I was in middle school when I first heard about the game Uncharted. At that time, "Uncharted: Across the Four Seas" had just been released, and it was the first time during the summer vacation that I felt the game world was so colorful, with exciting fighting gunfights, twisting and moving plots, and Nathan, a charismatic treasure hunter (how could I? Said to be a tomb robber) left a deep impression on me. Now, "Uncharted" has been out for four generations, and the adapted movie has also met with us. As an old player, I also went to complement my childhood feelings. Speaking of
, the game adaptation movie is also a "big problem". There are no outstanding works in recent years. The best performance in the Chinese market is " Warcraft " 6 years ago. But even a big IP like Warcraft experienced a big dip after the box office explosion in the first week of its release. In the end, the global box office was 432 million US dollars. After deducting various shares and expenses, Legendary Pictures and Blizzard The may have lost a bit.
This makes me still a little nervous about the quality of the movie, but as a player, it is always a joy to make a movie from a favorite game. And the performance of winning the overseas box office championship for two consecutive weeks seems to indicate that this adaptation of "Uncharted" is still worth watching? Who are the characters in
?
"Uncharted Sea", as a famous masterpiece of Sony , has produced four generations of works since 2007, in addition to two derivative games and several comics. One of the well-received points of this series of games is that the plot is compact and rich, and the characters are very detailed and in-depth. Not only the protagonist Nathan, but also the supporting characters in each series have a place for you to remember.
Of course, the length of a movie will obviously not create so many characters. The Holland brother starring in "Uncharted" only appeared in a few key roles in the series. Other important roles, such as Nathan's wife, did not. Appearance. But just like this, the appearance and introduction of the key characters in the movie are quite vague, so before we start the plot, let's briefly talk about the relationship between several people in the movie for readers who are not familiar with "Uncharted Sea".
Elena did not appear in the game
Nathan (Nate) Derek, the first protagonist of the Uncharted series, debuted for the first time in the first game in 2007, Nathan is relatively mature in the game, the main character is humorous, has his own Persistent but sometimes very out of tune. He claimed to be a descendant of the 16th century British navigator Francis Drake , but he was actually an orphan, and finally gave up his attachment to his identity in the third work.

Dutch brother Nathan
and the Nathan timeline in the movie is before the first game, so it looks a little green. By the way, I will mention the acting skills of the Dutch brother. It can be seen that the acting skills of the Dutch brother have grown a lot after several " Spider-Man ". It is his strength. After the muscle gain, the movements are still smooth and natural, and the style of Jackie Chan is deliberately imitated, which also makes his action scenes more enjoyable to watch. Several action scenes in the movie are his leading role, and the completion degree is also quite good.
Victor Sullivan, Nathan's good partner. He is more greedy for money and more selfish than Nathan, but when Nathan is in trouble, Sullivan will always come to help him deal with the trouble. The two of them always fought side by side, more like a father and friend relationship.
who plays Sullivan is "Transformers 4" male lead Mark Wahlberg , he is also an old acquaintance in Hollywood movies. Speaking of which, I have to mention that the selection of "Uncharted" is sparse. From the establishment of the project to the start of filming, six or seven directors and several leading actors have changed. The shooting plan has been delayed for two or three years, and it may be changed to the end. Even the investors I don't even know who to choose. Mark Wahlberg, who is usually complained by the audience for playing a bitter face, is not suitable for gag and old Sullivan. After watching the movie, the actual effect is as expected, but as the movie progresses, Sullivan's image is slowly standing, and it can be regarded as getting better.
always has a bitter face
heroine Chloe Fraser is Nathan's partner in the second part of the game, and the two of them also have some ambiguous scenes in it. She is a professional explorer who originally worked for the villain "Felin"However, when he learned of the other party's conspiracy, he came to help the actor Nathan at the time. Chloe is brave, humorous and proficient in gunfighting and fighting. In the movie, the two are still in the state of first acquaintance, and Chloe's role is relatively small.
Chloe
The mercenary Natien is the villain in the movie, and she made her first appearance in "Uncharted 4" when she kidnapped Nathan's brother Sam. Although the explosive head of the game has been changed to the silver short hair in the movie, the fierce and powerful character is still the same.

