Uncharted – Movie Review
[Music],uncharted is finally a movie this has,been talked about for a long time and,now ruben fleischer the director of,zombieland 1-2 and venom and gangster,squad is bringing it to us starring tom,holland as nathan drake it also stars,mark wahlberg as sully and we go on an,adventure with both of them as they try,to locate a treasure trove of gold i,suppose i should get this out of the way,from the beginning i enjoy the uncharted,games but they arent like a religion to,me like say metal gear solid so im not,coming at this movie like ready to,nitpick everything about it and wonder,if they translated everything perfectly,from the games and choices or liberties,that may have been taken are not going,to bother me as much as a hardcore fan i,think the uncharted games are a lot of,fun i enjoy playing them but they arent,like metal gear solid for me or if i,were to see a metroid film id be,looking all over the place for,inaccuracies and issues with the metroid,movie which by the way is my dream,[ __ ] movie im just putting that out,there hey i can dream can i and while,uncharted isnt going to win any points,for originality more than likely,audiences will be pleasantly diverted by,the movie its very entertaining the,pace is strong tom hollands very good,as nathan drake although i guess i,pictured nathan drake slightly older but,its really not an issue for me i think,that most people especially if youve,never played the uncharted games hes,going to be a really good gateway into,them because hes obviously very popular,because of the spider-man films but hes,a very charismatic actor who does quite,a bit of his own stunts and you can see,that a lot in this movie and this time,hes not wearing a mask hes leaping,over fences and taking some pretty nasty,falls in the movie and i was impressed,he also has surprisingly good chemistry,with mark wahlberg who might just be a,little bit hey man whats going on for,my taste in the film but not like to the,point where it made me not enjoy the,movie i i like mark wahlberg as a actor,you know hes hes kind of entertaining,and hes got his thing and he usually,doesnt step outside of it and i like,when he does step out of the boundaries,of the typical roles that he usually,chooses but lately hes kind of been,coasting a bit theres no real surprises,and uncharted its a bunch of characters,that backstab each other a lot and are,searching for maps and hidden doorways,and keys that open portals and all that,kind of stuff,theres nothing new if youve seen,indiana jones or national treasure or,tomb raider youve seen uncharted before,but its all very skillfully done in the,finale involving two giant boats and two,helicopters while completely implausible,and just it would never happen was,extremely entertaining and actually,fairly exciting ruben fleischer tends to,make movies that audiences appreciate,more than critics venom being a prime,example and when it comes to uncharted,thats probably going to be the case i,have a feeling that audiences will enjoy,the movie its not going to be as big as,spider-man obviously but i could see,them making more theres clearly room,for more towards the end of the movie,and if it does well enough and audiences,seem to resonate with it hopefully well,get like a much better second film,because this movie has a lot going for,it for me i like national treasure i,like tomb raider obviously i like,indiana jones these kinds of movies i,have a major soft spot for them and so,im going to be more forgiving of them i,would say besides the fact that youve,essentially seen this movie many times,before,the thing about the film that didnt,work for me the most is is that it kind,of suffers from the same thing that the,character of mac from indiana jones 4,suffers from that character was quite,the backstabber and you never really,knew where his loyalties lied he just,kind of went where the money was and,pretty much everyone except for nathan,drake is like that for the majority of,the movie and so,it doesnt really feel like you make,progress with the characters because,every time you feel like you might be,reaching,a new depth when you learn something,about them theyll turn their backs on,each other in the next scene and it,feels like nobody really builds any,loyalty so it makes it harder to feel,excited about some of the characters,being on a journey together because,everybody just kind of feels like a,selfish [ __ ] except for nathan drake,but i also understand thats kind of the,point it just doesnt always work for,you when you feel like youre getting to,a place where you trust characters and,then,you suddenly dont anymore,and after that happens so many times and,they keep subverting your expectations,over and over and over again when it,comes to the characters its no longer,surprising and its just kind of,annoying the film also struggles to have,a central villain because they juggle,who the villain is so often and once the,real villain shows themselves youre,like okay so thats thats what were,doing i get it now but it just takes a,while to feel like youre fully invested,in what the the story wants the,characters to do but like i said,uncharted was entertaining and i was,never bored with the movie and i was,pretty much consistently involved and at,the very least the action sequences and,as a video game movie its certainly one,of the better ones so check it out this,weekend if you feel like having a,diverting two hours it could entertain,you as it did me so some of you may have,seen a recent video that i put out,called we cant do this without you and,in that video i announced that im going,to be doing a kickstarter campaign for,my film shelby oaks that is going to be,shot this summer that campaign is going,to launch on march 1st and we really do,need your help weve run into a lot of,different issues in regards to getting,the film off the ground,and this is something that is really,going to help us a lot if you go to,shelbyoaksmovie.com you can sign up,through your email there and become part,of the discord eventually ill be doing,a lot of videos throughout march,including a q a but really what i want,to do with the campaign,is kind of become a gateway for people,to see what its like to make an indie,film,in the midwest in ohio like as somebody,whos really just plunging into it for,the first time,i think it could be really hopefully,educational for other people to learn,about the filmmaking industry a little,bit and see the pre-production,production and post-production process,and i want to take you guys on that,journey with me i really want it to be,an experience so please do check out,shelbyoaksmovie.com and on march 1st,that campaign is going to launch and i,hope to see you guys

sponsoring this video I do,appreciate it and now a video game to,movie adaptations those are always,always a sure thing,foreign,[Music],is a film adaptation of the Beloved,video game franchise Uncharted the,Uncharted games are one of those,scenarios where the games get a lot of,praise and theyre absolutely deserving,of all that praise the one caveat the,thing I can say is the first game shows,a bit of its age other than that so in,this film adaptation we have Tom Holland,as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg is,Sully okay come on and this is the story,of how they meet though we saw a glimpse,of that in the third game and now,theyre on their first adventure,together to find the lost gold of,Magellan as a fan of the games lets go,into this movie like okay its not gonna,be as good as the games but you know,maybe we can have some fun and some fun,is in here but as for the casting Tom,Holland is Nathan Drake its,I I never fully bought him as Nathan,Drake even Young Nathan Drake I love Tom,Holland as much as the next person I,think hes great but he never felt like,someone out there was like oh Tom,Holland because we found the best Nathan,Drake possible it felt like right Tom,Hollands a superstar and it was before,Spider-Man no way home owned [ __ ],face in the box office all right Tom,Holland great we have him in the movie,fantastic and then it feels like the,rest of the movie was molded around that,one casting decision dont know I wasnt,in the room just telling you how it,feels it feels like all right Tom,Holland great hes a bit young all right,well just make everyone young and well,make it an origin story a prequel not,really because its not really a link to,the games its just kind of an origin,story all right well have young Chloe,Frazier and younger Sully in which my,counter argument would be well the,characters in The Uncharted series are,far more interesting when theyre in,their 30s than their 20s I mean seeing,it as an origin story I dont know that,Tom Holland Nathan Drake would grow to,be this person this character who has,the big biggest body count of any video,game character on Earth but no Tom,Holland Drake would snap a neck,I snapped a lot of necks in those games,Mark Wahlberg being cast as Sully was,absolutely proof that the Dare program,was a failure because someone out there,was high as [ __ ] when they made that,call having a young Sully sure Mark,Wahlberg doesnt look like Sully sound,like Sully or act like Sully I mean itd,be like,okay going down there without some,Firepower go talk to that Rudd Merchant,we just passed got me guns bullets and,[ __ ] hes not really a rug merchant Ah,thats what Im talking about I will say,one of the standouts in this movie was,Antonio Banderas he captures the spirit,of what an Uncharted villain would be,hes not based on an Uncharted villain,that came before him but you look at,this guy youre like you would be an,Uncharted villain I thought Antonio,Banderas in this movie was great as for,the action in this movie entertaining,yes plausible no ridiculous yep CGI of,course but there was entertainment there,the best action sequence in this movie I,think is a scene on the plane but it was,also awesome in the game and better in,the game so Ill just play it in the,game and thats what this movie runs,into its the point I brought up in