Gotta love the brilliant accurate casting. Over 50 year old something's playing characters around the average age of 20-30...
GREAT AITEORI BORDERLANDS MOVIE REVIEW
Borderlands Golden Girls DLC 😂😂😂
Plus the least Roland casting for Roland and the fact what kind of stupid story crud knowledge did they use to decide to mash B1 & B2 story with their own twist, leaving fans and newcomers wondering what the heck is going on (I refuse to pay anything to watch this but I’m going to eventually one way or another with friends for our Bad Movie Night)
@RPGgamerWolf pro tip : even if it's on a streaming service you pay for, pirate it instead. That way you won't be counted in the people who watched it. As far as the studios are concerned, they don't care why you watched, they'll just count you as a "satisfied viewer".

This movie should've been titled “Actors Who Needed a Paycheck During COVID.”
I know it's a long title, but at least it's honest.
@@JenniferMcMahonhawaii78 sounds about right.
This movie is so bad that even though I pirated it for free, I was still pissed after it ended and felt ripped off.
You were robbed of your time. That’s an insult by itself!
Reminds me of "Product received for free" from Steam awhile back:
"I want a refund"
Gave up even pirating 2016 after Independence day 2 and TFA.
Time is money so you were really robbed of your money.
Touching grass becomes a more productive pastime with every passing day... *pokes the grass* Hmmm, blue grama... with a bit of sedge.
it's funny how the bartender looks exactly like how Tannis is suppose to look. THEY HAD THE PERFECT ACTOR FOR HER!!
I think they do that stuff on purpose because they did the exact same thing in cowboy bebop the Netflix ad adaptation where there were characters that looked like actual characters but then everyone else look like y’all just gave whoever came to the casting a job. 😡🤣🤣
Wait was that supposed to be moxxi I thought it was tannis
@jaivettasheem1314 nah Moxxi was in there somewhere else, not that particular bartender 👍
@@sentient_typewriter oh thank the stars i was worried how much worse it can be.
"I'm a woman, I'm a bad ass" basically sums up the plot of borderlands 3.
Heeyy yoooo!!!!
That's a dumb take considering there had been bad ass women through out ALL of the games leading up to it, ones that are actually written well and are compelling. BL1-2 Lilith, Maya, Angel, Athena, Fiona, Moxxi, Ellie, Nisha, to name a few.
The problem with BL3, is that they replaced said badass women we grew to love, with a whiny, angsty teenager.
Nah "we're influencers" is the summary of 3
Like any other movie these days with a girl/female boss character
@@sawkman2092 That implies that the movie uses those stories and motivations.
While i've never played the first two games, i highly doubt this movie provides the same take on the characters.
You also have to take context into consideration, when 1 & 2 came out, there wasn't this constant deluge of crappy woke media being shoved down our thoats.
So even if the movie stays true to the characters of the originals, its 12 years too late, so it looks like its just following latest trend.
Couldn't even get Tiny Tina correct either. I'm sure there's plenty of 13 year olds who would have loved to play a crazy, explosives loving maniac with a penchant for sheer chaos.
There is actually a tiktoker who looks perfect does the voice. So they already exist
Making this movie PG-13 was a huge mistake; it should have been rated R. Borderlands is a violent, rated M game, but there was almost no blood in this movie. I’m not joking-there was a scene where they were shooting people in a cave, and there was no blood, no bullet holes, nothing. Then, one of the characters threw a bomb at the enemies, and it blew up, but the bad guys looked fine-no blood at all.
This was the movie to do comically gratuitous amounts of blood And gore. If they made it R, you could use it to innovate the industry with how to do blood splatters.
@@mikzpwnz_3199not everything needs to be rated R
@@animezilla4486no, but borderlands absolutely does.
@@mikzpwnz_3199it really needed gallons of blood and gore w/ a heavy amount of dark comedy. I knew the plot was going to suffer, but it should have been at least visually entertaining.
@@animezilla4486 true. Though if you've ever played any of the Borderlands games you'd understand why people find it odd that this film is 'PG-13'.
I'm kinda surprised you didn't recognize Cate Blanchett as the lead. She was in Lord of the Rings, The Aviator, Cinderella and Thor: Ragnarok.
I thought it was Bete Midler
@@bladerunner3314you can't even spell her name right, no you didn't. You're just trying to be edgy.
@@theparadoxrejected Oh, I didn't spell a name right for a has been actress I don't care about, cry me a river, weak sauce baby 🤣🤣
@@theparadoxrejected Let me guess, your mother also rejected you.
One of those movies was actually good. I’ll let you figure out which one.
Steven Siegel doesn’t “ACT” he plays exactly the person he actually is. 😂
Yeah. He’s incredibly cringy in real life too
The Kevin spacey method.
