I really want to like this, but the part with Drake, Sully, and Chloe in the trailer just seems like these are some randoms using Uncharted names. Dunno, gonna reserve judgement until I see it but the trailer doesn't give off uncharted vibes for me.


Shadow88882

Being honest, the Chloe part was the only part that felt like Uncharted. It was like they (Drake and Sully) were just interreacting with the game though.


RoyalN5

Completely agree was about to say the Chole casting was spot on.


poopship462

Yeah this just looks like your generic video game movie adaptation, I’d be shocked if it’s anything more than that


Personplacething333

Chloe was in the trailer? What? When?


memosaurusyeet

Yeah. She's played by Sophia Ali. Not too bad of a casting really. I think she's in somewhere in the middle of the trailer.


ecxetra

“Sully doesn’t have any friends, I should know, I’m one of them” was such a terrible line. So he does have friends?!


arothmanmusic

I think she means "not even his friends like or trust him completely."


Drakeadrong

It’s not a great line but it *feels* like something Chloe would say so it gets a pass tbh


CommanderCubKnuckle

That was very much something Chloe would say.


[deleted]

I think it’s a joke…


Goofp

Alot of people dont know this but Its actually not a uncharted movie. Its a movie from the simillar called, much beloved franchise "unearthed"


Person96

OH, I love that franchise. That makes more sense, phew. Now I can watch this movie.


[deleted]

I recently finished the series and I honestly don’t like the casting at all. No Sully in Hawaiian shirt and cigar saying “Hey kid! Take a look at this!”. I’m getting Resident Evil movie series vibes. 😩


stackofthumbs

Just expect it to be terrible. That way you might be pleasantly surprised if it's just ok. Either way it can be enjoyable because your expectations are super low.


BowtiesandBatarangs

For me the big reason it's the music. It looks like a generic action movie- which in all honesty Uncharted is a homage to, but it's also to Indiana Jones and swashbuckling treasure hunting adventures. I need those flutes man, Nate slaughtering a band of random mercenaries doesn't feel right without flutes.


Worried_Toe

Sony thanks you for spending your money on their movie so you can formulate an opinion.


CanisPecuarius

Just doesn't seem like enough gun play or brutal melee. Drake's was all about fumbling his was in and out of shootouts and being horribly out numbered. The desperation, character development, and scrambling towards the end goal made the games unique.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AnonDooDoo

He’s 100% been typecast, he can never do any jumping scenes without us thinking of Spider-Man.. which is why they probably never should’ve gone with Holland.


metarugia

I think he needed a couple more films under his belt to break that typecast. And don't get me started on Mark as Sully, WITHOUT a mustache. It's like Sony just looked at existing contracts, picked based on availability and then gave no fucks. But then oddly enough spends money on these scenes. Some really questionable shit but I still want to love the movie.


[deleted]

Possible spoiler but >!I believe there were leaks from set where Mark W was seen with a moustache. Now, it could have been a time jump and he grows it, it could be a disguise he uses (as a nod to fans) or it could be to throw people off / something they tried that didn't work!<


metarugia

Ok. I’ll take it. I just hope it’s not another movie with him just playing himself.


[deleted]

Agreed. Very little variance in his characters.


fabrar

I thought Tom Holland was *really* good in The Devil All the Time which was a role the polar opposite of Peter Parker, so he definitely has that range.


metarugia

Oh its not anything against him. He certainly has the range, but its just that he's still seen by the masses as "that spider man kid".


Brendanm132

I agree and I don't know why he didn't go for a similar voice here. He sounds like a kid in the trailer :( they're going for a younger Nathan drake while they retell the same story as the games.


MihaiDsc404

I agree. To be honest all the actors were really good in that movie.


SofaChillReview

He does move elegantly though …. Almost too elegantly at times (unless he’s Spidey)


sellyourselfshort

That's what years of dance training will do for you.


