Is Uncharted Kid Friendly? Parents Guide

By: Author tanialamb

Posted on Published: February 25, 2022

Wondering if Uncharted is ok for kids? Rated PG-13 for language and violence, Uncharted is not kid friendly for all ages. However, with Tom Holland’s popularity right now after Spider-Man: No Way Home , many tweens and teens will want to watch this video game adaptation that is a bit meh. Here’s what parents need to know in this Uncharted Parents Guide.

Parents Guide to Uncharted 2022

Street-smart and smart-a** thief Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. It starts as a heist job, but then becomes a race to reach the lucrative prize and treasure before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas) gets to it. Moncada believes his family are the rightful heirs.

Why is Uncharted Rated PG-13?

Uncharted is rated PG-13 for violence/action and language which means some material may not be suitable for children.

There is quite a bit of profanity and language in Uncharted including at least 20-ish uses of sh*t, 3 uses of a**, bit*h, and damn, bastard, and words of Deity.

Mature Content

Violence is PG-13 level in Uncharted with a lot of fighting and uses of weapons like guns, swords, and knives. A man’s throat is slit and you can see some blood.

Some characters drink alcohol and smoke.

There is no real sexual content but you do see a male character shirtless and a female in a bikini top.

Is Uncharted Appropriate For Kids Under 13?

Uncharted is an action-adventure that may have too much action for younger kids. There’s nothing super over the top, so tweens and teens can watch it as long as parents are ok with the violence and profanity. Uncharted is entertaining enough, but there’s nothing new here.

Is Uncharted too scary for kids? There are some jump scenes and threatening situations, but it should be fine for most kids over 10.

Uncharted is based on the PlayStation video game, but instead of having an original script for the film, it felt like a knockoff of several movies. I got Indiana Jones, Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and National Treasure vibes, but all those movies were way better, so I’m not sure what will draw people to the theater besides Tom Holland and boredom.

Is it fun-ish? Sure. There’s plenty of fan service and enough to keep people entertained. I would have liked more backstory and character development. If you’re a Tom Holland fan, then you may be satisfied, but even all his and Mark Wahlberg’s star power couldn’t save the film for me.

About Uncharted (2022)

Street-smart Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada.

What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs.

If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.

Is Uncharted Ok For Kids? Parents Guide and Review

Tom Holland is arguably the biggest or one of the biggest stars on the planet right now.

If your kids watched Spider-Man: No Way Home, they are likely big fans and hoping to see his newest movie.

Is The Uncharted Movie Ok For Kids? In this parents guide and review, we’re breaking down the language, sex/nudity, and violence that happens in the movie to help you determine if watching Uncharted is safe for kids in your home.

uncharted movie parents guide and review

Is Uncharted Ok For Kids? Sex and Nudity

We’ll start with the easy one: is there sex and nudity in Uncharted?

Nate, the main character, is seen a couple of times with his shirt off.

But other than that: there is no sex or nudity in the movie. There isn’t even a romance storyline in this one.

Two characters share a hotel room and are each seen in the same bed, but not at the same time. And the movie never suggests that they have hooked up or had sex- but you can deduce that they slept in the same bed.

Yes: people can share a bed just to sleep!

Uncharted is incredibly tame and safe for kids when it comes to sex or nudity and we feel Uncharted is ok for kids in this aspect.

Violence and Gore In The Uncharted Movie

For an action-adventure movie that is also rated PG-13, Uncharted has typical action violence but not very much blood or gore.

Hand-to-hand combat, chase scenes, weapons like swords, knives, and guns are all used during the movie. There are a lot of scenes where the characters are in great peril, especially at great heights.

People do die in the movie by being shot, falling from heights, knives, and explosions. But much of the actual death is implied and not shown on screen, which we found to be moderately kid-friendly.

There’s one scene where a death occurs in front of us that also shows a small amount of blood. For the record, the amount of blood is very little compared to what would actually happen in a real-life situation, so we’ll take that as a win here.

You do see a dead body at this moment.

