The cliché that a film adaptation of a video game is bound to be a failure is no longer relevant. We have examples like the Fallout series and the Arcane animated series, but not all adaptations manage to maintain such a high standard.

Some journalists have shared their reviews of the film Borderlands. It should be noted that these are not full-fledged reviews — they will be released a bit later.

Judging by comments online, the adaptation of Gearbox's comedic shooter series was unsuccessful. Early viewers criticized the film for numerous clichés, poor jokes, and a lack of chemistry between key characters.

Journalists write that despite quality sets, the special effects in the film were mediocre. As a result, viewers felt that the movie simultaneously looked like an expensive blockbuster and a cheap production.

However, some reviewers noted that a few actors did a good job — especially Cate Blanchett, who played the mercenary Lilith, and Jack Black, who voiced the robot Claptrap.

The Borderlands adaptation was directed by Eli Roth, known for thrillers like Hostel and Thanksgiving. After the main production was completed, the film went into reshoots led by Tim Miller (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate).
