Uncharted (2022)

Nathan Drake isi foloseste in sfarsit cultura istorica vasta dupa ce Victor "Sully" il acosteaza pentru a gasi comori celebre.

'Uncharted' e un film de aventuri tip Indiana Jones, bazat pe o franciza de jocuri video preaiubite. Filmul de fata e in mare parte bazat pe cel mai recent joc, Uncharted 4, dar cu cateva schimbari esentiale ca: personaje noi (ca Chloe Frazer), multe personaje cu nume schimbate (Nadine Ross a devenit Braddock), iar Nathan Drake e la inceput de cariera in loc de retras alaturi de sotia lui (care lipseste din film). Filmul e decent, cu actori ce isi merita rolul, dar un pic cam diluat. In mare e totusi satisfacator, probabil mult mai satisfacator daca nu ai jucat si jocul.

Regia:  Ruben Fleischer    

Cu: Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas, Sophia Ali, Tati Gabrielle

Uncharted (2022)

Nathan Drake finally uses his vast historical knowledge after Victor "Sully" recruits him to find famous lost treasures.

'Uncharted' is an Indiana Jones-type adventure film based on a beloved video game franchise. This movie is mostly based on the latest game, Uncharted 4, but with a few key changes: new characters (like Chloe Frazer), many renamed characters (Nadine Ross became Braddock), and Nathan Drake is only just beginning his career instead of having retired with his wife (who is completely missing from the movie). The film is decent, with popular actors who carry their role well, but a bit maybe... diluted. Overall, it's still satisfying, probably much more so if you haven't also played the game.

The Power of the Dog (2021)

Phil este un fermier autoritar si popular ce reactioneaza dur si intimidant cand fratele sau se casatoreste si isi aduce sotia la ferma impreuna cu fiul acesteia.

'The Power Of The Dog' este o drama autentica intr-un cadru western si reprezinta un mult asteptat deliciu - si anume un film regizat de Jane Campion dupa multi ani mai tacuti (Top Of The Lake e singurul titlu din ultimii 12 ani). Ca si alte productii din repertoriul ei, si filmul de fata e plin de originalitate si linii narative neasteptate, precum si un deznodamant ce surprinde. Stilul ei de descoperire inceata, plina de emotii constrastante se pastreaza la fel de incitant, iar finalul nu dezamageste nici in cazul de fata, desi pentru alte motive decat un fan al lui 'The Piano' s-ar astepta. 

Benedict Cumberbatch ar putea fi pomenit pentru jocul sau incredibil, dar ar fi nedrept pus in frunte cand si Kirsten Dunst si Kodi Smit-McPhee sunt foarte remarcabili.
