'Uncharted' Review: Steal, Fight, Repeat (The New York Times)

This inaptly titled treasure-hunt adventure recycles all the familiar clichés while giving Tom Holland a strenuous physical workout.

At any rate that may explain the images of his character, Nate Drake, a thief who moonlights as a bartender (or vice versa), pulling some smooth moves on the job, a bit of juggling tomfoolery that instantly triggers images of Cruise in “Cocktail.” But while Chloe and Braddock are clearly adding something new to the same old story, they’re still performing the same old roles for yet another Hollywood male contender. In 2020, a statue of Sir Francis in Britain was draped in chains with a sign reading “decolonize history.” In “Uncharted,” the boy grows up to become a neo-buccaneer played by the boyish Holland, a likable, exuberantly physical performer who has traded his Spider-Man responsibilities for more old-school heroic duty. The similarities between “Uncharted” and the first “National Treasure” are notable, with both movies adhering to the same booty-questing template. In “National Treasure,” the kid soon becomes a character played by Cage, whose singular, offbeat performance style can elevate and disrupt crummy material.

'Uncharted' Review: Tom Holland And Mark Wahlberg Team Up In ... (Deadline)

Uncharted, the film adaptation of the PlayStation video game, stars Tom Holland as treasure hunter Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Sully.

Of course nothing is that easy and Nathan meets his match with imposing security, as Sully sweats out a bidding war with Moncada, who needs this gold key to match the only other known one in order to unlock the missing treasure. The plan meets the first of its obstacles at the auction as Nathan must escape his captors by jumping off the railing and grabbing onto (dare I say in Spidey fashion) the ceiling-high lighting fixtures. Holland, again sporting his Peter Parker-style American accent, and Wahlberg, one of the most reliable actors around to keep this kind of nonsense grounded, are a couple of gents it is pleasant to spend time with. After the obligatory derring-do opening and some flashbacking exposition involving Drake and his brother, the new team schemes to steal a bejeweled gold key in plain daylight during a high-end auction (how many times have we seen this kind of scene at an auction house in movies?). Still, this set piece is I would say the most amusing and well-executed by Fleischer (Zombieland, Venom) as Sully poses as a high-rolling bidder, while Nathan is tasked with getting the power to go out at an opportune time so he can walk off with the booty amidst all the chaos. It is all for the film adaptation of the popular PlayStation video game Uncharted, in which Holland as treasure hunter Nathan Drake is teamed with a crafty and somewhat reliable older mentor played by Mark Wahlberg. This big-scale action movie has been in development so long at Sony in fact that Wahlberg originally had been attached play Drake, until the fiftysomething actor aged out of it waiting for the green light.

'Uncharted' review: Tom Holland's star power can't keep the ... (CNN)

Tom Holland puts his considerable charm to the test in "Uncharted," a movie built around the Spider-Man star and wild aerial acrobatics.

The one strange thing is that the funniest insult they exchange appears in the trailer but not the actual movie, and any good dialogue here is too rare to wind up on the cutting-room floor. Those shortcomings merely underscore the video-game roots, leaving trifles like adding a third dimension to the characters as unnecessary distractions. and "Zombieland"), "Uncharted" drops toward the wrong end of the chart every time Holland and Wahlberg engage in juvenile bickering, which alas is all too often.

Uncharted movie review: an overdue slog of epic proportions (The Verge)

Mark Wahlberg as Sully and Tom Holland as Nathan Drake. Sony Pictures. Columbia Pictures' new Uncharted movie from Venom director Ruben Fleischer is a testament ...

This might not be such a glaring issue if Nathan and Sully’s brotherly camaraderie wasn’t meant to be Uncharted’s beating heart, and if the film had the wherewithal to at least try to make some of its supporting characters feel like people instead of walking, talking callbacks to the games. But unlike so many other adaptations in this class, which tend to feel hamstrung by a lack of understanding of what people like about the source material, you do get the sense watching Uncharted that everyone involved vaguely “gets” what all the fuss is meant to be about. Columbia Pictures’ new Uncharted movie from Venom director Ruben Fleischer is a testament to the idea that the longer much-buzzed-about adaptations of beloved franchises linger in development hell, the more likely they are to emerge from it — that is if they ever do — as warped misfires that might have been better kept in the drafts.

Is Uncharted on Netflix? (Netflix Life)

Wondering if the action-adventure movie Uncharted starring Tom Holland is available on Netflix? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

There are so many undiscovered features to experience on the streaming service, but not every flick is hidden within its digital walls. If the 116-minute feature is half as good as the video games fans absolutely love, then viewers are in for an outstanding ordeal. So it was really only just a matter of time before series character frontman Nathan Drake made the jump to the silver screen.

'Uncharted' review: Journey to the center of my REM cycle (New York Post)

Indiana Jones,” “National Treasure” and “The Mummy,” just to name a few, are all dead ringers for this poorly written buddy quest film — and leagues better ...

Nathan and Sully are joined by Chloe (Sophia Ali, wonderful in “India Sweets and Spices”), who’s angry all the time. “Uncharted” is part of the valiant effort to make a bona fide star out of Tom Holland separate from his extremely popular “ Spider-Man” movies. He hires Braddock (Tati Gabrielle), a bland and vague femme fatale, to get to the doubloons first. “Uncharted” will likely follow suit. I suggest a different name for the latest entry in the genre: “Derivative!” Sully, it turns out, is a friend of Nathan’s lost older brother, who abandoned him at an orphanage years earlier to explore the world.

Uncharted Movie Review - Book and Film Globe (Book and Film Globe)

Uncharted, a numbingly familiar adventure movie with no real sense of adventure, begins with an open cargo plane dangling a string of enormously heavy,

They seem to open every single hidden lock everywhere, by the way—even one at a local Papa John’s, where some rampaging fisticuffs and intense property damage don’t even elicit reactions from a single local policeman. Same for a sweaty underground nightclub where the owners don’t seem to mind when Holland sets some liquor on fire and sticks his key into a random ancient wall. It also has a double, by the way, another ancient artifact that needs to be used in tandem with the first. The key to this illicit venture is literally a key—namely, an early 16th century gold-and-ruby crucifix that also secretly doubles as a key. The plot lays out some backstory stakes for Nathan (Holland), who grew up in a Boston orphanage with bad-boy older brother Sam (Rudy Pankow). His brother told Nathan they were descendants of Sir Francis Drake, with “pirate’s blood” in their veins, and that Magellan’s historic circumnavigation voyage was actually just a cover for some serious gold-hunting. He offers Nathan a chance to track down that Magellan gold—and possibly even find his long-lost brother Sam.

'Uncharted' banks on Tom Holland for a big debut - CNN (CNN)

After swinging through New York City as Spider-Man, Tom Holland returns this weekend with another film that has him dangling from great heights.

"All of these films seemed impervious to any negative effects that the pandemically challenged marketplace may have thrown at other films," Dergarabedian said. However, a huge question remains: Can Sony nab a boffo box office with Holland not in his spidey suit? Since shattering box office records, the Marvel film has become one of Hollywood's most successful blockbusters ever, notching nearly $2 billion worldwide. The film brought in $3.7 million for its Thursday previews. While "Uncharted" has a lot going for it, it is still a movie based on a video game — a genre that "has had one of the most uneven track records in the history of the box office," according to Dergarabedian. The film is projected for roughly a $30 million opening over the holiday weekend.
