Borderlands

Oh man, it's so unfair what they did with this movie. It's an action movie, and the CGI is decent. Forget the rest; it's not meant to be a cult classic or taken seriously. Just watch without commitment, relax, enjoy, and have fun! Seriously, watch for yourself, ignore the score and the critics, and judge for yourself. I watch a lot of game-based movies, and this one is pretty okay. Sadly, I won't have the chance to see it in theaters anymore, and I'm afraid this might discourage other game-based movies from being made. It's totally unfair!

When you think of Eli Roth, you think pure gore. In fact, the special effects teams said that originally, the film was packed with gore—severed heads, dismembered bodies… But the producers didn’t like it, Roth left (though he’s still credited as director), and Tim ‘Deadpool’ Miller finished the movie to make it a more PG-13-friendly version for the **** obviously, it’s weird to see so little horror in a film credited to Roth. But in the end, for someone like me who doesn’t know the game it’s based on, it’s still a big fun movie, with action, humor, and a grand adventure. And maybe that’s all I wanted. As long as I remember it’s a Tim Miller movie and not an Eli Roth one, it works. You just have to loosen up a bit—if you don’t know the game, it’s not a bad movie at all.

The story/plot is weak. Acting & direction feels average. Not enough suspense, thriller & climax. Some action scenes & vfx are good though. The movie feels very rushed to reach it's ending. You can skip this one. Won't be a huge miss.

What a waste of money, good actors and film. Geesus this was uncomfortable to watch. Everything cringy that you'd expect from someone who hasn't played a single game, is pretty much in it

They took the quirkiness of Pandora and went completely overboard with it. The visual effects are terrible and jarring. Performances are on both ends of the scale, either bored and mailed in or completely overacted. The plot has been done to death at this point. It's a shame that the world of Borderlands went to waste on this.
