Is Borderlands the worst film of the year? It’s definitely in contention – so laughably bad, in fact, that it feels like being catapulted back to a time when video game adaptations were a byword for mediocrity rather than the prestige vehicles they are now.
But here we are: it’s 2024, and somebody has seen fit to greenlight around $100m to make this terrible live action adaptation of the beloved 2009 game franchise. Following adaptations such as The Last of Us, Fallout and Arcane, Borderlands simply doesn’t cut it.
