Uncharted is one of Sony's best-selling franchises. It's second only to Gran Turismo with 28 million units sold, which is amazing when you consider that Naughty Dog's action-adventure series started in 2007. So, when news of an Uncharted live-action movie popped up, fans couldn't contain their excitement. Unfortunately, it would take several years for the project to finally gain traction. But, the good news is that Uncharted isn't just here - it's already headed to theaters on February 18 (it's already been out in the UK for a couple of days).
Having said that, critics had a chance to check out Uncharted ahead of everyone else to share their thoughts.
Unfortunately, the early reviews of Uncharted do not paint the franchise's cinematic outing in a good light. Clarrise Loughley of The Independent gave Uncharted 2 stars out of 5, describing the film as "passionless and inert." However, she does take note of Tom Holland's performance, describing it as "quite refreshing" in comparison to "an action landscape largely populated by human bricks." The Telegraph's Robbie Collin was even harsher, noting how the film is "so obviously green-screened, airbrushed, and otherwise climate-controller that it unfolds without a squeak of peril."
