If Borderlands was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

@TRAILER_TROLL2026-01-04 09:00 UTC

Borderlands put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

@AISLE_GHOUL2026-01-02 00:00 UTC

Borderlands treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

The script for Borderlands feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Borderlands?

Rewatched Borderlands last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Borderlands is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Director clearly thought Borderlands was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Unpopular opinion: Borderlands is the most overrated film of the decade

Honestly, Borderlands would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Borderlands?

Look, I wanted to love Borderlands. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
