the Old Goddess NUKIA" NUKIA professed, "allyaushumlade" "all things turn to it's beginning", marked by the code Salt Germs Black Plague and OIL, this code of NUKIA was the "deliverance of Earth",
All women on the code Crystal Dragon NUKIA, Earth's sisters would begin to connect with Earth as the "Sun bowed", when the "women questioned", on the code Deliverance "their FATE", the Sky cast down a Shadow of a PALLADIUM known as HALAYUMSHADE or "holland", this PALLADIUM showed the women "their role in Heaven once they ascend", but after the women Ascend and "peer down into Earth" they see a "roleplay a dance", and these "women who gambled who traded" are "sad crying and lost", as they missed their opportunity with Earth's heart for the Lower Door in communion,
So in 6069 with the Alignment of Earth's sisters, The Crystal Dragon calls that which "is to be delivered", According to MONCAdA known as BLACK MAMBA the original form, "any finger that touched the Earth with profit" created a code "darkness", as Heaven cannot touch Earth,
Earth was a "sister" "not to know herself" as the Crytal Dragon and the Higher Order asked Earth for "Her Fate", Earth is a "sister to know her Sister Planets", and to Dawn the Sun at "her ankle to follow",
The old Guards sealed the Sun because the old world 2000 years ago had "sold out and believed in the Future Kingdom", their bodies were swallowed to Granite stones of Blood where the "lion became the Doll and Podium for all escapist to profess",
After the Crystal Dragon will be Uranium, all women of Earth who sold out and "questioned their Fate", will be twirled as a Cyclone, these women will lay a "purple carpet", for him to "swear to Earth by casting his staff", "all matter become one" since the Division of 2011, all humans matter 'become one",
And by the "swearing", he vows to "cleanse Earth's heart", so that the "birth of her new children will be pure",
