The film is not a complete catastrophe – but nobody will leave the cinema really enthusiastic. The weaknesses in the script and story are just too big for that.
„Uncharted“ im Kino: Does Sony believe in the film itself?
Whether Sony can still lay the desired foundation for a new film series with “Uncharted” will depend on whether the title and the main actors can attract enough viewers to the cinema despite the poor reviews.
