Sacred Symbols+, Episode 169: Uncharted Movie Spoilercast and Review Discussion (Patreon)

Tom Holland as Nathan Drake? On paper, it's a tough sell. But, having seen the Uncharted film in all its big-screen glory, we were left surprised. Why? Because Holland's Drake is a lot better than we thought it'd be. Indeed, the entire film is. Not everything is well done -- are they kidding with Mark Wahlberg's rendition of Sully? -- but Ruben Fleischer's somewhat controversial interpretation of one of PlayStation's biggest games has turned into a commercial hit, with fan opinion diverging heavily from the critical consensus. The results are clear: The film is in the black, it'll certainly receive a sequel, and thus we'll be seeing more of this Drake and Victor. In the meantime, though, let's delve into the nearly-two hour film, get into what we loved, liked, disliked, and hated, and give credit where credit is due to PlayStation Productions' first success story... the first of what will likely be more to come.