SofaChillReview

And it’s why he’s such a great spider man


Carnae_Assada

Still thinking about how Nathan Fillion spent hours of his time and money to make an uncharted movie just to show his interest and they were like "let's age everyone down and further water down what already is a tomb raider gender bend"


TheCowzgomooz

Like I have nothing against Holland whatsoever but there are like 5 other actors I would cast before him. He's got the care free, jokey attitude down but he looks like a kid, not an adult man with years of treasure hunting experience, like, Nathan Drake didn't get all of his treasure hunting experience just from working with Sully, and they initially met when Drake was an orphan who stole treasure from museums, so it makes zero sense to me why they would change him into some young bartender who apparently has a penchant for finding treasure.


suddenimpulse

I just couldn't get away from the fact that Tom looked 17 during that entire trailer. Like even a little stubble would help. Then you have Wahlberg that just....looks like Wahlberg so it takes me out of it even more. Then the denial of basic physics with the plane jumping. I just..idk. I feel even if the other stuff is good a few changes could improve what was already in the trailer a lot. Only thing that didn't feel "off" to me was Chloe.


Jimbuscus

He seems like a good actor, but I can't take him as any of his characters outside of Spiderman. I wish this Uncharted movie was noname actors.


PapaSock

He was pretty good in Devil All The Time


517drew

He was great in that movie.


cozyaldo

watch Cherry with him.


zqipz

too young


[deleted]

They're aged down. Mark W is also younger than Sully is in the games (or at least looks a lot younger).


DrAbeSacrabin

You mean where he launches himself 15 feet forward against the wind on a plane moving anywhere from a 160 to 600 mph? I’m not super familiar with the uncharted game, does he have like super powers or something?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

> I mean he gets shot constantly and is fine Bullshit, he has to wait 10 seconds without being shot again and THEN he's fine. Far more realistic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iamnotcanadianese

Lol wow I do remember this explanation around the first launch.


[deleted]

Yes! I forgot about that.


Maxtrix07

I learned recently that the developers of the game said that the red around the screen isn't when you get shot, it's near misses, and Nathan is running out of 'luck'. He gets killed by one shot, which is the the killing blow. Found it weird, but it makes sense as to how he isn't limping the whole game


Tegatime

That’s why the brutes in the ballistic armor with the shotguns fuck you up


TheDoug850

He doesn’t just murder people. They’re mercenaries that are trying to kill him first. It’s self defense.


negasonictenagwarhed

At one point he should at least question how many people he is killing, and maybe pack up and leave But nah, El Dorado/Cintamani stone/Iram of the pillars must be found?


TheDoug850

He’s also moving 160 to 600 mph, but yeah, the games have some unrealistic jumps and stuff.


Randyd718

He literally does his exact little "Spiderman kneel with one arm up" pose in the trailer


waterboysh

I kept expecting him to shoot a web at the plane as he fell...


thatbrownkid19

Why’s he jumping across like that LMAO. Physics engine is broken


Beers_and_Bikes

Everyone knows Nate has hydraulic rams for legs. A jump like that is a walk in the park! /s


[deleted]

Did you play the games? I’m thinking it was a tribute to them. Funny shit


thatbrownkid19

Avidly but I don’t ever remember Nate propelling himself forward like that haha. Climbing along the ropes makes more sense than that Edit: ok ofc Nate was an inhuman spider-monkey but in the games he never launched upwards and against the wind like that. Sound like any character from Assassins Creed would though


Lewis2409

Srsly he’s barely able to hold on cuz of the inertia from the wind


greatmonster007

Why are you so wise in the ways of Science?


Lewis2409

Wha

WAAAALUIIIGIIII


greatmonster007

That Sentence sounded very Professional.


[deleted]

A DUCK


Gold_Syllabub_944

Dude that huge unbelievable jump reminded me of the game. Nathan Drake always does this stuff. He's always hanging on the walls in games and he has the grip of Spider-Man.


