As per the modern way then, it’s perhaps unsurprising that the movie will now be leaping to premium video on demand services at some speed. While we await a UK announcement, Lionsgate in the US is now making Borderlands available at home from 30th August, just three weeks after it made its debut in cinemas.

    To add to the insults, it was pointed out to me via Instagram yesterday, that in this shot from the trailer and film, you can see the crew member helping to pull the hatch open. 😄

      By the sound of it, thats going to be impossible! I wonder how much this will impact the directors going forward? I wonder if this will put them in movie jail?

    Eli Roth is a right wing Zionist pro-genocide piece of trash, and I am glad his movie is tanking.

      Yeah I think it’s a bit wild to say that it’s moving to streaming so fast because “that’s just what happens to modern movies” ignoring the fact that even people that tried to hate watch this came away depressed and not angry.

      It has almost nothing to do with the Borderlands games. It’s a, quoting Eli Roth, "mix of Star Wars, and Mad Max, and Fifth Element, and Barbarella, and Blade Runner, and Escape from New York.”

      …with a Borderlands cosmetic pack slapped on. Also it wasn’t anything like the quoted movies either, but that’s how he pitched it to Randy Pitchfork.
