The movie “Uncharted” was released on February 18, 2022 and features Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg. 

Tom Holland stars as Nathan Drake and Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Both of these actors did a great job portraying these characters. This movie is supposed to be a prequel to the events in the 2007 video game.

Nathan and Sam were at the orphanage and only had each other. They both got caught trying to steal the map for the treasure which later led to Sam being evicted. Before he could get evicted, he left and promised to return but hasn’t. 

Nathan is determined to go on a journey to find the ancient treasure later on Victor “Sully” Sullivan joins him in his quest. Sully claims that he knew Sam and helped him through the process. Both of them want to find this treasure because it can change their lives and Nathan can try to find his brother who disappeared a while back. 

On their journey, they encounter many other people who are hungry for the treasure and try to steal the map or clues Nathan and Sully have to get one step closer to finding the treasure. Turns out that there were a lot of people aware of the treasure and came after it. 

As the movie goes on there are a lot of twists and turns and people betraying each other. When Nathan and Sully are in a hidden cave they find an old ship that was wrecked very badly. They decide to check it out and all of the gold was inside the ship this whole time. 

Many more people come across the ship at the same time and they start arguing over who the gold “belongs’ ‘ to. Sully gets hold of a helicopter and tries to take the ship out but there was more fighting and in the end the ship sank to the bottom of the ocean floor. Later, Sam comes back and explains what happened with him trying to find the gold. 

A strong point in this movie is that the characters showed a lot of determination to find the gold. They worked together and put their very best effort to find what they wanted. Near the end Sully has a character development of learning how to value the right things and not be greedy. 

A weak point in this movie is that sometimes there was too much going on and it was hard to keep up. Newer characters came up which kind of messed up the understanding of the movie. 

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