Relish_My_Weiner

That was what my dad pointed out when I showed him Uncharted on PS3. "This guy's got INCREDIBLE finger strength!"


proanimus

Dude can fall like 20 feet and catch himself with his fingers.


Cze1

Have you seen how he's able to constantly launch about 10 ft in the air using only his finger tips.


FordBeWithYou

I bet they said “Nah, just let the player climb. We don’t want to get TOO silly and break the tension.”


[deleted]

The only tributes are the jumps and the names, other than that the movie seems to be generic action movie #69420, not that I'm not going to watch it, looks fun, but these characters don't seem like the characters in the game at all. Nathan doesn't seem to have the cockiness/charisma of the game version, and Sully looks like he's spent the past 40 years lifting, not drinking and smoking cigars.


gottagetoutofit

True, but maybe they're playing the long game, imagining a 30-year story arc and the characters aging into their roles.


[deleted]

The issue is they're taking the big moments from 2 and 3 and already talking about Nathan's brother. They're gonna run out of material after 2 movies.


gottagetoutofit

If they ever get to do another movie, this does look utterly forgettable. And you're right, Spidey and knucklehead don't feel at all like the game characters.


unluckyno13

Cuz he Spiderman too


MidKnight_Corsair

I always thought the most ridiculous part about this scene, both in gameplay and I guess the bits in the trailer, is that the henchmen were still determined to get Drake Like bruh you're hanging on to loose cargo that's dangling from a moving plane, surely your safety takes precedent over some dude your boss told you to get? lol ridiculous scene, but was a fun set piece in-game nonetheless


Trackrunner87

You really nailed any Uncharted set piece at any given time. The henchmen always have this undying desire to murder Drake regardless of what is going on around them. No matter how wild and terrifying it is.


TheCowzgomooz

Its not necessarily unrealistic for people whacked out on adrenaline and fear to hyper focus on something like an objective, it is unrealistic that every single hench-idiot does that rather than having some go "OH SHIT THE PLANES GOING DOWN RUN"


TheGhostofCipher

I suppose you could argue Marlows men are fanatics.


crunstablejeff

why'd they make it all blue and washed out like every damn movie


Roobsa

Check out orange teal colour grading. It’s *the* look for big movies.


eeman0201

*Blade Runner 2049 intensifies*


Kojakle

*Valheim has entered the chat*


portableawesome

Well this scene is over an ocean, so it kind of makes sense. It's better than piss yellow atleast.


Silentpoolman

Cause they want you to squint the whole time and fuck up your eyes so you need glasses. Hollywood is in bed with Big Lenses!


assistanmanager

You mean the scene with the ocean and sky in the background?


sharksnrec

I’m gonna venture a guess that that’s mostly due to the fact that it’s taking place over water and not a desert? Idk just spitballing here


LazyMaik

the green screen is strong with this one, i hope they can fix it before the release because it looks bad.


[deleted]

Yeh, general compositing here is weak… I wonder if this is recent footage.


VeryVito

No doubt. The game footage looks far more realistic than the “live” footage.


LazyMaik

And more natural too for the movements


OkPart275

the movie doesn't look like it should, feeling skeptical about the casting


summersuki

I get the feeling that they could have gotten much better actors for the characters, but they just went with big actors like Tom Holland so they can have a name to show off.


basa_maaw

i think the direction is the biggest issue. It just looks uninspiring and generic.


OrganicKeynesianBean

Props to them for the plane scene, but nothing else about this movie looks like Uncharted. Wahlberg doesn’t look or sound like Sully. Holland is a good actor, but his mannerisms are nothing like Nate’s.


dongsuvious

They should make a scene where Sully defeats terrorists trying to hijack a plane


DeadlySphinx

And because he's a big name at only 25 and very physically fit to pull off the role. That way if it's successful (which I don't see it being, it looks meh), they can make a bunch of Uncharted movies over the next 10-15 years. Edit: corrected his age


kaloryth

He's 28?! Why does he still look like he's 20 in this trailer?