Ok so after EVERYONE gave them shit about BL3 being "Lilith the Girlboss: The Game" they decided to make "Lilith the Girlboss: The Movie"
w h y
That sums it up nicely.
Because this film it living proof that god hates us
Eli Roth said in a interview he didn't even play the games. So a multimillion successful videogame. With millions of potential gamers that would pay to see a video game movie they enjoyed.
Nope pander to general audiences and hope you get the masses. There's a old childrens story about a baseball player called Mighty Casey. Casey swung that bat 3 times to make the bat crackle like lightening stadium to roar like thunder. Did Mighty Casey become Zeus of the stadium that game.
No he struck out and walked back to the bench. Movie Studios are the same they want the thunderous applause of everyone. Meanwhile just hit the ball to get one base. Then with everything lined up. That one base per hit starts mounting homeruns. A consistent success not a flash of lightning to quickly fade as it loses to the darkness of the night sky.
I'm still amazed that after the successful Deadpool movies Hollywood still doesn't get that the general audience also seems to like crazy over the top movies.
Borderlands should have been like Deadpool in space with lots of violence, monsters and constant quips/one liners.
@@Virtualblueart i could have seen the horror angle work particularly well. Within Eli Roth's wheelhouse but maybe they didn't want to do the same horror flick for every movie over their career?
Huge red flag, they didn't even use Lilith well
Hollywood people pride themselves as beign ignorant of anything except the smell of their own farts.
"He didn't play the games."
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
18:05 Making a Krieg movie would have actually been a good idea.
In the game he is a hunter that was turned into a Psycho via experiments but still has his original mind underneath all of the screaming about Meat Bicycles, trying to guide his new Psycho personality in a good direction.
In fact the games seem to hint at all of the psychos being created by the big mega corps via some mass medical experiment on the miners of Pandora that got totally out of hand.
Could have done a lot with that.
I'm sure tgey did a thing with krieg and maya but no one will forgive them for what they did to her?.
IM THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN
even without that backstory you could've made a good movie with his trailer alone, a man desperately trying to regain control with small moments of clarity "TURN AROUND PRETTY LADY" is a fun and romantic idea by itself.
Alteori needs to see the Krieg trailer.
@@chrimsonphantom seconded, it’s really good. His inner conflict with himself is funny.
The moment I saw the main character was an old lilith, I knew this was gonna be garbage. Hollywood is leagues behind Japan
Only way this could have made sense is if the story involved time travel and there was also a young Lilith in it. But that would have required writing talent and, of course, actual will to make an effort. This was a poor attempt at a cash grab, effort was not the point.
@@TheNefastorYeah that was what I was thinking at first , when I initially saw the teaser I thought maybe the characters time traveled or sth. cuz they were all much older …
And it's supposed to be a prequel to Boarderlands 3.
Don't forget 5 foot tall funny man playing Roland
I’ve seen some really bad movies come out of Japan, too.
Steven Seagal´s characters are just as over the top as Steven is in person. He´s 100% certain that he is a golden god irl. The best in martial arts, the most beautiful man and so on....
Humble is not part of his vocabulary, apparently 🙄
I do t remember what movie it was, but it was definitely before Under Siege. He was wearing a black tank top (doesn't really narrow it down, I know) and chasing some bad guy. I've never seen a larger head in comparison to a skinny-ass body and neck. He ran like a 12y/o vegan girl. I was so damn confused as to how he could be any sort of action hero.
@@sgtslaughter54 your rant killed me dead 😄 RIP me
@@sgtslaughter54 Above the Law or Hard to kill is my guess 😂
He´s always run like a 12 year old girl, now he sits when he´s fighhting 😂
@@Abi-chanFictionFan No, he is so far away from humble you can be.
Borderlands franchise rest of peace 2009-2024.
No. Its 2009-2019. Borderlands 3 killed the franchise. Everything after that was a complete flop. And Gearbox said they gonna make a 4th Borderlands, which I'm not gonna be THAT excited about if it's gonna have the same garage storytelling.
@@GhoulBanditwhat are you talking about the tiny tina's wonderlands spin off made a crap ton of money the only thing that flopped before the movie was new tales from the borderland
@@GhoulBandit Yup movie Lilith's terrible personality came from Borderlands 3 Lilith any way. They just made her even worse by being old & looking old. I don't think the age matters much if it's someone like Charlize Theron who can pull off the ice queen while still looking young enough. Honestly, the writing for Borderlands hasn't been good since the 1st game. The 1st game was dark enough to pull off the Lovecraft alien vault twist. The sequels are all just Reddit humor.
@@HereticHydra I agree with the first half of your comment, but I hugely Disagree with the second half. Borderlands 2 was the funniest in the series and it didn't had any "Reddit humor" it was good at it's time. Nowadays people don't find it funny cause it doesn't have any retarded slang in them.
