Instead of an introduction: I am familiar with the original game, but very little, so my opinion about the film will not include a comparison with a video game. I don't know if this is good or bad, but it turns out a certain view from the outside.
Nowadays, all films can be divided into three large groups: superhero movies (there are a lot of them, they are also extremely diverse in quality); faceless action movies whose plot cannot be remembered the next day after viewing; and serious movies that raise important social topics.
So, "Anchored: not on the cards", fortunately, is not included in any of these groups. This is a cool adventure movie, which has not been on the big screens for so long (since the time of "Treasures of the Nation").
Plot. As in any adventure movie, the whole plot is based on a treasure hunt. The film begins with a small flashback showing Nathan Drake's past, or rather his childhood. And then the main action does not take long to wait and immediately breaks into the cinema screens. Everything happens quickly, the plot moves without pauses or long dialogues that do not carry a plot load. This can also be considered a minus of the film: personally, I did not have enough time to get acquainted with the main characters outside the main plot, we were very quickly introduced to Nathan, Sally, and them among themselves. The main plot twists of the film are connected with the word "betrayal". I will say separately about humor - it is there, there is a lot of it and it does not look absurd or stupid, all jokes are quite appropriate.
Setting. Here the authors of the film did a great job. During the film, we will visit several locations at once, which are shown in all their glory. For example, part of the action takes place in Barcelona, and if you have been there, you will easily find out the specific places where the heroes are.
Action and stunts. This item made me very happy. Tom Holland's physical fitness, properly staged stunts and battle scenes have played their part, and the action looks damn cool!
Actors and characters. Here we come to the most interesting.

For a very long time, fans of "Star Wars" demanded a series about the famous mercenary Boba Fett. And only now has Disney finally satisfied their desires.
General impressions: of course, he can't compete with the "Mandalorian". But at the same time, the series leaves a very pleasant feeling after watching it.
The plot is quite simple. Boba decides to give up the life of a mercenary and become the boss of Tatooine, which is persistently called the backyard of the universe, but 80% of the most important events take place there. We are also shown flashbacks of how Boba survived in the Sarlock pit. At the same time, a simple narrative and local history are skillfully diluted by the appearance of familiar, and sometimes cult characters, which does not let the viewer get bored. But there were some disadvantages: there are several fillers that are quite boring and do not carry any load.
The authors of the series again immerse us in the boundless sands of Tatooine, which look familiar, but at the same time we learn something new about this planet every time. Also, another very beautiful location appears in the series (I will not spoiler).
There is action in the series, there is not much of it, but it is made of high quality, a special shootout in the style of the Wild West.
Another component is the soundtrack. Ludwig Joransson managed to create an ideal musical composition corresponding to the spirit of the series.
Temuera Morrison finally got enough screen time, but I can't say that his acting work impressed me. The rest of the actors also did a good job, but again, no one showed emotions like in the last episode of season 2 of "Mandalorian".
In general, I can say that this is a good series for everyone who loves "Star Wars" to watch. And even more so, it's much better than the disgusting new trilogy.

I adored the works of Agatha Christie. And of course I couldn't get past the "Murder on the Orient Express". The film turned out to be ambiguous: a magnificent cast and uncanonical Hercule Poirot, some scenery and costumes, but unnecessary action.
I also had concerns about this film, but they were in vain. The film begins with a prologue, which logically leads to the main plot.
The scenery and costumes are amazing.
Now a few words about the cast. Gal Gadot - 100% hit in the image of Linnet! Armie Hammer is also good as Simon Doyle. I also liked Letisha Wright. But my heart is touched by the acting work of Emma Maki, it was top class.
To sum up, this is a great detective film.
