Lilith (Cate Blanchett), an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Edgar Ramírez), the universe's most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits -- Roland (Kevin Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Florian Munteanu), Tina's musclebound protector; Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), the oddball scientist who's seen it all; and Claptrap (Jack Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora's most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands -- but they'll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling videogame franchises of all time, welcome to BORDERLANDS.

Peter Rainer

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

There's a lot of talent in this, but it's all in the service of a cacophonous crash-and-bang not-terribly-interesting CGI'd hyper violent movie.

Chicago Reader

A video game adaptation that completely misses the mark.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

The heroes snipe at each other relentlessly, and rarely appear to be enjoying each other’s company, which makes it difficult to buy them as an eventual surrogate family, even a dysfunctional one like the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Rated: 2/5

Exclaim!

Fans of the games are probably better off doing another run-through.

Film Frenzy

Here’s yet another lousy video-game adaptation to add to the heap, a mountain that by now matches Everest in height.

Rated: 1.5/4

Brock Knowing it was based on a video game, they did a good job making it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Verified Viewer This movie is better if you play the game and know the whole backstory. If you’re just being introduced to this world, the movie does a poor job of explaining it and really doesn’t use these amazing actors to their full potential. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Lena Fun, campy movie!! I liked it 6/10 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Edmark Didn’t like it enough not to finish Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Sara Couldnt stand it! Weird and terrible plot line. Costumes and makeup were the best parts. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Katelyn This deserves 3 stars because wardrobe, set deck, and the cinematographer blew it out of the park. Should've been 5 stars but either the writer, director, or editor just couldn't get it there. These actors deserved their roles to be treated better.Its too bad, this clearly had a lot of love behind it! Amazon should've picked up the I.P. and given it the fallout treatment.
