‘Borderlands’ Review: Cate Blanchett Rocking A Killer Red Wig Livens Up Eli Roth’s Mess Of A Video Game Adaptation


A review of 'Borderlands', an adaptation of the video game which stars Cate Blanchett as a bounty hunter looking for a young girl on a wasteland planet

Then its original director and credited co-writer and Story creator Eli Roth shot the film during the pandemic in 2021 but when two weeks of reshoots were required had to turn it over to someone else due to his committment to completing last year’s hoot of a holiday horror movie, Thanksgiving. After narrating the setup for the film, when we actually meet her she is at a bar on Prometha, and quickly demonstrates her kick ass abilities, something noticed by the slick CEO Atlas ( Edgar Ramirez) who hires her to bring back his missing daughter, Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt) from Pandora, which as it turns out coincidentally happens to be an old hometown for Lillith who still holds psychological scars from it. There is Roland ( Kevin Hart) who has kidnapped Tina, Krieg (Florian Munteanu), Dr. Patricia Tannis ( Jamie Lee Curtis) with past secrets of her own, and Claptrap, a Wall-E wannabe robot voiced wittily by Jack Black who gets all the best lines in the entire movie.