We were pleasantly surprised that for the rating of the Uncharted movie at PG-13 that there wasn’t more onscreen death and destruction.

is uncharted safe for kids? parents guide and review

Is Uncharted Movie Scary?

We’d say it’s along the lines of an Indiana Jones meets Pirates of the Caribbean with a little Goonies and Cocktail added in.

If your child can handle a few mild jump scares ala Indy, then they should not find Uncharted to be scary for them.

Language: Uncharted Parents Guide

When it comes to this parents’ guide for Uncharted, it might feel fairly safe and tame.

And truthfully, it is for the most part.

With sex and nudity being taken off the table and the gore and blood almost completely non-existent, why is Uncharted rated PG-13?

The language in Uncharted may be concerning for some families.

The good news is that the swears used were of the more mild types: @ss, [email protected], sh!t, son of a b!tch, and [email protected] were all heard. The bad news is: they use these swears A LOT.

Other concerning language includes words like sucks and p!ss off, plus multiple uses of a diety as an exclamation with OMG-d, [email protected], and Holy Sh!t used frequently.

Nate grew up in a Catholic orphanage and has some thoughts about the nuns who raised him. There is a running joke about how “scary” nuns are, which may or may not be an issue for a Catholic family.

Tom Holland and Antonio Banderas in the Uncharted movie. Is this one kid friendly? Parents guide.

Do you need to know the video game to enjoy the Uncharted movie?

So we think you can go in “cold” so to speak and still have a great time during this one.

We enjoyed the movie and have no connection to the video game ourselves.

In fact, not being huge fans of Uncharted may have helped us enjoy it even more as there were no expectations.

We do suspect, however, that some of the Uncharted easter eggs and jokes were missed since we are not familiar. But even with that, the movie was a lot of fun!

Uncharted Age Rating

The Uncharted movie is rated PG-13 and has an almost 2 hours run time.

If you have teens or tweens, you should feel that Uncharted is safe and kid-friendly for them for the most part.

is uncharted kid friendly? Nate and Sully on a ship.

Can kids 10 and under watch Uncharted? That depends

As always, you know your family best. Is Uncharted movie ok for kids under 10?

If language isn’t a deal-breaker, then this movie could be enjoyed by a younger crowd, possibly even as low as 8 or 9, depending on your previous movie habits.

It’s fairly long, but the action-packed adventure keeps things moving and you truly don’t notice when the time is up!

Are There End-Credit Scenes in Uncharted?

Stick around for not 1 but 2 end-credit scenes in the Uncharted movie.

One occurs right away before the credits start to roll, but there is another one mid-credits.

Both set up the potential for additional movies in this series.

The guide to our grades, parent movie review by keith hawkes.

Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) has been on his own since he was ten, when his older brother Sam (Rudy Pankow) ran off to avoid some legal trouble. Since then, his only contact has been the occasional postcard. But Nate has better things to do than pine after his brother and has made his way as a bartender in New York with a lucrative hobby: picking pockets. This little skill soon attracts the attention of Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg), a thief on a much larger scale, who needs his help to pull off a job. Sully is seeking the lost treasure of Ferdinand Magellan’s famous crew, believed to be hidden somewhere in Barcelona. Before finding Nate, Sully had been working with Sam, who abruptly ghosted Sully after they found a diary filled with clues to the ultimate location of the gold. Eager to find the fortune and his long-lost brother, Nate signs on…but he soon learns that not everyone illegally hunting for historical relics is entirely trustworthy.

Although the individual ingredients of the film are promising, the result is somehow less than the sum of its parts. A madcap international chase for lost treasure is sure to be a good time, but the film seems incapable of sticking to a successful formula, instead indulging in long scenes of pointless interpersonal intrigue and betrayal. Those scenes could have been interesting had they not been so relentlessly predictable and detrimental to the overall plot. Mostly they just slow down the storyline so the film can bloat out to feature-length. Frankly, it would have been better were it about half an hour shorter.