In terms of image, the restoration of the two female characters is actually better, but the film shows more of the character development of the two male protagonists. Chloe and Natien become It is a big pity for the two people who have plump images in the game. Fortunately, in general, the characters in the movie are relatively restored. Although there are shortcomings, they are still much stronger than the "innovation" that is flooded in various game adaptation movies.
The scene, the plot, and the homage to
's Uncharted plot is primarily a treasure hunt. The
movie starts with a big exciting scene. Nathan opened his eyes and found himself suspended thousands of meters away from the plane, surrounded by people shooting frantically at him. In such a day-bump start, the average person is a large group of "YOU DIED", but Nathan, who has the protagonist's halo, is full of stats, tossing and turning on the floating box, and after killing his opponent, he climbed into the plane with difficulty.
But the crisis was still there. As soon as he climbed into the plane, a red Mercedes-Benz car rushed towards him, and Nathan, who could not dodge in time, was knocked out. He kept rolling in the sky, and just when he was desperate, a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him and grabbed him...
This action scene ends here. The whole process is actually less than 5 minutes, but it is enough to watch the tension and excitement, and sweat for the protagonist. In addition to the excellent special effects, sound effects and actors' performances in the movie, there is also the foundation of the game - the inspiration for this scene is the classic aircraft battle in "Uncharted 3".

Then, the director used an editing technique to pull the story back to the memories of Nathan and his brother.
Nathan's older brother Sam has dreamed of being an explorer since he was a child, and his words and deeds also influence his younger brother. Once, when they were young, they wanted to steal Magellan's nautical charts, but were found by guards. For this reason, the older brother was forced to be taken away, leaving a ring and a letter with a code word to Nathan as a child. Sam had said that he would come back to see him, but Nathan, who had grown up after all these years, had never seen his brother. This plot is actually quite important. It not only explains the reasons for Nathan's subsequent adventures, but also implies the clues to find the treasure later.
's way of interspersing memories and mentioning important plots also has some shadows in the game. Once the thrilling scene at the beginning of "Uncharted 2" is over, Nathan fell into his past memories. There are many more tribute scenes like this in the movie, and the attentive audience can find more easter eggs.
"Uncharted 2" begins with picking up the train
The next plot is that Sullivan finds Nathan, who is still a laborer, and reveals Sam's news with him, and invites him to find gold. Of course, it is not only their team who are looking for gold, but also the villains headed by the rich Moncada are also eyeing this batch of gold, and Natien is the leader of his mercenaries.
Nathan and Sullivan's plan did not go well. Nathan was reckless and irritable, and Sullivan was selfish. At the beginning, the two did not trust each other, and cooperation was frequent. The operation of stealing the golden cross at the auction went awry. When Nathan went to the power outage, he was found trapped in a siege by the guards, but Sullivan gave up and went on his own. Of course, Nathan won't sit still. As a "tomb thief" as famous as Laura, Nathan's passive skills are that he can fight and run, pick up lamps, play with wine bottles, and engage in a "salutation to Jackie Chan-style fight". . After some twists and turns, he and Sullivan joined together and cooperated to go to the treasure. During this period, I got to know Chloe, and also spent a pleasant night at the hotel (but was crabbed).
Nathan picks up the light tube and
plays very nicely, but the treasure hunt process is a bit difficult to describe. There is a storyline where Nathan and his group were looking for clues to ancient treasures from the church. They walked along the secret road, and they actually passed an open door.Arty's small bar, the silent passage is really behind the wall of this bar. How to say, ancient treasure meets reality? It's a bit of magical realism... A director interviewed and said: "We treat action scenes with the highest standards." After a protracted treasure hunt, the villains and the villains came to Magellan's gold ship. Natien called the transport plane to transport the big ship, and the protagonist and the ship they were in the air fought fiercely. After the stage of pure literary drama, the action drama combined with the plot makes the rhythm of the film abruptly accelerated. The sky, the ocean, guns and swords are intertwined. In fact, this is the essence of "Uncharted", and it is also the most exciting part of the whole film.
As for the result, I think everyone understands that the villain can't live to the end, and Nathan, who "goes where he goes", can't get 5 billion gold.
Finally,
after watching the whole film, "Uncharted" is a film that I can hardly evaluate objectively. According to stricter standards, "Uncharted" is not good enough. It has many shortcomings, such as the protracted plot in the early stage, the embarrassment of the treasure hunt process, and Chloe playing soy sauce for a long time, etc., but it still restores a lot of games. Details, like Sullivan and Nathan's occasional gags and tribute scenes, it's hard not to feel. In the
game, Nathan was controlled to walk through El Doredo, the country of gold, the pirate colony of Lebotaria, saw Shangri-La, the paradise of paradise and Ailan, the city of a thousand pillars, ran over the train, jumped over the plane, and threw gold... Watching Nathan in the movie doing the same thing, throwing more gold than I did, couldn't bear to give it a bad review... Uncharted wasn't good enough, but hopefully it can in the future. (At least the play is still very good)
