7 out of 10, Uncharted is a big hit but I was surprised by how shallow it
turned out to be. It was as if the filmmakers tried to bring to life a love
child between National Treasure and some sort of video game. The story made no sense
and only served to move the film to the next set of very entertaining stunts.
The movie is saved by Spidey as Tom Holland demonstrates real star power and
effortlessly carries the film while a very generous Mark Wahlberg lets him do
so. They make an interesting set of buddies. What made the National Treasure
movies so good was keeping the plot, while wildly impossible, at least
credible. That thought goes out early on in this movie but the very engaging
cast rescues it and makes this movie at least very watchable, if a bit
frustrating if you look beyond the stunts. But, hey, at least it was honest and
didn’t try to be anything it wasn’t, a big dumb action flick, so, of course, I
liked it.
MVP:
Holland as Nathan Drake
