Uncharted (2022)

20230617:
While I've never played the game, I enjoyed watching Tom Holland in Spider-Man, and the general gist of an Indiana-Jones-like story is surely appealing on its own.

Instant Comments:
1a: I think they showed Victor lifting the piece off of Nathan. [yes, I played it back and it's more clear the second time I watched it]
1a: Paused at 16 minute mark.
1b: Resumed at 16 minute mark.
1b: Smile. "What are you gonna do with that kind of money?"
1b: Huh. I didn't see that lift.
1b: Smile. "I got a bad ankle."
1b: Holy moly. WTF. His own father!?!
1b: "When did you decide you want tobe Indiana Jones."
1b: I feel like all these keyholes could have been picked as opposed to needing the original keys...
1b: Huh. Well salt is valuable?
1b: Why did all the barrels burst?
1b: There were four barrels, and only one map?
1b: That sucks. He saved her life... Though to be fair she didn't shoot him, just knock him out.
1b: Wow. (Jo kills him)
1b: Hehe. He really should have just put on a parachute before doing this.
1b: Huh. In the beginning of the movie it looked like he came too while strapped. But here it doesn't seem that way.
1b: Hehe. Does that make them even?
1b: "Somewhere"
1b: Huh. Who is this person? "Something like that happened to me once." [Apparently he is Nolan North, the voice actor for Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series]
1b: As he's looking at the postcards trying to figure something out, I would think it has to do with lighting the cards just as the hidden message was revealed when Sam gave Nathan the lighter.
1b: It's a good thing Nathan kept all the cards.
1b: Hahaha. That's a good test (he left incorrect coordinates out in the open... if she did the right thing and not just get up and leave she would have been rewarded)
1b: Typical of these types of movies. Everybody always converges to the treasure anyways... (the bad guy sees him passing by and says "what the hell"); though thinking about it, what is she doing near the shore anyways
1b: How did these ships get inside the cave?
1b: That gold must be heavy, but he didn't make it seem heavy.
1b: Smile. "Hey, Jack Sparrow. Stay sharp."
1b: Huh. It didn't look possible to climb up to the helicopter easily...
1b: How much value did those ships go down? (Jo didn't seem to be so upset as she had threatened)
1b: Hehe he picks up the gun holsters, which I believe would be Nathan Drake's classic look
1b: Hehe, the not working lighter.
1b: Hmm... Seems stupid. Gambling with his life. He saw the cannon was about to fire. Could have chose to attempt to dodge it... Though perhaps there was a time slow and there wasn't really much time to react. Perhaps to some extent the reaction of the pilot was unrealistic - he seemed to have a look of relief that it didn't fire but would he have really been able to tell if such a moment occurred?
1b: Hmm. Why would she be greedy with two ships? She could just have the one. In addition, even if a boat sank, you could just launch a diving expedition [this particular point on the diving expedition is addressed in a few minutes]
1b: Smile. "You first."
1b: "We could just get a diving rig." "Not before those guys, it's the property of the Phillipines now."
1b: Also typical. Most of the treasure is lost except for a little bit saved
1b: Huh. Interesting pre-credits scene. Isort of figured but I guess with enough doubt
1b: Mid-credits scene. "Ah crap."