@@HereticHydra Eh, I still think Handsome Jack is one of the better villain characters.
He is very up front he likes being casually evil , spiteful, cruel and manipulative because he feels totally impervious all trough the story.
Here's what ya do, Alteori: play Borderlands 2. You get 4 new main characters plus the 4 original mains from the first game play a part in the sequel. Then get the DLC which provides two new characters. There's Gaige, a crazy-ass techno-wiz teenage girl that fights with a giant robot and does magical things to shotguns. Also, you'll be able to play as the big guy with the mask you seemed to think highly of, Krieger. _He's insane._
Should you play BL2, you'll meet one of the best villains in all of gamedom: Handsome Jack. You will love hating him.
HE gets saner as the salt starts to compound in his literal wounds.
@@shamdonnosnikta9570 Ahh. I'm only a few hours into a playthrough with him. I'm curious to see where he goes.
I tried BL1, tried is the operative word ... it's such a bore ...
@@bladerunner3314 Finish borderlands 1 speed it dou, only the general was a fun villian.
Borderlands 2 is just perfect. Borderlands the pre-sequel feels just like a DLC.
Borderlands 3 is just a mess.
“Krieg” not “Krieger”. I legitimately hate to be that guy who nitpicks but I feel it’s an appropriate distinction because “Krieger” is an actual Germanic name (meaning warrior) that some people have.
“Krieg” just directly translates to “War” and I genuinely think that the bad grammar in using that as an alias over the other which makes more sense just fits the character better lmao
I was hoping to see a crazier version of Fallout, but all I got was a goofier version of Furiosa.
Apparently, a goofier version of Furiosa would still be better than this.
Honestly the Fallout show is more Borderlands than this movie.
Which is awful.
4:17 Two-time Academy Award winning actor, Cate Blanchett.
Her awards list is longer than the age she's supposed to be.
Haha, yeah, I love her in LotR and Ragnorok, but if there was no good script, I can see why even she can't save it :P
I audibly gasped when she said she didn't know who that was.... I was like no way
Handsome Jack is an amazing villain in the second game.
Sarcastic, hateful, petty and just so casually evil that you hate him so much at the end you wish you could end him twice.
Your squad is even more fun and crazy than in the original and Claptrap is actually funny.
They should have just done a New Hope and made a movie of BL 2 in media res with the game script.
In that case, Kevin Hart could have been Salvador.
BL2 is amazing in every way. Handsome Jack is the villain of the movie? No Buttstallion!?
@@bulldowozer5858 no. Not at all
@@bulldowozer5858Not Kevin Hart as Salvador, Danny Trejo.
Handsome Jack is literally has been in the top ten video game villains of all time. I think he's been number 1 for quite a while.
The Borderlands movie could’ve been amazing Borderlands has everything in it to make a good movie and they f$&ked it up again
Edit It would also make a fantastic series
Edit And they should’ve made it animated
It would make a good series, it would never have made a good movie.
The any percentage speedrun of the game is 1:22:39. If we need to cover all that stuff, but also have dialog and the cut scenes that were doubtlessly skipped, it just doesn't fit into a movie.
Not to mention that the unholy abomination that is the Borderlands movie is a combination of Borderlands 1 and 2.
@@slaapt Agreed, a series could have been great, especially an animated series.
@@slaaptThe lord of the rings movies were amazing and borderlands doesn’t have nothing on that 😂
@@slaapt that is a good point thank you
Borderlands could start following Lilith as she has to go down to Pandora because she's been getting visions of the key. She goes down finds Marcus's bus and at that point Brick, Roland, Mordecai is already on the bus. They each have their reasons for wanting to find the vault key. They wont say what that is as we'll figure out later and once they get off the bus. They meet claptrap and get jumped by a bunch of bandits and after fighting the bandits getting to talk to the locals they decide to work together to find the vault. Pilot episode if they do a series.
the lillith actress its Cate Blanchet, (galadriel ). she is one of the best. not even an oscar caliber actor can survive that level of writing
I thought she looked familiar.
She is badly cast, either the director had a hard on for her since LOTR or she put her name forward and they felt they couldn't say no due to age discrimination. Either way she shouldn't have been playing a character in their 20s
The funny thing is the character Cate Blanchett is playing is supposed to be in her mid 20s. She did her Job right, but her isn not appropiate for the character she is supposed to play. This certainly increases the cognitive dissonance and disconnection from the Story/Movie. It's like that Torbin-guy from The Acolyte. He was supposed to be in his mid 30s, when he looks like 16?!? I don't get how this casting people think.
Actually, there is an anime of Borderlands, it's called Trigun. Massively underrated and even has a movie that also fits well to be self contained.
