Just saw it in a theatre today, and as heavy gamer who has played all the Borderlands games, I have to say I liked it! I dont get why critics have " universally panned" it?!
Its fun! Just go watch it if you are into videogames.
Not as bad as the review bombing made it out to be but definitely not as good as it could have been.
Some of the cast are great in their parts, some are just so bad it constantly undoes what fun and immersion the others can bring.
I haven't seen special effects that bad in a while but the worst comes from the inept storytelling.
There are good action scenes but the narrative is all over the place and half the jokes fall terribly flat.
It is no worse than a lot of Marvel/DC movies if you're going to spend 90 mn turning your brain off but it could have been so so much more.
