I think the reviews have chased us off Borderlands.

Posted by David (aka David) Aug 8 '24, 11:26

We have another three hours to cancel tickets, but I think we'll just wait the 17 days to watch it on Vudu.

Video game movies are typically awful. So I wouldn’t chalk this up to being Borderlands specific. -- nm - Qale Aug 8, 12:16 5
- The best video game movies is obviously Scott Pilgrim. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 8, 12:27 2
  - Current head coach at Kennesaw State! - David Aug 8, 12:30
  - You misspelled War Games. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:29
- Fallout deserves every ounce of praise it gets. -- nm - David Aug 8, 12:22
- *ding* Can we say cynical moneygrab -- nm - con_carne Aug 8, 12:22
almost like giving Eli Roth control of a camera is a bad idea. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 11:40
Yeah, no way I would *pay* for it. But I might cancel my Stubs+ ticket, which *really* sucks. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:39 7
- We canceled. I'm living a real life Silent Hill: The Room. - David Aug 8, 11:51 6
  - You could go see Trap instead. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 8, 11:57 5
    - You could also go see Point Break Rifftrax live tonight at 7 -- nm - Jovian Aug 8, 11:58
    - I wish it was better acted (like Split) but it's a decent thriller -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 11:58 3
      - Split was part of the trilogy, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:23
      - I might go this weekend if I have time. I'm willing to give Shyamalan a longer leash than many people. - Baron of the Rings Aug 8, 12:20 1
        
        I enjoy his when there is a super or supernatural twist, but I was hopeful for this one until the reviews dropped. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 12:37
Agreed, I'm skipping it. No movies in the theater this year! -- nm - JaxSean Aug 8, 11:35
I know nothing of the games, but the trailer looked fun. Sucks it is apparently that bad. -- nm - sycor Aug 8, 11:33
Local theater has more showings for It Ends With Us -- nm - budice Aug 8, 11:31
It’s not a movie for critics, as the saying goes. Nor is it suitable for consumption by most gamers, film lovers, or 99% of carbon-based life forms -- (edited) - Beaker 🍺 Aug 8, 11:30 1
- I kind of want to see it now to check out just how bad it is....but I'll wait to see it for free in a couple months -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Aug 8, 11:32
