UNCHARTED 2022 Directed by Ruben Fleischer

It’s light and fun, and the humor is accessible to all ages. While Tom Holland still has the resemblance in playing Peter Parker in here, proves that his talent can do more for other movies. But his charm and skills manage to rise and overpower his identity in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe he’s the next Mark Wahlberg? I don’t know, but Tom manages to have the charisma that you’ll glue your eyes to until the end credits roll.

There is some interesting and clever treasure hunting puzzles in the movie. It’s fun to see a movie that travels around the world again. It makes the movie-watching on the big screen more worth it. Filipinos like me will also be surprised and delighted that the Philippines is mentioned in the film, though fictionalized, the story really does have to connect with the Philippines because of the treasure they’re hunting.

What disappoints me is that the obstacles and mysteries seem too easy for the main characters. They might be knowledgeable about history and antiques, but the execution of the film made it short in tension. And that’s what makes treasure hunting movies exciting, the tension. Those moments when you’re not sure if the protagonist will solve the puzzle and make it until the end, even if you know that it’s a family movie and it’ll most likely be a happy ending.

Uncharted presents why we watch big action-adventure movies on the big screen. While it lacks tension, it’s still a decent and entertaining film for the whole family.