I don't recall seeing any advertisement for this movie...
seriously... other than the trailer on yt. Marketing was awful.
It’s almost like they knew it would bomb and didn’t want to add more money to this dumpster fire. NO WAY this “movie” is making its money back.
Probably knew it will flop so no point throwing good money after bad.
I thought same thing, and makes me wonder if they’re trying to just sneak these soulless cash-grabs in, before the inevitable criticism. You can spot this one a mile away. It’s NEVER wrong, when it’s this obvious. The party is over, Hollywood. They got away with that here and there for over a decade, but people aren’t getting suckered like that anymore.
😂 I remember seeing another trailer for this movie when I went to see despicable me 4 it was the one with claptrap crashing towards the screen
"old show I found called Heroes"
oh.. I felt that one 😆
Heroes was THE bomb during my childhood
17:36 "I am Heavy Weapons Guy...and this [grabs Minigun] is my weapon. [lays both hands covetously on Minigun] She weighs one hundred fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar, custom-tooled cartridges at ten thousand rounds per minute. [looks intently at viewer] It costs four hundred thousand dollars to fire this weapon...for twelve seconds." - Heavy
10:35 Such a missed opportunity for a perfectly placed "How do you do, fellow kids" meme.
I thought the same thing.
"I'm gonna take you to the bank, Senator Trent. To the Blood Bank." **DUN DUN DUDUDUN**
That's my defense for Steven Seagal.
Let's start with the obvious - this is not Tiny Tina.
Tiny Tina is perhaps my all time fav video game character. The second I saw that she was in this I gasped... ain't no way no how they could recreate her.
Personally I found her to be pretty consistently irritating in the games, but good God she is so much better there than in this. The movie gave me a whole new appreciation for the actual character in the game lol.
To think, they give "Lilith" a power fantasy, when in every game with a Siren, despite how poweful they are, can still get dogged on by enough numbers or a big enough monster she can't solo.
**SPOILERS FOR BORDERLANDS 3. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED**
Remember when Captain Marvel restarted a Sun in the Marvels? Yeah, me neither. Anyway, "Lilith" did something similar, but for a moon, and it ended up killing her. Actually, for as powerful as Sirens are in Borderlands, like, 4 out of the 6 in Borderlands 3 die.
*_Stakes!_*
The difference between a power house and a Mary Sue. Both can accomplish the same goal, the Mary Sue just lives to brag endlessly about it.
The difference also is that each Siren gets a different power. Borderlands 3 is about a siren going around steeling other sirens powers. Which included Maya's teleporting ability, and Lilith after going in to play her has phase walk. I do know that they do get access to more powers when they are exposed to Eridium, but its like a drug that if they get addicted to. Their bodies would become dependent on Eridium.
As a borderlands fan, this movie hurts my soul
Serrated blades puncture my skull! Pain! PAINN...
Oh blasphemous radishes strewn across bloodied corpse of a fallen god. Foul stench of vinegar and gullet!
You ... don't know Cate Blanchett on sight?! Oh mercy. Galadriel!
In fairness, I don’t think she’s seen the Lord of the Rings movies yet. She’s only really mentioned that she knows they’re popular and well beloved when going over her review for Rings of Power.
Though last I checked she does plan to eventually see the movies, she just hasn’t gotten around to watching them at the moment.
@@jaydonmagan4694 Yes, but that is just one example in a career that includes films she has talked about.
@@RachelPearcyArt Then that depends on the roles Cate had in those films and how she appeared in them. I know she was Valka in the HTTYD films, but she was doing an accent and those films were animated. I also know she was in Thor Ragnarok as Hela, but she was in heavier makeup and had long black hair; also I don’t remember if Alteori reviewed that film. There’s also her role in the Netflix Pinocchio, but that was stop motion, and I’m pretty sure Cate voiced the monkey. Those are the only other more prominent films Cate Blanchett has starred in, that I can remember, that Alteori would have reviewed. If there are any others that she’s reviewed, then I probably didn’t see those videos.
It could also be that Alteori forgot who she was, or knew of her name but forgot her face.
It's funny
Right now the games are 5 bucks on steam
So you can actually play 1 and 2 games an it would be far cheaper than going to see the movie in theaters
That's iconically hilarious! Hours of entertainment and a full on story for less then the price of the movie.
Sounds like i got was lucky when i had gotten a bad feeling when watching the trailer, also now we gotta get alteori to play a borderlands game.
Yeah you can just tell now. Hollywood is very antagonized about consumers being so judgemental like that, but this is easily over a decade now of evidence and experience sussing these soulless projects out. We know what we know.
@@MikeTheD yeah hopefully hollywood can get their shit together and work on telling more good stories like deadpool and wolverine.
Lilith being "The One" was obvious from the first act.
