The movie “Uncharted” uses the same tropes as the video game series, but blatant inaccuracies may leave a bad taste for original fans.

The movie, released Feb. 18, follows treasure-hunter Nathan “Nate” Drake, played by Tom Holland, as he is roped into an adventure to find the lost treasure of Ferdinand Magellan. He is pulled into this world by Victor “Sully” Sullivan, played by Mark Wahlberg.

The friendship between these two characters is hugely important to the game series, with the third installment, “Drake’s Deception,” showing how the two meet. The movie tosses this storyline, along with the entire father-son type of dynamic, out the window.

Instead, Nate and Sully are hostile towards each other for a good part of the movie while working together. This throws off the expectation that original fans would have. Of course, there was familiar sarcastic banter between characters that fit with the games. Only towards the end of the movie are the two shown with a more familiar dynamic.

In addition, Nate was often seen fighting opponents a bit beefier than him, which was fitting to some of the fight scenes in the game where Nate will throw whatever he can at heftier foes.

As someone who has been waiting for “Uncharted” to be put on the big screen since I was 10, seeing the characters was really fun, even though the storyline is inconsistent with the games.

I understand that movie adaptations of video games, and even books, will have differences and be their own piece of media, but some of these changes bothered me. The personality differences are one thing, but some of the bigger differences in the storyline take away from being engulfed in the story that fans know and love.

The movie chops up different events from the games and uses them, even though the movie is supposed to be set before the events of the games. This doesn’t set the movie up for a future of plotlines consistent with the game’s story.

There was a quick cameo from the game’s voice actor for Nate, Nolan North. I was happy to hear a familiar voice paying homage to the original series circa 2007-2016.

As an adventure movie, “Uncharted” does a decent job. It has scenes reminiscent of movies like “Indiana Jones,” with tense action and unrealistic stunts.

The characters and basic idea of the games are present so that original fans can enjoy seeing more of the series. A couple of end-credit scenes set up the “Uncharted” movie for a sequel, maybe one that better follows the canon of the game and brings in more known characters.

There are definitely plenty of plotlines from the game series for future adaptations to explore. I look forward to seeing more, even though the movie fell short in some aspects of what 10-year-old me hoped for.

“Uncharted” is currently playing exclusively in theaters.
