UnchartedMovie Review: Tom Holland Can't Save Joyless, Bland Video Game Movie
Based on the video game franchise, Uncharted has all the ingredients of a fun and entertaining adaptation, but the recipe doesn’t blend everything together well enough. Movie adaptations of video games don’t have the best history, though there are a few exceptions. Uncharted, however, is unfortunately not one of them. Directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Rafe Judkins, Art Marcum, and Matt Holloway, Uncharted is joyless and has little to no personality.
The film opens on an action scene, which includes a second or two where the perspective is distinctly first-person to reflect a video game, but it’s not compelling enough to draw in viewers. One particular action sequence is memorable, but the remaining lack a sense of panache; even the clues throughout are far too quick to solve. What’s perhaps most disheartening is that Uncharted, which is meant to be about Nathan Drake, doesn’t seem very invested in him at all.
Visually, Uncharted is forgettable. Some of the dialogue — like Chloe and Nate saying “water” as though the audience can’t actually see the water is, in fact, rising — is clunky and unnecessary. Yet another scene sees Sully telling Nate that he’s catching feelings for Chloe, but their scenes and chemistry don’t at all reflect this statement. In this regard, Uncharted is more concerned with telling instead of showing, which considerably weakens the narrative.
