Mr. Kraken’s review published on Letterboxd:
Borderlands is an abomination. A hellish nightmare that I couldn’t believe I was lucky enough to escape from.
This film is shockingly bad.
Obnoxious and relentless in its non stop humour that is aggressively unfunny.
A deeply unpleasant ugly experience.
Chaotically loud and colourful but in a shallow meaningless way, in a pathetically desperate attempt to keep your attention.
As a painfully and insultingly cliche and derivative paper thin plot rushes through the most basic emotional beats and moments so that it can all itself, on a technicality, a movie.
As a non gamer boy I can only imagine the absolute disbelief and horror that a Borderlands game fan who have at being subjected to this atrocity in the peak golden age of video game adaptations.
This film feels like if a soulless corporation tries to remake Mad Max, Guardians of the Galaxy and Fallout all in one big film. And to direct the film they found someone who actively hates cinema. And probably life itself.
An atrocious mess with no redeeming features.
