Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), Lilith (Cate Blanchett), and Roland (Kevin Hart) smirking as they watch Claptrap fall into a hole in Borderlands (2024)
Summary Eli Roth is going for accuracy when it comes to the world-building of Borderlands, and it must be said that the movie absolutely carries the spirit of the Gearbox game series. Borderlands follows the bounty hunter Lilith on her journey back to her home planet of Pandora, tasked by the tech billionaire Atlas to retrieve his daughter Tina from her supposed kidnapper Roland .
Blanchett knows exactly what movie she's in, and she seems to be having the time of her life fitting herself into the mold of a video game heroine. Borderlands Could Stand To Be Longer To Take Advantage Of Its Video Game World That's not to say that Roth and Crombie's screenplay fails some test of real-world or internal logic, given that the basic plot is quite easy to follow and takes full advantage of what the fictional planet of Pandora has to offer.
The pacing also leads to a few jokes not landing despite the actors themselves delivering them well, simply because the setup is lacking or the characterization has not been fully established. But the overall experience is still a fun one, and I for one would welcome another big screen trip to Pandora.