my,review of the new Resident Evil movie,and the point I brought up was a lot of,these video games these days fulfill,that cinematic experience in fact more,so and better than a movie can because,you are playing through it youre not,just watching it youre a part of it so,having a video game to film adaptation,for these action games isnt as,necessary as it once was being in the,plane when it all starts going to [ __ ],and the back opens up and cargo and,people just start getting blown out the,back including you while you are a part,of it experiencing it is way more,intense than Tom Holland doing it on a,green screen I will say this,on the plane theres this thing that,happens in the plane where I was like,well the movie is just,fundamentally worse now luckily not long,after that youre in the last Act of the,movie in which this movie goes balls,crazy ridiculous its like it doesnt,even care its like yeah youre looking,for plausibility out of here with that,[ __ ] we are just cgiing the most,impossible past implausible zero [ __ ],given CGI action Fest you could possibly,think of and they commit to it credit to,that I cant say I didnt have fun with,that ridiculous [ __ ] just in a world,where Uncharted is a tent pull franchise,of action games I think of,quintessential game franchise of action,adventure exploring I will mentally go,to Uncharted this movie is fine but,pretty indistinguishable from any other,Adventure Movie out there think of an,adventure movie where people explore and,theyre looking for a treasure this and,that not one of the ones that really,stands out where youre like whoa that,was surprisingly good but one of the,ones where youre like okay that happens,another one of those this Uncharted,movie doesnt feel much different than,those you remember that fan film that,Uncharted fan film that had Nathan,Fillion as Nathan Drake that feels more,like Uncharted than this Uncharted movie,this Uncharted movie feels like Muppet,Babies like the Muppet Babies version of,Uncharted you know where you have the,grown-up adult or otherwise seasoned,versions of the characters and then,because well its cool to show younger,versions of those characters will you,make that too okay again dont hate this,Uncharted movie but if you go into this,movie as an Uncharted fan I feel like,youre going to find it lacking who,knows maybe itll be a better time if,youre drunk yeah this is the hardware I,was talking about anyhow the Uncharted,movie have you seen it what did you,think about it whatever you thought,comment below let me know and as always,if you like what youve seen here and,you want to see more click right here to,see more,[Music]

Uncharted Movie Review
Uncharted is a simple safe but,ultimately pretty effective introduction,to treasure hunter Nathan Drake fans of,the Beloved PlayStation games might be,surprised to see how much has changed to,fit an Uncharted story in a single,movies run time but it all makes for a,decently fun sampling of what Nate and,Sully have to offer on the big screen,for an origin story Uncharted ironically,doesnt waste any time explaining the,backstories of any of the characters,were immediately thrown into the,exploits of cocky young Thief Nathan,Drake played by Tom Holland and Veteran,treasure hunter Victor Sully Sullivan,played by Mark Wahlberg theyre both,looking for the next big score and,thats really all the backstory you need,to know it doesnt take long for Nate,and Sully to meet up with Sophia Alis,mysterious Chloe Frazier a fun and,energetic Edition who keeps everyone in,this world spanning Adventure on their,toes as a fan of the games the biggest,question I had was if Holland could pull,off Nathan Drake playing a slightly,younger version of the character we know,the answer thankfully is yes okay let me,go pina colada hes as charismatic as,ever sinking his teeth into plain and,Indiana Jones type I was never once,distracted by the fact that this is the,same actor who played Spider-Man in one,of the biggest movies ever just a couple,months ago Wahlberg does a decent job,playing a wisecracking mentor to Holland,but some of the things that make Sully,so recognizable in the game didnt,survive the transition to film,Sully is Iconic at least in part because,of his thick mustache and dark booming,voice none of which Wahlberg has Hey kid,a little young for a bartender arent,you that being said Wahlberg and Holland,have fun chemistry including some very,good emotional scenes so its mostly,pretty easy to look past him not being,entirely loyal to the source material,the cat and mouse plot doesnt take,itself too seriously which is exactly,what I would expect from a movie based,on the Uncharted games basically If This,Were a two hour video game cutscene,which I guess is technically a movie,anyway I never felt like I wanted to,press the skip button Nates telling,Chloe get into their fair share of,fights Chase scenes and booby traps as,they go about collecting Clues solving,puzzles and traveling the world its all,pretty straightforward but there were,plenty