    So while it’s unlikely based on those box office numbers, has anybody actually seen this thing?

      A friend of mine who hasn’t played Borderlands went to see it. According to him, it’s not even “so bad it’s good,” it’s just flat and boring.

      I saw someone say it’s not the worst movie they’ve ever seen, it’s average to kinda good…

      That being said, it seemed as though they wanted to like it, which kinda cemented to me that it’s actually that bad 😂

      I did, lol. From the trailers it looked so bad it could be good, you know in that awful cheesy way that some movies are. In the end it wasn’t that bad. If you strip away the borderlands wrapper it was a decent comedy sci-fi film. Not gonna win any awards but solid 5/10. Really this should’ve just done it’s own thing, to me it just looked like an excuse for the actors to make money and cosplay XD.