I didn't knew the Borderlands lore, never played the game... but it was soooo effin' obvious!
Can you imagine how cool it would have looked if they made it animated k. The style of Spiderverse or mutant mayhem?
Or the style of the shorts (meat bicycle made for two) and intros. Borderlands art style means it would have easily been translated to animation. Then you could make It R rated to turn up the blood and gore to 11.
That would have fit Borderlands completely. Damn what a waste.
The film was in production hell the last couple years, so when the producers got the film rights, that style wasn't quite as popular as it is now.
I know Spider-verse came out in 2018, but there is always a gap between the trendsetter and followers.
If they outsource Borderlands to Japan, they’ll probably get the VAs from the games to reprise their roles
They should've made an Arcane style show of how the characters became who they are and how they met and at the end of season 1 it would show the 4 of them getting on the bus from the 1st game
Sounds awesome, they board the bus Marcus does a little yapping as Cage The Elephant’s “Aint No Rest For The Wicked” starts playing as the credits begin to roll.
My theory someone had a GILF thing. Looking at the cast. I got the vibe watching it. Also my positive was the soundtrack.
Okay so as someone who is actually a fans of the borderlands series there's actually a fair lot you could have done to make an interesting movie based on the first game alone for example.
But I'm not here to tell them what they could have done I'm here to tell you all this s*** they just messed up and destroyed.
Number one the cast of characters in the first borderlands game the cast of characters you get to play as are as follows.
Lilith: A siren (more on this later) with the power to phase shift, effective she can slip into another dimension to avoid enemies and damage. Entering and leaving that dimension causes an explosion that damages enemies. It effective acts like she's teleporting.
Roland: an ex soldier that left the army to become a vault hunter. He is just skilled with fire arms and has an auto turret that he uses to compensate his lack of special powers.
Mordecai: A sniper type bounty hunter with a love for flying animals. His unique and thing is that he has a pet bird that attacks enemies for him, gatherers ammo for him.
Brick: A literal shit brick house that is just massive, buff and tanky. His speciality is beating things to death with his own hands.
Roland is the leader of the group not Lilith.
I'm speaking about the first game.
Now there's other characters in the movie that do show up in the series.
Tiny Tina: An absolute fan favorite SIDE character who is quite literally driven to insanity due to grief. She's a demolition expert and lover of stuffed animals. She shows up in the second game.
Tanis: A fan in favorite. She's just crazy scientists that went insane due to isolation but is exceptionally smart and useful. She's useless most of the time until the 3rd game.
Krieg: One of MY absolute favorite characters. He's an ex soldier who was experimented on and developed a split personality. The insane one is in control of the body but the original mind is there speaking in the back of his head like a moral compass cricket.
So Sirens
Sirens are a group of I believe 7 woman across the universe that have glowing tattoos on their body. These tattoos manifest when they receive their powers and each one has a specific power. When a siren dies their power goes to another woman in the universe. It's not genetically passed down or anything like that it simply picks someone random, meaning some people can be born with the power already. There's a set number of sirens and it can never increase or decrease.
The vault.
The vault is as far as we know at the start of the first game. Just that a vault containing ancient technology and secrets from an ancient hyper advanced civilization. The one in the first game is actually an ancient prison for an universe ending threat. Go figure.
The vibe of the game is goofy with serious moments. It's characters have actual development and character mixed in with the jokes. In audio logs and notes you learn a lot about the cast and what caused them to be as they are. It's infinitely better than this shit.
When I was watching the movie with Lilith I scratched my head once we get to see Lilith teleport the group. I thought that was Maya's power and I know each Siren has their unique power, but combined with Eridium they would enhance their powers. So yeah its like teleporting, but I don't think Lilith is able to take a group of people in the middle of the air and pop them down on the ground safely.
There is a lot of stuff they needed to do and they could've retold the first game, or if they so choose do a more original story. Because this feels like original characters hiding behind familiar names.
Tina: A clone made in hopes of fulfilling and ancient prophecy to open a vault. Thinking that she's special, because that's what she's been told all her line.
Roland: An ex commander of a major corporation, leaving on moral principles to stop the company he once worked for. Making sure that they don't get their hands on technology or power that would make them virtually unstoppable.
Krieg: A another experiment that grew attachment to one of his fellow lab rats, cannot speak properly but treats Tina as a sister.
Lilith: A mysterious bounty hunter who was sent off of pandora and forced to fight for survival, only brought back for a chance at earning money.
you could just change their names and boom you have an original group of vault hunters.
It's funny how even someone who didn't play the game can tell there was a miscast. It looks like she's trying to play a younger character because lilith is 22 and 5 foot tall funny man Kevin heart is playing the stoic mountain of a man Roland, fantastic casting choices
3:00 nono, you are just describing steven seagal
What I found interesting is that I went to Rotten Tomatoes the other day and read some of the audience reviews and the majority of the ones I read that were 4 to 5 stars said they never played the games, while the 2 to 3.5 stars said they played one or more games and found the movie lacked a lot of the charm the games have.