of fun reminders that I was,watching in Uncharted movie for example,very early on Nate bumps into fellow,treasure hunter moncada played by,Antonio Banderas and the way they,exchange quips is endearing in a,cartoonish sort of way these types of,scenes will be fun for a casual audience,but for those familiar with the games,its a loving Recreation of the defining,traits we know and love the most about,Nathan Drake speaking of the villains,the ones here are mostly forgettable,their storylines are anticlimactic and,one-dimensional and any motives for,seeking the big treasure Beyond Simple,greed are unclear in a way though its,oddly fitting because while the,Uncharted games have featured many,antagonists the real evil has always,been about what greed can do to people,that theme is present throughout the,movie and thats good enough for me my,favorite scenes in Uncharted all lived,in the Final Act where we finally see,Nate and Sully in their element of,pirate caves shootout and shouting,one-liners while being attacked by,henchmen its not until the end that we,truly see the movie lean into its video,game counterpart with Holland running,jumping and narrowly escaping death in,moments that could have easily been a,QuickTime event the love for the games,is especially present in two mid-credit,scenes and it made me wonder why this,movie couldnt have been more of a,direct interpretation it left me wanting,more in a frustrating way still if its,your first experience with Uncharted,its a a solid Adventure that benefits,from Hollands charm no matter how,straightforward the plot might be,[Applause],Uncharted is a safe but serviceable,sampling of a new globe spanning,Adventure this should be effective in,introducing the world of Uncharted to,people who are meeting Nate and Friends,For the First Time although the changes,it makes can be inexplicable and jarring,to those of us whove spent many games,with these characters for more movie,reviews check out what we thought of,death on the Nile and jackass forever,and for everything else stick with IGN

Uncharted – How Could They Mess This Up?
no I have to admit Ive always had a,soft spot for the kind of old school,action and adventure found in the,Uncharted games they were a big,evolution from the old Tomb Raider,series that it wants to find the genre,but it gradually becomes stale and,played out as the developer slowly ran,out of creative steam which makes it,kind of ironic that Tomb Raider itself,would eventually go on to copy the,Uncharted formula and basically run it,into the ground but hey thats a whole,other video the point Im making here is,that the Uncharted series basically,excelled at everything Tomb Raider had,fallen short in given us a likable,wisecracking and very human protagonist,backed up by a cast of quirky interest,in supporting characters complex and,immersive storylines and fast-paced,cinematic action scenes that they still,look pretty awesome even today the end,result of all of this is that you kind,of felt like you were in a modern day,Indiana Jones movie and it was [ __ ],great so I guess it was inevitable that,the series would come full circle and,get a cinematic adaptation and following,the depressing trend of movie,adaptations of popular video games it,was was even more inevitable that it was,going to be a bit [ __ ] Im not gonna lie,the moment they announced that Tom,Holland whos 25 but looks about 17,would be playing Nathan Drake and that,Mark Wahlberg would be playing his aging,Mentor Sully whos supposed to be in his,mid-60s I had a pretty strong suspicion,that the filmmakers didnt have a,[ __ ] clue what they were doing and,well it turns out I was pretty much,right Uncharted is a movie that was,basically given an open goal from the,penalty spot and still somehow failed to,put the ball in the back of the Nets,rather than embrace the auto action,adventure and treasure hunting that made,the game so enjoyable it wastes at least,half of its run time on Clumsy character,work slow paced planning seems and dumb,unimaginative Heist sequences that have,been done far better elsewhere damn even,red notice was smart enough to Breeze,through this stuff at a decent pace,whereas Uncharted lurches and stumbles,from one plot point and set piece to,another with no idea of what to do in,between and when its finally time to do,some actual treasure hunting well lets,just say you wish they didnt anyway,Ill try to give you a brief plot,summary here which will probably contain,some spoilers so if youre really,desperate to go see this movie then you,need your [ __ ] head examined but you,should probably also skip the rest of,this review you have been warned the,movie opens with Nathan Drake caught in,a mid-air action sequence thatll be,pretty familiar to anyone who played the,games theres a nice bit of humor and,some death-defying leaps of faith that,no actual human could put off but for,the most part its pretty decent and for,about three minutes my faith in the,filmmakers actually started to rekindle,then it all comes to a