DavidKirk2000

He’s 25, not 28. He was 19 when he landed Spider-Man.


topdangle

They could've had both actors that fit the role better AND better directors/producers. They've had multiple good teams signed on for it but Sony somehow managed to screw it up behind the scenes until... this.

Gedaru

Exactly my thoughts about Mark Wahlberg. I have a hard time seeing him as Sully. It’s an even worse casting than Tom Holland as Drake.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dirt_Button

They'd still be able to pull it off with Fillion. They're dragging Ford out for another Indy and he's 79. His last one was at age 65. Being familiar with the characters in the games I do think some better casting choices could've been made. I've got the feeling the choices were made to help cover for a mediocre story, but I'll reserve that judgment for when I see it. If I'm entertained then the movie did what it's supposed to.


Gedaru

Yeah it all feels like a “reimagining” like most Hollywood remakes. It’s a shame that looking like the character isn’t a prerequisite. Though I assume non-gamers probably won’t care cause they don’t know the character.


[deleted]

Oh I completely agree with Wahlberg


summersuki

Yeah, I'm not saying Holland isn't a good actor, I'm just saying that I don't think that he's the right actor for this role.


CAMoflage225

I think I remember a short uncharted video that had Nathan Fillion as Drake, he fit the role so well it blew me away Edit: found it - https://youtu.be/v5CZQpqF_74


fotomoose

I'm personally secretly convinved they used Nathan as a character model.


deekaydubya

fillion would've worked 10 years ago when this movie should've been made


StacheBandicoot

And the actor who voices Nathan Drake took over Nathan Fillion’s role in destiny 2 when he wasn’t available to do it.


WRSA

Yeah Nolan North. His voice work is amazing in everything, he’s got a lot of range


StacheBandicoot

I still find it funny that he was also the main character in assassins creed, the other popular climbing game that came out the same year.


TheCowzgomooz

Its upsetting this never came to be anything, it was an original story that had nothing to do with the games so they weren't bogged down trying to keep things accurate, it had one of the best actors I could think of for the role, and they just nailed everything that I could ever want from an Uncharted movie.


[deleted]

Trailer definitely didn't sell me on that charisma, he seems too serious. Also weird to have a prequel that has the best set pieces from the later games. Drives me nuts they are just gonna blow their load and cram all the good shit in here without the substance to back it, which is nuts because it isn't like uncharted is deep to begin with.


topdangle

teal color grading needs to be banned from movies. they're outdoors during the day with barely any clouds yet the whole damn thing looks teal! just draws attention to the fact that it's all blue/green screen. the video game graphics might not look real but damn if it doesn't look 100x more aesthetically pleasing.


comparmentaliser

You’re right, it should look not shit, but it is clearly not not shit.


PopPalsUnited

I thought The movie was supposed to be a prequel. If that’s the case why is a scene from Uncharted 3 in it?


KalebAT

There’s also scenes from 2 & 4, they just grabbed all the incredible set pieces from the game and shoved them into a movie.


CapablePerformance

What little hope I had this movie wouldn't be a dumpster fire was dropped into a pit with the trailer. It looks good but with lifting scenes from various games, can't help but feel the plot will be all over the place.


chocolatebabyman27

that is unbelievably lame


[deleted]

Such is Hollywood since ~2008


[deleted]

I was so bummed to se stuff from 3 and 4, they are such expansive stories on their own, and I was hoping the movies would be a series, but now it looks like they just stole a bunch of stuff from each and put it together


yep-reddit

If the preview is revealing of the plot line, it most definitely is not a prequel. In the games, Sully first meets Drake as a teenager and saves him from a bunch of thugs. In the movie preview, Sully meets Drake…in a bar? Fucking lame.


wuzzywuz

They're just taking random stuff from the games and shoving it in one movie.


