Drake your whole family along!
The newly released Uncharted film takes viewers on a globe-trotting adventure with a young and somewhat innocent Nathan Drake.
After forming a somewhat rocky alliance, the duo then set off together in search of Magellan’s treasure.
These have always been a bit of a weak point throughout cinema’s history.
They never really manage to hit the sweet spot that their game counterparts do so well.
And a lot of these points do still remain true with Sony’s recent reimagining of Uncharted.
I get all that.
But you know what?
This time, for me anyway, it really didn’t matter.
I really enjoyed Uncharted, and not simply because I am a huge fan of the games.
I just really appreciated the film for what it was.
And what exactly is that?
Well, it’s simple.
- one thing it certainly is?
It’s good, old-fashioned, rip-roaring fun.
And that is just what I needed it to be.
I found a story of humour, friendship and family.
But that’s not all.
On the flip side, there is deceit, there is peril and there is suspense.
But I was emotional in the best possible way.
But I didn’t really find that any of this bothered me as much as I thought it would.
Then, away from our heroes, there are the baddies.
We never get given her backstory, and to be honest we don’t need it for this film.
I for one really hope that this hypothetical sequel does come to fruition.
As a fan I have a bit of a wish list, though.
But next time, and let there be a next time, more Elena yo Sony.