Edit: In the games most of the characters are between 23 and 36, in the movie the actors are between 39 and 68. The only character that might be the right age is the little girl. Also I think the movie was originally announced in 2014.
It's the same thing as when a book gets a movie and the fans of the book hate the movie
EXCELLENT WORK. AITEORI HOT 🔥 GARBAGE DISASTER OF BORDERLANDS MOVIE
The writing for the games was never good, especially with the extremely forced reddit-tier humor. I agree with Alteori's opinion that not everything needs to be made into a movie & Borderlands is one of those properties. It's a decent game, because it's a multiplayer looter shooter. You play it for the gameplay. It never had enough story to be made into a movie. The only thing interesting about the lore is The Vault.
The oldest character is a man named Mordecai who's iirc in his 40's-50s originally andnot even in the movie. The cast of the movie is a Mix of Lilith and Roland from BL1 Krieg from BL2 and Big Tina from BL3.
The 2 from BL1 they removed Mordecai and Brick(who is basically a shoe in for Batista)
The movie is bad even if you disassociate it from the game.
I won't lie, now I kind of want to see Alteori play Borderlands 2 to see what these characters/world are SUPPOSED to be like.
(Plus it's not like a 100+ hour game for one playthrough)
Fun characters, engaging story, interesting world, and the BEST villain!
Borderlands Golden Girls DLC addition 😂😂
😂jesus
A CZcams video of Face McShooty was all the Borderlands movie I needed.
the bartender? imagine if steven seagal is the bartender, still thirsty? lmao
even watching at faster speed, thank you for suffering through the movie for us. Your sacrifice wont be forgotten. Unlike the movie, which I hope will never be spoken of again.
Im glad you haven't played the borderlands games, because it would have hurt even more to see the characters being butchered this hard on screen.
Just like the Halo show. All they had to do was go through the story line in the original game.
One thing I don’t quite understand and I’m not trying to start anything, I’m genuinely frustrated is that people who criticized the little mermaid for the casting they were called racists , but now almost everyone’s criticizing the casting here and no one’s accusing anyone for “ageism ”.
Double standards are common for stupid people. Simple
Because neither were either
Because no one really cares about ageism. Especially against old wt people.
My 28 year old stepson was so stoked for this movie, because he loves Borderlands. He, my wife and I went and saw it at the theater (at normal speed, no less), and even HE was so very disappointed.
It was sad and frustrating. He (and I) really enjoyed the Fallout series that came out recently (as well as the Twisted Metal series), and I think we were hoping this might be another cool adaptation of a video game franchise.
Cate Blanchett played Lilith, and if you're wondering where you've seen her before, 20 years or so ago she was Galadriel in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies.
@@AldousTyler tried going into this with an open mind. Theater I went to had hardly anyone. Only one person snickered for the entire movie. Once the end credit showed up everyone was gone. Borderlands has lore, great characters, and it is sad and frustrating on what they did.
You know, having a semi-senile grandma running around with a machine gun is something that would fit as a character concept for a Borderlands game...
It would but having old actors to play younger characters would ruin the aestetic in general?.
I hate this kind of justification because you can write whatever garbage you want and then excuse it by saying...'iT's BoRDeRlAndS, sO oFF cOUrSe iT WoRKs'.
That mentally was clearly head throughout the film, hence why we're at this video watching the films funeral, rather than a celebration.
as a concpt for a new character - but what are the chances someone there in the writers room understands the difference?
I've said this before, but if you want an actually somewhat decent eli roth movie that stars Cate Blanchett and Jack Black, there is that spooky kids movie "The House With The Clock In It's Walls". Yeah, Roth did a kids movie before doing Borderlands.
Is anyone really shocked that another video game adaptation turned out to be crap?
It’s just par for the course.
19:34 fuck, I remember when that was the new show we all needed to watch
To some this movie up. If you never played the games, you are not gonna get it. If you did play them, you are gonna hate this!
Alteori Talked about Krieg, but If Alteori actually knew about Krieg. it's a completely different story.
They broke the lore behind Krieg being Tiny Tina's father. There wasn't any direct confirmation, but there were a ton of hints in BL2.
That was just a fan theory and it's already been debunked
The only positive thing about this movie was the villain looks like Wil Wheaton
The Wesley Crushers.
The actress in the red wig is Cate Blanchett, age 55. She's been nominated for Best Actress 8 times, winning once. She also won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actress. She played Galadriel in 'Lord of the Rings' and what she is doing in this dreck, I have no idea.
