Uncharted Reviews
…. for those who want ridiculously fun action scenes, funny quips, and several eyefuls of shirtless Tom Holland, Uncharted is an entertaining trek into familiar waters.
| Original Score: 13/20 | Dec 1, 2024
Overall, “Uncharted” successfully captures the puzzle-solving and swashbuckling spirit of its video game source material while harking back to nostalgic action-adventure cinema.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 3, 2024
If you go in expecting a grand adventure, Uncharted likely won’t deliver. Temper your expectations and you’ll likely leave thinking that the film was decent enough, despite having faults
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2024
If this movie has taught me anything it’s that video game movie adaptations will never be a sustainable avenue for Hollywood.
| Original Score: D+ | Sep 23, 2023
What will be most frustrating for fans of the video game franchise and distributors Sony is that the film fails to deliver the same level of quality as its source material, though newcomers might find more to enjoy.

Tom is a solid Nathan Drake Sophia is a great Chloe Mark was Mark…. Nothing against him but he was nothing like Sully. As a long time fan of this gaming series I wanted more & left frustrated even with the fun glimmers that were throughout the film

What started as a video game produced by Play Station became a movie that just doesn’t hit all the notes it desperately tries to.

Uncharted is an action-adventure flick, but despite a more entertaining last act, it fails to break the curse of videogame film adaptations due precisely to the lack of said action and adventure.
| Original Score: C- | Jul 25, 2023
With a predictable plot, rudimentary puzzles, and strawman characters, Uncharted never manages to find its narrative bearings.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023
Uncharted fails to provide the most basic principles of an adventure movie. It is underwhelming and overloaded, without the charm of its clearly Spielberg-ian roots.

Uncharted heads into familiar action-adventure territory making for a forgettable video game adaptation.
| Original Score: C | Dec 4, 2022
While Uncharted rarely veers away from the charted territory, the film has enough fun with itself for an enjoyable ride.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2022
If you squint hard enough, you'll see what makes Holland great—charm, charisma, aw-shucks levels of approachability—but none of it saves the flick from being utterly forgettable.

Uncharted seems fresh in the era of superhero blockbusters. Saying it’s not as great as one of the best video game series ever shouldn’t be a massive indictment as it’s a fun ride with a clear respect for the source material.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 10, 2022
A globe-hopping adventure that manages to be visually boring and charm-sucking.
| Aug 26, 2022
It’s a fun ride, and there’s a cool cameo for gamers to enjoy, but it is not quite the film I had hoped it would be.
| Aug 23, 2022
“Uncharted” really leans on its star power, especially Holland who plays a very Holland-like character – charismatic, boyishly charming, a bit daffy, and with an unshakable innocence (even when he tries to talk tough).
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 16, 2022
The film's secret weapon is Tom Holland's natural athleticism.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2022
If you are after a relatively generic action-adventure, Uncharted probably fits the bill – although a Marvel-like reliance on digital effects does let down its larger action sequences.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Aug 9, 2022
Amidst the lukewarm broth of deepfakes and green screen that make for the main entertainment of this film, there are very few fun, memorable moments except for the most stupid ones, and we'd rather forget about those. [Full review in Spanish]
