Uncharted brings a popular video game franchise to the big screen, and it provides audiences with an enjoyable experience in the process. 

The film follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) and Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) as they work together to find the lost treasure of explorer Ferdinand Magellan. This partnership is a focal point for the movie, as the two must learn to trust each other and work together to succeed. 

The movie is filled with the kind of action scenes audiences have come to expect from modern action films, and even begins with Holland dangling out of a plane. These scenes may not be entirely realistic, but they do succeed in keeping the audience engaged and entertained. 

Holland and Wahlberg both do a good job of depicting their roles, and the development of their relationship over the course of the movie keeps the audience guessing. 

While the film does not break any new ground creatively, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

The movie follows the formula that is present in many successful action films, which includes big-budget action scenes, doublecrosses, and jokes in the middle of intense fights. Although this format is fairly common, especially with the popularity of the Marvel franchise, it still creates enjoyable films.

Overall, Uncharted is by no means a revolutionary film, but succeeds in its goal of entertaining audiences with action, humor, and suspense.
