The first reactions to Eli Roth’S Borderlands They’ve taken over social media, and they’re not good. I honestly didn’t expect this movie to be good because Roth isn’t exactly the best director, so these reactions aren’t that surprising.
The film is described as a “complete mess”, “a disaster”, “unwatchable” and “uninspired”. This is a shame because it could have been a great film if the studio had actually hired the right creative talent.
So, I guess if you plan on watching this movie at some point, don’t expect it to be good! Read the reactions below and let us know what you think.
Borderlands looks like what some out-of-touch executive thinks the “cool kids” find attractive. There’s not a single moment of sincerity here, just obnoxious one-liners that sound dated as soon as they come out of the actors’ mouths. It’s not even that bad, it’s good, just a complete mess. photo.twitter.com/M7WCc1cUj3

BORDERLANDS is a disaster. Filled with every cliché you can think of, this film trades the chaos and imagination of the games for a lifeless, unfunny, visually repulsive flop with annoying characters and a cast without a shred of chemistry.

BORDERLANDS is nearly unwatchable. The violence is bland and uninspired, the chemistry is nonexistent, and the story trajectory is both boring and painfully obvious. I had zero expectations for this and yet I was somewhat disappointed. #BorderlandsFilm

1960-1969, Author: Kurt Morrison #Top5FilmDiveAs predictable as movies may be these days, #BorderlandsFilm it’s borderline unwatchable. With such great talent in front of and behind the camera, I’m surprised this ended up being the finished product. Blanchett and Hart are… photo.twitter.com/U3U1UWVWo2

The social media embargo has been lifted and I can say that #BorderlandsFilm It has a level of detail that is exceptional for anyone who has played the video games, but I don’t know if that’s enough to stop people from accusing it of being a rip-off of Guardians of the Galaxy. photo.twitter.com/PiShS2NVyC

Oh hey I can tell you I saw #BorderlandsFilm now and that is really bad. I really wanted to like it, but an uninspired plot + several poorly done performances + being stuck in a weird place where it feels both expensive and cheap at the same time make it a huge failure. photo.twitter.com/nek6r0CuTm

#BorderlandsFilm It’s a disconcerting video game adaptation. There’s potential for great world-building, but it never happens due to a rushed and boring script; the production design is impressive but the film looks cheap due to poor CGI.

In the film, “Lilith, a notorious bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas, the most powerful son of a bitch in the universe.
“Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a motley crew of misfits: Roland, a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina, a savage preteen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina’s hunky protector; Tannis, the eccentric scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap, a know-it-all robot.
“Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora’s most explosive secrets.
“The fate of the universe may be in their hands, but they will fight for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.”
The movie stars Cate Blanchett like Lilith, My Friend Jamie Lee Curtis like Tannis, Kevin Hart like Roland, Black Jackthe character of Claptrap, Ariana Greenblatt like little Tina, and Florian Munteanu like Krieg.
Borderlands will be released in theaters on August 9, 2024.