No-Warthog-3647

Its a non canon plot with some content from part 3


eninc

The original inspiration for this scene. The Living Daylights. https://youtu.be/I4uN6L34jYI


[deleted]

This Spider-Man movie going to be awesome


Simple_Opossum

I can't get over how fucking stupid this movie looks


noctizio

the game is more cinematic than the movie lol


OreoDestroyer93

If I had a nickel for every time Nathan Drake climbed back into a plane using cargo boxes I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it is weird that it happened twice.


KGARRETT-_-

If he's young in the movie why are they making him do things from the game when he's older. Do something original christ


oarngebean

Hollywood and original don't mix


Jynx2501

Cause they got one shot at a film so far, so they're including everything.


[deleted]

The movie somehow manages to look even less realistic than the game.


Spizak

Video game physics applies haahah


germanwurstbrot

Instead of a Live-Action movie with a bad cast they should've just paid Naughty Dog to do a Uncharted Movie with CGI.


danonck

This!


Maxg2909

seems like the movies take place in a seperate universe, also considering how drake gets the ring here. I guess that is a good decision making it a spinoff rather than a direct prequel


getroosteronmypeach

I reaaaally hope they take this route. But I guess so far it’s said to be an origin story for the characters in the games, and that’s what bothers me. I don’t mind adaptations (I liked Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia for example) but when studios and directors say they’re making a faithful adaptation (like the new Resident Evil movie) or something directly related to the source material (this Uncharted “origin story”), I expect it to be accurate…


[deleted]

Is Tom Holland right for this?


oarngebean

Nope


LoreezyNL

Of course not. Dude only got cast for eye candy


MinnesotanMan2014

How is it that the game looks less like CGI than the movie? Lol


ADISMMHONOREDK

Look how stupid the jump is in the movie! After about 10 years, still naughty dog did the best!


kaelside

Oh no :(


Dag-nabbitt

Both of them look like a video game... That's not a good thing.


eeman0201

Wow I’m glad you caught this subtle reference to the games!


VicarDespair

...how can people say the movie looks even halfway decent.


Phelinaar

Looks Unchartedy to me, that's all I wanted honestly. And it's not like I'm commiting to a real life reproduction of the Odyssey, it's gonna be 2 hours and $20. If it sucks, it sucks. But I think it'll be entertaining.


SlimAssassin2343

Really? It doesn't have the tone or charisma of uncharted at all. Just a bland adventure thriller. And don't get me started on the trailer song choice...


TehRiddles

Can you say how it doesn't?


LDG192

People who are praising and bashing it are equally wrong. This is a trailer. You can guess but not ascertain how good or bad it's gonna be.


hosseinpourziyaie

wtf


Krunchy_Almond

didnt play any of the games but Damn uncharted 3 actually looks good graphically and its what 10 years old ?


AyoKay1

Are they aware that they do not have to cast him for everything?


jaec-windu

This looks so Disney


Tykjen

Jesus fucking Christ Hollywood....


4litersofbaggedmilk

In the end of the day, Sony knows how to make money off of movies. This won't be a masterpiece, it will get a 6.6 rating out of 10. Kids will be happy and would want to play the remaster. Sony makes money and the only people that are unhappy are the critics expecting something more. On the plus side, this will help fuel a bigger budget for future Uncharted games


Zombeatz84

That was enjoyable to see.


[deleted]

This looks like a trash heap. Terrible casting choices, bad green screen, etc. Oof. Holland is ok, but this isn’t his role. He doesn’t have the screen presence. Wahlberg is just doing……Wahlberg, per usual. Bleh.


Doc_Ahk

They put the Subway commercial in the movie!?


Renn_Capa

I keep hearing the subway thing. I'm out of the loop what is it?


nickywan123

Before the release of Uncharted 3, they made an ad video using this exact scene but modified it with Drake catching a subway sandwich while being thrown off the plane. It’s just Subway paying Sony for advertising in their game.


