Behold: The trailer for Uncharted — starring Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, and Sophia Ali — just dropped.

As fans are already aware, the movie is set to be a prequel to the events of the iconic action-adventure video games.

The movie's director, Ruben Fleischer, said that he “made the movie for both hardcore fans of the game and those who are not yet familiar with the franchise and believe that both will be equally entertained by this incredibly fun and action-packed film.”

Now, for full transparency, despite being a huge fan of the video games, I was a tad apprehensive going into this because of an interview Tom gave with GQ earlier this year where he said of his performance, "It was a mistake and is something that I will probably never do again.”

Moving on from that cheerful note, we now have the full trailer! We see Tom as the protagonist Nathan Drake, an adventure-loving explorer:

An obvious point here is that Tom is significantly younger than Drake in the games.

Next we have Mark as Victor Sullivan, aka Sully, Drake's friend and mentor figure:

No, there is no moustache in this version.

We also see Sophia as Chloe, Drake's ally and love interest:

There are a couple of big differences from the game straight off the bat. For one, Nathan and Sully seem to meet while Nathan is bartending — unlike in the games, where they meet in Colombia during a high-stakes robbery and chase while Nathan is a teenager.

Plus, in this version, Chloe and Sully already seem to have an extensive prior relationship.

However, there is a lot of stuff that is straight out of the games. For one, the cargo plane sequence from Uncharted 3:

The final treasure ships from Uncharted 4:

And the heist scene from Uncharted 4:

In fact, a lot of the trailer seems to be referencing Uncharted 4 — from the cross to a part set in Scotland.

It's not entirely clear what kind of villain Antonio Banderas will be — but I'd bet that he'll be a Rafe-like antagonist.

If you're wondering about Nate's brother, Sam, then it's worth pointing out that there are references to him in the trailer — but it's not clear if he'll actually be in the movie or not.

As for my personal thoughts on the trailer...meh. It seems to lack a lot of the classic Uncharted flavor, but I'm also aware of the need to give this movie a shot to exist in its own right.
