Why You Didn't Like ... Borderlands

I've put my hand in the fire that is Borderlands (the movie, not the game), where video game legends Gearbox meet Hollywood head-on. I hoped for the wild, loot-filled, post-apocalyptic vibe we all love, but I got a deep case of ennui.
Join me as I talk Uwe Boll comparisons (yes, it's that chaotic), mismatched casting, and misunderstanding what the Borderlands franchise is and does for fans (and why even audiences who've never picked up a controller will still leave with a migraine).
Grab your vault key: let's do this.
Let me know what you thought of the movie in the comments below if you were brave enough to see Borderlands.

My favorite Uwe Boll Trash Adaptation was BloodRayne, a movie based on a game that I had actually played quite a lot of. Becuase, you know, sexy vampires and the 90's. It was so bad it was rumored Ben Kingsley asked to have his name stricken from the credits. I have no idea if that is true or not but it makes for great copy! Yeah I'll wait until this travesty is fully on some streamable media I already pay for before subjecting myself to it. Thanks for taking one for humanity!

I have seen BloodRayne, and I too was right in that lane for all the same reasons. I can't remember, it might actually have been the first Boll movie I saw? I remember thinking afterwards, "This is so terrible, how did it get made?!" But I still watched the fn thing to the end 🤣
