An absolutely stellar film.
The whole premise about aliens infiltrating Earth to sabotage humanity via global warming feels even more relevant today than when it first hit theaters.
Charlie Sheen delivers a masterful performance as the eccentric Dr. Replacement—he really nails that energy—and Ron Silver is equally impressive as the primary antagonist.
Kill me now, but I honestly have a sneaking suspicion that this character might have actually influenced the creation of Gordon Freeman from Half-Life.
It never quite got the massive hype it deserved, mostly because it got completely overshadowed by the blockbuster Independence Day, which was released around the same time.
There is also an equally solid sequel from 1998 called Second Arrival, which remains somewhat of an underrated gem itself.

It actually sounds like it could be quite an interesting ride.
Ever since The Mummy, we haven't really seen a proper big-budget adaptation of Egyptian mythology—which would be a refreshing change of pace compared to all those endless Greek and Norse myth adaptations we keep getting.

Honestly, this news doesn't come as much of a shock to anyone—given that Uncharted was easily one of the most iconic titles on the PS3 era.
From what I'm gathering, it looks like the movie will follow a script based on the first installment of the series.
Since the quality of the Uncharted franchise is so consistently high, my expectations for this film are incredibly high—really quite significant, actually.
