Not even a remix of the Uncharted theme during a climactic shootout, padded up to that point by generic action muzak, brings joy. But the execution is flat, inconsequential, and boring. The filmmakers have the right idea of what makes an Uncharted action set piece, whether they’re molding a sequence after something from the games, or inventing something entirely new that would fit within one of them, like a bit involving characters battling inside pirate ships hoisted into the air by airplanes. Tom Holland ( Spider-Man: No Way Home) stars in Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer’s 2022 adaptation of the Uncharted action-adventure video game series as Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who teams up with partner-mentor Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to search for the lost treasure of Ferdinand Magellan.

A late-arriving band of fur traders also offers up some huntable bodies. The other members of Naru’s tribe are there to naysay and/or become Predator fodder. This is a movie about a young woman on a collision course with a spine-ripping alien dude in a cool skull mask. Trachtenberg, who made the similarly pared-down franchise extension 10 Cloverfield Lane, has one major thing to offer in Prey: efficiency.

Here’s everything new you can watch at home this weekend. That’s not all! There’s also a new Ron Howard movie about the Thai cave rescue, a slasher on Peacock, the new Minions movie, an intriguing horror movie starring Rebecca Hall, and so much more.

The new Predator movie, Prey, drops on Hulu (and it’s really good!), three big animated movies ( Lightyear, Luck, and Belle) make their streaming debuts, Uncharted finally lands on Netflix, and two Best Picture nominees - Licorice Pizza and Belfast - finally land on streaming. After a light few weeks in new movie releases, this week is perhaps the busiest of the year so far.
