Based on the early UnchartedMovie reviews, you might be better off staying at home and playing the games on PlayStation. 😬 'There truly is no future for the video-game-to-movie adaptation if Hollywood can’t even crack Uncharted.'
The first reviews for Uncharted are in, and they have few nice things to say about the video game adaptation. Still fresh off the incredible box office success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tom Holland will soon be seen in another potential blockbuster for Sony. Inspired by the popular video game series developed by Naughty Dog studios for PlayStation, the Uncharted movie entered development in 2008, suffering a long and painful process with various writers, directors, and cast members attached.
The film finally got off the ground when Mark Wahlberg signed on to play Sully, followed by Holland's casting as a younger iteration of Nathan Drake. To direct a script penned by Rafe Lee Judkins , Jon Hanley Rosenberg, and Mark D. Walker, Venom's Ruben Fleischer was brought on board. Antonio Banderas stars as the villain alongside Tati Gabrielle as his sidekick. The last notable cast member includes Sophia Ali as Drake's love interest.
Historically, critics haven't been very kind to video game adaptations, so the response to Uncharted isn't very surprising. The last notable video game adaptation to hit theaters was Mortal Kombat which was similarly slammed by critics, though it did well enough at the box office and on HBO Max for Warner Bros. to recently green-light a sequel.
Critical reactions rarely have a substantial effect on a movie's performance at the box office, though it remains to be seen how Uncharted will fare. Its similarities to Indiana Jones should be enough to coax audiences out to the multiplex, coupled with Holland's charisma as a star who is still riding the Spider-Man: No Way Home wave. Audiences will soon be able to head out and make up their own minds about the Uncharted movie. .
