"Borderlands" could've been a fun video game movie, but sadly, it lacks the personality of its source material.

Borderlands Review: A Boring Slog Through The Wasteland

The social media embargo for Borderlands lifted late last night (or very early this morning) and, while we only have a handful of reactions as we write this, none of them are particularly positive. In fact, they're downright awful. Fans of the hit video game franchise have spent a long...

BORDERLANDS

Zero Stars

ZERO STARS.<br>Running time: 102 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence and action, language and some suggestive material). In theaters. 

Sometimes when a job doesn’t work out, the former employee will omit that short-lived work experience from her resume.

For Cate Blanchett, that erasable gig is the unspeakably terrible new movie “Borderlands.” 

If I was the two-time Oscar winner, I’d hire a crack team to work around the clock to scrub all mention of it from the Internet. The film is that embarrassing.

Unfortunately, for the time being, the star of “Tár” and “Blue Jasmine” is stuck as the lead of the...

The new Borderlands movie opened to abysmal reviews from fans and critics alike. One big complaint is that the PG-13 film lacks the gore and violence found in the M-rated games. However, according to one person involved in the creation of the live-action adaptation, they filmed plenty of gory moments that didn’t make the final cut.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

"I worked on him for 5 consecutive months."

Borderlands film goes from disaster to farce as the guy who rigged Claptrap says neither he nor the model artist are credited

Most book adaptations are entitled to a little artistic liberty, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is more provocative than most. Its first season caught plenty of flack for diverging from J.R.R. Tolkien’s written works, especially when it came to its big villain reveal. Though the Amazon prequel gave fans what they wanted and depicted the rise of Sauron, it took a very unorthodox approach to his reveal... and to his master plan. To some, The Rings of Power seemed to dig itself into a bit of a creative hole. The series has its work cut out for it in Season 2 — but as Sauron takes on a bigger role and continues his evil scheme, his premature reveal might just be The Rings of Power’s smartest choice yet.

Starring a cast of notables who should have known better — including Jamie Lee Curtis and Cate Blanchett — this feels like a tombstone for band-of-heroes dreck.

Review: 'Borderlands' is a game-to-screen misfire so thoroughly bad, it's breathtaking

“I’m getting too old for this shit,” mutters Cate Blanchett’s bounty hunter at the beginning of Borderlands, the brand new movie take on Gearbox Software’s famed video game series. It’s a line that sounds like it’s been hijacked from another movie (Lethal Weapon, anyone?) – the first of many derivative moments in this messy sci-fi spectacle.

Take-Two’s CEO is urging fans to give the Borderlands film a chance as it debuted to a slew of horrendous reviews. The Borderlands film finally arrived on August 8, and many are already dubbing it one of the worst films of the year. Debuting with an embarrassing 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s not a great start for the franchise.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from interviews the author conducted with those individuals mentioned.]. This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the classic TV show Bewitched, which originally aired on ABC from 1964 to 1972.

In 1999, one comedy film not only became one of the greatest sci-fi movies of a generation, but it also predicted the way in which we all think and talk about fandoms of all kinds in the 21st century. That film was Galaxy Quest, an obvious parody of Star Trek in which actors from a cult sci-fi TV show find themselves fighting for their lives in a real interstellar adventure.