Lifetime supply of Botox.
So Borderlands 1 and 2 are 2 of my favorite games of all time. I despise 3's story (look up videos on Ava if you want to know why, also they did my girls Lilith and Maya dirty), so I went into this movie knowing that it was gonna be complete garbage but wanted to see it to make sure. The only people who were cast alright were Krieg, the psycho on their team, Marcus, the guy who drove the bus, and Moxxi, the bartender. Tanis is a 30 something year old scientist who is incredibly brilliant, talks down to everybody, has no social awareness because her time on Pandora drove her insane. Tina is like a child with ADHD, runs around a lot, always blowing stuff up, fun voices, actually insane because she has ptsd from losing her parents (she's not a test tube baby). Roland is tall, masculine, the leader and is the straight man to the comedy. Lilith is a 22 year old girl who is heavily sadistic, fun loving, cocky and playful. Like one of her voice lines after you kill a bunch of enemies is that she laughs then says "I'm really good at this." She, Roland, and 2 others from the first game, Mordecai (her child hood friend) and Brick were all proud vault hunters who sought out the vault for fame and fortune. That's the premise of the first game. Not some destine child of the Eredites, hell, Tina and Krieg aren't even from the first game. The movie would've been so much fun and better if it was about those 4 meeting each other in the bus (like they do in the game), seeking the vault, and it being a gory action comedy more akin to Indian Jones than what we got. I really hope they don't make a sequel, because Handsome Jack is one of the best written villains of all time, and they would butcher him.
A movie through the eyes of Kreig would actually be brillant. What is hard to convey in the movie that is conveyed int he video game is that Kreig is actually VERY lucid. He is actually a calm and intelligent guy but he is trapped in his own mind. His internal dialog is often fighting with his own body and he struggles to convey what he is thinking as him (his mind) and him (his body) are lmost like two different characters. Like when he tries to tell himself to ask Maya (a character in the game) to help him, to tell her he is peaceful and needs her help, his body screams "I HAVE THE SHINEST MEAT BICYCLE!!" and his mind groans "and great.. you just got us killed.."
So having a movie with his internal Dialog kind of narrating and commenting would have been a brillant move
Hollywood just can't adapt.
They were starting to get there though 😅
Krieg man they did Krieg dirty. Even if you don't care for borderlands Alteori, look up Krieg Borderlands trailer.
The role of TIna's big brother actually went to Brick which once again if you need to see them look up borderlands 2 tinas bunkers and badasses prolog.
Kreig (the guy with the mask) is the best character in the Borderlands franchise. Good to hear that a non-fan at least found him ok. I personally won't ever spend money for this movie. This is one of those movies that had the whole fanbase saying "WTF were they thinking?!" the moment the first trailer hit. I think it'll go down in history as Hollywood not learning from shitty movie versions of good franchises. Honestly, just the trailers looked as cringy as the ones from the Dukes of Hazzard movie and the Ghostbusters all-female remake. And we know what dumpster fires those movies are...
Just like Monster Hunter the movie
@8:50 I'm GenY (millennial) and the border lands movie would have appealed to us a decade ago the last Borderlands came out in 2019 not counting Tiny Tina's Wonderland which is its own spin off. Apparently the movie was so roughly done the writer had his name removed (Joe Ambercombie is a fake name) and Eli Roth literally left the film to do another movie. This was a decade too late to be relevant and that is because it took that long to come out.
Love the video~
Wait the home planet is Pandora?Then where the Naavi?
The movie came out a month after the game. Guess Handsome Jack did the Gargamel on them.
@@balazsvarga1823 oh ok
17:40 ok, you’re tickling some lost memories here
Lilith was a baddie in the games, they turned her into a middle aged single cat owning woman
Thank you Alteori for suffering for us to make this review
The Movie was made to Capitalize on The Success of The Games,
Without the Knowledge or Experience
Of What Made the Games popular.
10:11 The thing is, you are spot frickin on. Lilith’s character is supposed to be in her late 20’s.
Making a borderlands movie and it not being rated R was already a huge red flag.
Which is crazy cuz Eli Roth made it (he makes mostly bloody & gory movies)
A person that never played borderlands understand the game more than the movie makers and that shows 🤣💀💀
She went super saiyan? Is this a rehash of Captain Marvel?
It's over 9000.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if you do nothing else related to Borderlands watch Kreig's trailer
Hes pretty much what you said but with Maya instead, his true self is deep inside his ravaged mind and he sees Maya getting attacked and manages to cry out "turn around pretty lady!" Saving her
The casting is the whole reason why I call this movie “Boomerlands”
I called it that the whole time. Never played the games but saw the cast and wondered who would think teenagers and college kids would want to see this?
Zachary Quinto who played Sylar was Spock in the Star trek remake and he has a few voice actor credits very recently and one movie.
