• UNCHARTED (no spoilers)

    From moviePig@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 6 17:34:21 2022
    An orphan, working as a bartender, goes in search of his long-lost
    brother and, of course, treasure. UNCHARTED stars beefcakes Tom Holland
    and Mark Wahlberg, and features lots of good-looking locales and
    hair-raising CGI. Unfortunately, its five writers (possibly hampered by
    its video-game basis) have provided a story and script straight off a
    tired assembly line. Naturally, a sequel is hinted. Minimally recommended.

    I know nothing about the game, but there's no reason this movie couldn't
    have been a lot better, even keeping the main airborne setpiece.
    The leads had good chemistry and were fun in the better written bits
    of business, the problems were all in the writing (most egregiously
    in sending off the love-interest for the whole last act, but in other
    ways as well).

    As usual, Pitch Meeting has the goods:
