Uncharted
Based on a video game, Uncharted is a “National Treasure” type hunt for pirates’ treasure searching for maps, keys, & clues to find lost gold. Bartender/pickpocket Nate (Tom Holland) teams up with seasoned fortune hunter Sully (Mark Wahlberg) to find this rumored lost fortune as well as reunite with Nate’s brother/Sully’s partner Sam. Holland’s dance/gymnastics/Spidey skills come in handy for the many athletic movement requirements. Wahlberg brings his fast wisecracking skills to the table. The duo becomes a trio when Chloe joins their forces against Santiago (Antonio Banderas) & his mercenaries led by Braddock. It’s 2 hours of crazy action-packed thrill scenes & puzzle solving skills where you cannot trust anyone. Some spectacular aerial fight scenes occur featuring a cargo plane & helicoptering a couple of old pirate ships. At the end, look for another postcard clue as well as a mid-credit clip suggesting another hunt reuniting this dynamic duo.
Alien gives it 3 “Magellan’s 18” stars out of 4.
