It’s no secret that I didn’t like Sony’s feature film adaptation of Uncharted. I thought it was an awful, terribly made film. I didn’t even find it remotely fun or entertaining. I was just annoyed the whole time that it just kept getting worse and worse as the movie played out.
Anyway, I’ve got a new episode of Pitch Meeting here for you to watch and it does a great job of hilariously pointing out every problem with the movie that made it so bad. This is every single problem that I had with the movie.
Video games tend to not do super well when adapted to the big screen, but gosh dangit, Hollywood’s determined to keep trying. The latest attempt is Uncharted, based on the popular game series called Uncharted. With a surprisingly good performance at the box office, maybe they’ll keep on doing this kind of thing?
The Uncharted movie definitely raises some questions though. Like why were Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg chosen to star as characters they seem nothing like? How has nobody explored the very accessible ancient access points in Barcelona, one of which is literally in a Papa John’s pizza shop? How did Sully and Nathan get into the trunk of that car on the cargo plane? How did Moncado miraculously not lose a single drop of blood? Why can’t iconic characters wear their iconic outfits in movies anymore?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Uncharted! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Enjoy!
