Borderlands

There's a lot of talent in this, but it's all in the service of a cacophonous crash-and-bang not-terribly-interesting CGI'd hyper violent movie.

A video game adaptation that completely misses the mark.

The heroes snipe at each other relentlessly, and rarely appear to be enjoying each other’s company, which makes it difficult to buy them as an eventual surrogate family, even a dysfunctional one like the Guardians of the Galaxy.

A truly elaborate production design in which real sets are seamlessly combined with digital effects, something that does not necessarily happen in the industry's blockbusters. [Full review in Spanish]

Right as Hollywood has started to learn how to successfully adapt games for the screen, Borderlands arrives as a reminder of how not to do it.

An insipid mishmash of trite genre tropes, “Borderlands” is devoid of any real edge.

Borderlands sure tries to be funny, but fails mightily – unless you take into account its oodles of unintended meta-commentary.

I never really know how to kick off these sorts of brutally negative reviews, so I suppose it is easiest to be blunt: Eli Roth’s Borderlands is a deeply terrible film.

Fans of the games are probably better off doing another run-through.

Here’s yet another lousy video-game adaptation to add to the heap, a mountain that by now matches Everest in height.