I thought this was CGI at first
Having this movie next to Deadpool and Wolverine is like comparing a well built house to a dog turd
It blows my mind that Alteori doesn't realize who Lilith is... or where she may have seen or heard her before? I know I have seen you do review on How to Train Your Dragon... and maybe you missed the two series... Cate Blanchett did a voice over in two series. She was the VA for Valka. But how... how can you NOT know this is Galadrial from LOTR and the Hobbit series? How the hell could you not know Claptrap was voiced by Jack Black. Geez put some damn effot into your reviews or don't do them.
Lilith is supposed to be twenty something, 30 at oldest, and she can teleport and release a wave of flames.
She is the mage of the cast, alongside the soldier Roland, the roid guy Brick and the sniper guy. Krieg is from Borderlands 2 and wasn't even in the same team. He is with Maya, Zero and the Gunzerker guy.
Roland: "I decided to go against my employers, all of my soldiers, and became a wanted man so I could save this girl from being used as a key to open the vault.'
Me: "By."
Roland: "Going down to pandora and using the girl as a key to open the vault."
Dang girl you are ferocious you tore that movie to shreds
At 1:54 you talk about if the story was about Tina and Krieg. Neat theory is that it's implied in the games that he may be her father. And him going crazy could be interpreted as him "dying" which is why he doesn't remember.
His BL2 character trailer also has a sane voice narrating but he seems to struggle in hearing/understanding it.
In 5 minutes, my immersion for this movie was instantly evaporated when they said that Pandora was once a peaceful planet.
I watched the trailer and my literal first thought was: "When NONE of the main cast are on screen it looks decent". and I was more referring to the effects quality which isn't that much of an achievement in this day and age. Had they made this as an animated movie with all characters done in the style of Borderlands I may have watched it, that said they uncomfortably aged up and down characters that really don't work with the age change. Like Lilith is 10 years older than anyone with her lookout on life would reasonably be, Lilith's mom should be her estranged grandma who at best ditched her mom at the nearest orphanage, and so on..
Cate Blanchett couldn’t pull off many expressions because all the botox prevented it.
Borderlands is a grindfest. They must have been smoking something when they decided to make a movie.
you got everything right that krieg is a good charachter that he has an internal voice which talks normal he was an experiment, he was normal then turned into krieg
Nice job, I hope your channel grows. You might be harsh, but right now this world needs harsh.
Also, I think your Avatar is so cute, my daughter would love it. Subbed.
Guess what? The idea you came up with where Krieg finds Tiny Tina and she becomes his voice, that's the relationship he has with the siren Maya from the 2nd game. She understands all his crazy talk
I think the studio exec thought that the reason 'The Last of Us' and 'Fallout' were well received was because people are just enjoying video game adaptations now. Like people's interest just shifted. They didn't realize that those were both love letters to the source material made by and starring people that were either already huge fans, or who were directed to play the source material and become huge fans. Since they thought 'the public' was just into this now, they did the same thing that's been done in the past. They hired a bunch of recognizable big name actors, and slapped together a completely generic action movie with 'Borderlands' skin on it.
I loved the tiny disappointed confused avatar with the tiny tucked in ears. These are so expressive. You were more interesting than the movie.
18:11 I'm having a deja vu with this one. Feels like it is a story that actually happened in universe.
It's funny that Jack Black is involved in this distaster movie when he made a popular song about video games and managed to voice act as Bowser for the Mario movie.
funny thing about Lilith is that she is that her Fighting Style should actually be like Nightcrawler from Spiderman since her ability lets her phase into and out of reality.
What you are referring to is Team fortress 2, and the machine gun guy is called Heavy. And it costs 400,000$ to fire his weapon, for 12 seconds.
4:20 “I don't know who the actress is...” That would be Cate Blanchett. Yeah, you know, Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings. That's her. I know.
It's telling that Borderlands makes Cate Blanchett; an actress who has been nominated for an Academy Award eight times and she has won twice, look like a female version of Steven Seagal to Alteori.
Great to see the Helena Shaw character resurface
This movie is a retcon of the first game, they didn't have much dialog or story to begin with in the first game, it was just treasure hunting with awesome guns. B2 made these characters a family and B3 made them completely stupid and act out of characters. And Claptrap was lots of fun in the old games while in this he is suppressed for the PG 13 rating.
This movie should have been like the first game but with an actual good story, and also we should have had lots of profanity, cool gun showcase and this merc dynamic between the characters since this is the first time they should meet as a rag tag group of mercs who work together to fulfill a contract
But all we have is B1 reimagined in the story of Borderlands 3, if Ava was present here I think the cinema would have burned.(for anyone wondering who Ava is just watch some cutscenes with her in B3 and you'll see why she is hated).
