Uncharted

A treasure hunt that shows its fantastical nature in the first scene (jumping up a chain of containers hanging from a C-137 while fighting) consistently through the last (Sikorsky sky-crane helicopters in dogfight while towing 500 year old 3-mast wooden ships). So knowing this, it is DaVinci Code + Indiana Jones + Romancing the Stone. Nate, Victor and Chloe (Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg and Sophia Ali) are all treasure hunters, seeking Magellan's lost gold. Santiago Moncado (Antonio Banderas) is the bad guy whose family originally funded the trip and believes he is the rightful owner of the gold. Summer diversion: check.

3 stars (out of 5)
