Less than a day away from the premiere of the Borderlands movie, based on the popular gaming franchise, reviews are overwhelmingly negative. Rotten Tomatoes has compiled 34 reviews, resulting in a dismal 3 percent freshness rating with only one positive review. Critics have described the movie as a waste of time, talent, and pixels, monotonous, cheap, and the worst film in Eli Roth’s career. Words like “clunky direction,” “lifeless,” and “cringeworthy” are used to describe the adaptation. If you’re in the mood for a mature action comedy based on a satirical adventure series, consider watching Deadpool & Wolverine instead.
