Uncharted Figurines From Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Studios

The video game hero Nathan Drake has been reimagined for the big screen, and now he can be yours in a new line of figurines from Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Studios. The 7-inch tall Uncharted action figure includes 16 points of articulation, movie likeness and a variety of interchangeable parts and accessories to create a true adventurer’s dream!

Nate’s Love Interest

Elena Fisher, the main love interest in the Uncharted games, is a journalist who first encounters Nate and Sully while filming a documentary about their quest for El Dorado. They later marry and have a child, making her one of the franchise’s most prominent characters.

There’s no guarantee that Elena will make it to the big screen in the next film, but should she do, it would be a huge departure for the series — and a welcome addition. Should she do, we’d expect her to be the lead character in a series of films based on the Uncharted series.

Supernatural Events

In some of the Uncharted games, the world is awash in supernatural forces and magic. Whether it’s the ability to fly or a magic portal, these aren’t explained too much in detail, but they’re incredibly powerful, and some of them have even changed the course of history.

While the “Indiana Jones” movies have been known for using these elements in their films, they’ve never delved into the same kind of magic found in Uncharted. It’s a pretty neat trick to make a story about treasure hunting feel like a supernatural adventure, and it works here.

Tom Holland is an engaging actor in the role, but he doesn’t quite fill the Henley of Drake, and the attributes needed for that character — self-deprecation, testosterone-fueled arrogance, and field-tested impulsiveness — are missing.

There’s a lot of death in this film, and it’s a good way to introduce kids to the idea of violence in a video game. But it’s important for families to talk about how those deaths affect the narrative and the character, and what they mean.

Families can also discuss whether or not video games are a good subject for a movie adaptation. While it’s great for young audiences to watch an action-packed film set in their favorite video games, it’s also important that the story stays faithful to the game.

The first Uncharted film, which stars Tom Holland as the beloved video game hero Nathan Drake, is a decent adaptation of the franchise’s best-selling games, but it lacks the sense of excitement and adventure that fueled its success. Some critics have complained that the film veers too far from the story of the original games, and some viewers have been disappointed in its overall quality.

In the end, the climactic action sequences and beautiful scenery do enough to keep the movie on the right track. It’s just a shame that the rest of the film isn’t nearly as strong or as well executed as those sequences.
