Borderlands

(CASTELLANO) Tenía pinta de ser una adaptación fiel y explosiva del famoso videojuego, pero al final Borderlands se queda a medio camino de todo. Tiene ritmo, tiene color, tiene a Cate Blanchett… pero no tiene alma. El guion parece más una serie de escenas sueltas encadenadas con chistes que no siempre funcionan, y la historia no consigue interesarte en ningún momento. La estética intenta captar el estilo del juego, y por momentos lo consigue, pero todo lo demás va por otro lado. Los personajes no tienen desarrollo, ni química, ni ese toque de locura que se esperaría. El humor va y viene, con algún momento que puede hacerte gracia, pero también con muchos que caen en lo forzado o lo absurdo sin gracia. Lo mejor que se puede decir es que no aburre, pero eso no basta para salvarla. Es una de esas pelis que se ven, se olvidan, y ya está. Y es una pena, porque había ingredientes para algo mucho más potente. (ENGLISH) It looked like it was going to be a faithful, explosive adaptation of the famous video game, but Borderlands ends up falling short on just about everything. It’s fast-paced, colorful, it’s got Cate Blanchett… but it doesn’t have a soul. The script feels more like a collection of disconnected scenes linked by jokes that don’t always land, and the story never really manages to hook you. The visuals try to capture the game’s style—and sometimes they do—but everything else drifts in another direction. The characters have no depth, no chemistry, and none of the madness you'd expect. The humor is hit or miss, with a couple of funny moments, but also plenty that just feel forced or awkward. The best thing you can say is that it’s not boring—but that’s not enough to save it. It’s one of those movies you watch, forget, and move on from. And that’s a shame, because there was potential for something much better.

Was okay untill the final act and then it dropped dramatically could have got 3 star if not for the last 30mins being so bad

Rara. Lo malo: la historia es floja y predecible. Incoherencias por doquier. En algunos momentos los efectos se ven tan Playstation 2 que desentonan con una visual bastante decente el 80% del tiempo. Lo bueno: es muy entretenida, si bien la trama es bastante floja la cuenta con tan buen ritmo que uno lo disfruta, giros tontos pero con buena intención, buenos chistes que la mayoría del tiempo logran hacer reír (especialmente el robotito que interpreta Jack Black), colorida tanto en escenarios como en personajes llamativos, los momentos de accion cumplen exactamente con lo que uno espera ver en este tipo de películas. Ni buena ni mala, un entretenimiento pochoclero digno pero hasta ahí nomas.

I wish I could give this a zero this type of game into a media form should be a TV show or you can give multiple episodes multiple time periods get to know characters and have a cast that actually fits their characters this fell short of the film Borderlands it felt rushed not enough time to actually get to know the characters that we fell in love with in the game as much as I love Jack Black they should have used the original voice character and the characters do not feel like they belong there with the casting they do not feel like their characters I gave it a shot now I want my time back I prefer to play the games and hopefully the new one does not let us down like this hot piece of garbage you did I don't even recommend to watch not even to try watch something else!

It's a genuine bad adaptation, fans of the series said it from the trailer that they hated the trailers and the movie is going to suck, and to the dismay of all fans hated the movie. If you like post apocalyptic movie with humor, watch something else.

I am a big fan of dystopian films and games like Mad Max and Fallout. The game Borderlands was always on my list to play when I get the time... but never did play it. I thought okay lets watch the movie. But the reviews were abyssmal. I watched it right now and its fun. Its not the best movie but not the worst. Its like "Book of Eli" or "Bounty Hunter" the dystopian movies. A little bit B movie but fine. I like it. Fans of the games will like it. Its like with the D&D movie/s.. the critics are (like always) hating it and the fans like it... so... watch it and have fun if you like the movies and games I listed and stuff like Furiosa...

I don't understand the hate, the movie isn't the best looking CGI movie but it's great and I loved it!

I played the games so yeah. Not a fan of this movie. Story suck. And the strars dont match the characters they protray. It could have been great but it fails to deliver badly.

May help if you’ve played the game before which I haven’t. Couldn’t get going into this one, lots of shooting and violence for the sake of it. Not really sure what the storyline was.

People love to hate. Don’t let the squares of the world tell you what’s enjoyable.