screeching halt,because its time for flashbacks,we then jump back to Nates childhood,where he and his brother Sam have broken,into a museum to steal a map that,apparently leads to bury treasure,Unfortunately they get busted before,they can get the map and because Sams,already got a prior history hes forced,to go on the run or risk being sent to,jail skip forward 15 years and Nates,now working as a bartender where he,picked Pockets wealthy customers as a,sideline its at this point that hes,approached by Mark Wahlberg and yeah I,know hes supposed to be playing Victor,Sully but lets be real here Mark,Wahlberg is an actor in the same way,that breaking into a light job to catch,a train makes you an athlete regardless,of what his character is called where,they come from or what kind of,personality they have he basically just,plays himself in every movie hes ever,been in I mean hes made a [ __ ] ton of,money doing it so I guess I cant,criticize him too much but whatever,lets just call her wahlburger Wahlberg,anyway Mark Wahlberg wants Nate to help,him find treasure that was allegedly,recovered and hidden by the Magellan,Expedition 500 years earlier Mark,Wahlberg had originally been working,with Sam who disappeared about a year,ago so now he wants Nate to pick up,where his brother left off because I,guess the ability to decipher cryptic,treasure maps and solve complex,historical mysteries is something that,just runs in the family naturally Nate,wants to find out what happened to his,brother so pretty soon the two men form,an uneasy alliance with Chloe Fraser a,fellow treasure hunter who has one of,the items they need to decipher the map,The Twist here is that theyre all,thieves and con artists in one way or,another so theyre always right on the,brink of screwing each other over to get,ahead who can you trust and whos,secretly working against you who knows,who cares unfortunately theyre not the,only ones after the Lost Magellan,treasure Santiago moncada the head of an,Italian crime family that financed the,original Expedition wants to get his,hands on it too so he can make himself,even more rich,no [ __ ] hes backed up by a small,private Army commanded by mercenary Joe,Braddock who for some reason dresses,like a model from a Peloton commercial,what the [ __ ] is this thing even,supposed to be is it webbing I mean I,dont see any equipment on it is it some,kind of armor thats designed to leave,the most vulnerable parts of the body,exposed also how the [ __ ] does a 26 year,old end up commanding a private military,company well none of the characters in,this movie age appropriate what is this,movie a [ __ ] anime nah whatever so,the plot is pretty much your standard,treasure hunt that plays a bit like,National Treasure mixed with Oceans 11.,the boys have to recover a pair of,golden crosses that will lead them to,the next clue which in turn leads them,to the next clue and so on all that,really boils down to is steal some,things to lead you to another thing,which will eventually get you to the,treasure damn that Magellan guy really,planned ahead along the way they have to,solve puzzles avoid traps and try to,stay one step ahead of the bad guys who,are hot on their tail theres chases,gunfights fist fights double crosses and,Revelations that are surprising only if,you missed the first hour of the movie,when see its all pretty standard stuff,for a film like this and while theres,nothing wrong with using well-worn,troops to drive your story forward it,all depends on the execution and I think,this is where Uncharted falls apart I,mean I guess we should get the obvious,[ __ ] out of the way first the casting in,Uncharted makes about as much sense as,putting Rebel Wilson in a remake of,Predator the script cant seem to decide,if Mark Wahlberg is a big buff ass,kicking action hero or a crotchety old,con man whos past his prime so he ends,up playing both depending on the,situation and to see that it results in,an inconsistent character is a bit like,seeing the Elephant Man doesnt quite,conform to Conventional beauty standards,I mean I can understand the problem that,his presence creates if this movie had,been made 10 years earlier then he,absolutely would have been cast as,Nathan Drake himself or if it was made,10 years from now then he might have,been a better fit for Sully but as it,stands hes cutting this awkward in,between where hes too old for one and,too young for the other and like I said,before its not like Wahlberg is a man,of great acting range that can really,make the roll his own which raises the,question of why the [ __ ] did cast this,guy in the first place neither should,they have brought in Tom Holland whos,been riding High since the success of no,way home but absolutely isnt right for,this part I mean I guess they wanted,someone young enough to carry a,potential franchise for the next decade,or so which makes sense in the long term,but theres young and then theres Tom,Holland young hes too small hes too,boyish hes got no Edge to him and he,doesnt project the kind of easy
