Is it too soon to call #Borderlands the worst movie of β24? There are still many cinema turkeys headed our way. But this gobbler mixes inept directing, terrible writing, indifferent acting and gawdawful CGI into such stupefying boredom, it feels nothing could top it for badness. pic.twitter.com/C8CTJuwoWGβ Peter Howell π (@peterhowellfilm) August 8, 2024
Oh hey I can tell you Iβve seen #BorderlandsMovie now and that itβs really bad. I really wanted to like it, but an uninspired plot + several phoned in performances + being stuck in a weird place where it looks both expensive and cheap a the same time make it a huge misfire. pic.twitter.com/nek6r0CuTmβ Matthew Simpson (@SmatthewAF) August 7, 2024
The social media embargo has now lifted and I can say that #BorderlandsMovie has an exceptional level of detail for those who have played the video games, but I don't know if that's enough to stop people from accusing it of being a Guardians of the Galaxy rip-off. pic.twitter.com/PiShS2NVyCβ Sean Patrick Kelly (@SKonMovies) August 7, 2024
Borderlands is fine. It looks too glossy and squeaky clean at times, and is really hampered by the script. However, there's still some fun sci-fi action here that looks and feels enough like the games. About as 3/5 as a movie can get. #BorderlandsFilm #Borderlands pic.twitter.com/W93EivZG7aβ Hunter Bolding (@HunterBVideo) August 8, 2024
Can *finally* give my thoughts on the Borderlands movie, a film Iβve been dying to tell everyone how cancerously unfunny it is.
An absolute dull and trite experience that makes gaming movies from the 2000s look like masterpieces.

#Borderlands is yiiiiiikes. An ugly, dull, one-dimensional adaptation that that feels like Cosplay: The Movie. The Borderlands games inspire creative chaos, exploration and action-packed hilarity. Rothβs movie captures none of that with astounding inefficiency. Boooo. pic.twitter.com/QY0QgYVgD8β Matt Donato (@DoNatoBomb) August 8, 2024
