This week, the movie Borderlands, based on the video game series by Gearbox Software, hit theaters. It stands out as one of the many video game adaptations gaining popularity recently.
However, the Borderlands movie has received harsh criticism, scoring a mere 10% on Rotten Tomatoes and an average rating of 27/100 on Metacritic. The film is far from a success.
Distributed by Lionsgate and backed by multiple parties including Gearbox and 2K Games, Borderlands features big names like Cate Blanchett in a leading role, Jack Black providing voice work, and is directed by Eli Roth, known for his work on Thanksgiving in 2023, which received a favorable average review score of 84% on Rotten Tomatoes.
TLDR: Borderlands movie adaptation receives poor reviews despite star-studded cast and impressive backing.
