The visuals are eye-grabbing and the action sequences are inventive and exciting. The banter is fun between Holland and Wahlberg, the action set pieces are brisk, and the third act in particularly is just a showstopper of big action bravado. It's a race against time and while it doesn't reinvent the action-adventure wheel, Uncharted is a perfectly diverting piece of entertainment. He's a brainy bartender who is looking for some hidden Magellan treasure, and maybe his missing older brother too, and is aided by Victor "Sully" Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg), an Army vet with a shared goal of retrieving the gold before his rival, wealthy industrialist Santiago (Antonio Banderas). The game was in development for so long that the producers have finally ditched Nathan Fillion, the celebrity doppelganger in look and attitude of the game's swashbuckling protagonist Nathan Drake, and resorted to everyone's favorite web-slinger Tom Holland as a younger version of the hero. While playing the globe-trotting, puzzle-solving, treasure-hunting action-adventures, it feels very much like you're already in the middle of a big-budget Hollywood blockbuster. The successful Uncharted series (2007-2016) are some of the most movie-ready video games for big screen adaptation.