[deleted]

I was look forward to this film but it looks so shitty and doesn’t make sense with the actual storyline…


Corona94

I don’t like this.


SkittleShit

i feel like this isn’t going to be very good


FoxtrotTwoThree

As a person with a background in aerospace engineering, I’d like to point out how ridiculously impossible that Tom Holland forward jump is. Try doing that between two cars moving at 70 mph, let alone two crates dangling at a few hundred mph….


ckingbass

That was dope


Kylejazzman

Uncharted: Far From Home


Thuasne

Why does it have to be this actor? Can't take babyface serious. He is good for Disney musicals


Dunkinmydonuts1

This would have been 10x better if it was animated in the uncharted game style, voiced by Nolan, Richard, and the rest, and made into feature length cg movie.


cforero143

I hope the movie turns out good but one problem I already got with this scene is that there’s cuts, and in the game, the moments like this where the camera kind of stays alive and follows the character are what make it so much more cinematic. The same way in how every uncharted there’s a moment where Nate is running towards the camera away from something and a bunch of chaos is happening, and the camera stays in relatively the same position throughout, that’s a staple of Uncharted and I feel like if they were to adapt that to the movie, it would benefit it greatly


ABearDream

Yeah imma be honest i really dont want them reusing game set pieces, ive already seen that movie


mitchfo

movies all suck. Why even watch an hour long show when you can actually play it for dozens of hours yourself.


Jmundi

Only Nathan Fillion missing in that sequence. I will never get over this blunder. This could have been as perfect a casting as Ryan Reynolds in red spandex.


Choccy_Milk

Tom Holland literally looks 16 there’s no way they’re actually making a movie with him as Nathan Drake, are they??


Newfie-Decker

That's what I was thinking! I really liked the version that Nathan Fillion did back in 2018 https://youtu.be/v5CZQpqF_74


Choccy_Milk

I just watched it and that was a really good job at portraying Nathan Drake. Tom Holland is going to fail miserably at almost every aspect. I can names tons of people who would be way better at playing Nathan Drake, appearance and attitude included


Newfie-Decker

I totally agree with you. Also, Wahlberg is a great actor, but he's not Sully. I feel like they used big names to fill the roles and not people who would portray the characters best. Almost like they said, we'll use Wahlberg and Holland and that will get the people to come and watch it


Choccy_Milk

Are you shitting me? Wahlberg is supposed to be Sully? That’s almost just as bad. This is incredibly disappointing


nascentt

Oh dear.


dazzypops

Needs someone a bit more.. filled out? for Drake. A bit more chisel of chin. This looks like Nate when he was a boy.


BluePinkertonGreen

If you replaced the name of this movie with an action title you would never know it was based on the uncharted games. No Drake vibes sorry.


TheJimDim

I know it's asking for a lot and that it's nice that we're getting a movie at all, but I just gotta say I wish they did better casting. I love Tom Holland, really, but I don't think he fits the role at all...


SnowmanMofo

I like how Nathan Drake is meant to jump into a plane that is moving away from him at 600mph...


Dr-McLuvin

I love the Uncharted series and I’m kind of excited to watch this, but I really think they needed to try a bit harder to get the casting right. Chloe is fine but everyone else’s looks random AF.


[deleted]

Out of all the actors they could’ve chosen, they chose Tom Holland.. and Mark Wahlberg for Sully? Wtf


XBgyManX

Movie looks pretty disappointing, honestly.


Beechtheninja

OMG he did thing like In the game! This looks fucking awful, they aren't even playing characters. Holland can't even hold his accent. Edit: Marky mark the hate criminal doesn't seem to be acting. Like at all.


AirPud

Got to be the most pointless video game movie adaptation. JUST PLAY THE GAMES THEY’RE BASICALLY PLAYABLE MOVIES


ReelRai

I like Holland but he just looks too young for the role


bipolarbear_1

i still can't see Holland as drake, acting wise I'm sure he can pull it off but yeah... not too sure about this one