This sickly and implausible lovechild of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, and unfortunately, Fast and Furious, lurches through patches of excitement, but fails to consistently maintain a base level of entertainment. Apart from some scatological profanity and a fascination with alcohol, the film is broadly suitable for younger audiences, but will fail to captivate older ones. Unless, if course, you love watching treasure-hungry robbers carelessly destroy academically priceless centuries-old artefacts in the name of a quick buck. Then you’ll have a ball.

Is Uncharted OK for Kids? - Parent's Guide and Movie Review

Uncharted - Movie Review

Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg star as Nate and Sully respectively in Uncharted. The movie begins with a heartbreaking scene where Nate is separated from his brother, Sam, at an orphanage following some questionable activities Sam has engaged in over the years. The brothers share a passion for history, adventure, and the promise of a lost treasure. Fast forward to present day, where Nate is struggling to get by - resorting to some illicit activities of his own to "supplement" his income. When an encounter with the mysterious Sully offers Nate the chance to reconnect with his long lost brother while also hunting down the world's biggest treasure, Nate can't help but say yes. What follows is a globe-trotting quest complete with intrigue, action, and shifting alliances.

The movie is full on action with some pretty well-timed comedic scenes as well delivered by both Wahlberg and Holland. Fresh off the success of Spiderman: No Way Home, Holland once again carries the role of a heroic action star with his boyish charm. Not being familiar with the video game, I can't speak to how it relates to the experience gamers are used to, but I can say that some of the scenes are pretty far-fetched (particularly the scene when they jump out of the plane - you'll see). Overall, the film is an enjoyable escape thanks more to the acting than the story which feels a little been-there-done-that.

Uncharted - Parent's Guide

My 10 year old 4th grader was begging us to head to the theaters to see this one. It's been all the rage amongst his classmates at school so we decided to give it a go. He has seen Marvel films with PG-13 ratings before and I didn't think it could be much worse.

The violence in the movie is responsible for most of the PG-13 rating. However, the violence is mostly video-game violence - guns, explosions, action - with only mild blood scenes. Probably the worse was a death that occurred by cutting a throat - you do see some blood dribble and then others come in and find the dead body. The language in the film is pretty mild, but there is a lot of mild language. The most heavily used language is the word s*it which flows pretty freely throughout.

The treasure hunt adventure and constant action will keep kids engaged and entertained. If you are OK with the mild, but frequent language and the "shoot-em-up" video game violence, your upper elementary kids can join in to watch this one too.

Uncharted age rating: Why is the Tom Holland film rated PG-13?

There’s only one more day standing in the way between ourselves and the debut of the highly anticipated film, Uncharted .

This 2022 film, starring Spider-Man: No Way Home ‘s Tom Holland and Infinite actor Mark Wahlberg, is an adaptation of the beloved 2007 Sony video game all about the thrills that come with dangerous adventures and hidden treasure. But what people love most about the game and look forward to seeing depicted in the film is its action-packed story that is going to leave you guessing from beginning to end.

Of course, we don’t want to give too much away before you catch the film premiering exclusively in theaters on Feb. 18, but we definitely want to tell you about the movie’s age rating so that you’re in the know.

Read on to learn all about Uncharted ‘s age rating.

Uncharted age rating

At this time, the film has been given an age rating of PG-13 for its fair share of scenes where violence, strong language, and intense scenes can be heard/seen. Some of which you can see in the official trailer for the film, below.

Fortunately, there aren’t too many instances of these things which makes it appropriate for audiences above the age of 13 years old to watch either by themselves or with a mature guardian. However, if you would like to view a different yet similar film in which you don’t have to worry about its age rating, we’ve got you covered.

If you would like to watch something with plenty of adventure, then be sure to check out the 2021 films The Water Man and Finding Ohana on Netflix . Both are extremely intriguing stories about exploration and chasing after the unknown, but the best part is that both are rated PG, making them perfect recommendations for the family.

Additionally, The Croods: A New Age and Sonic the Hedgehog on Hulu are also great substitutions.

Now that you know all about Uncharted ‘s age rating as well as what you can watch in place of the Tom Holland film, all that’s left to do is tune in to your adventure-filled film. Happy watching!
