About Borderlands

On her home planet, a feared bounty hunter returns to scavenge what she left behind, only to find a new threat on the horizon. Instead of pursuing bounties alone, she ends up teaming with a mismatched crew of unlikely allies. Together they cross hostile landscapes, fending off brutal monsters and vicious raiders as a young girl with extraordinary powers becomes the key to a weapon far beyond anyone's imagination. The mission quickly shifts from survival to a fragile alliance, as each member weighs loyalty against personal gain. The group's humor, gruff pragmatism, and growing trust keep the danger at bay while the clock ticks.

Directed by Eli Roth, Borderlands brings the video game to the screen with a stubborn sense of humor. It adapts Gearbox's universe while leaning into star powered performances from Cate Blanchett as Lilith and Kevin Hart as Roland.

Box office details have not been publicly disclosed at this time. Industry trackers await performance in multiple markets and streaming windows.

As of now, Borderlands has not received major nominations from the Oscars, Emmys, or Golden Globes. It may show up in genre or technical categories later, but there are no announced nominations at this time.

Reception and themes: Early chatter points to a film that balances fast paced action with sci fi wit. Themes of teamwork, trust and power dynamics shimmer through the ensemble as a grizzled bounty hunter reconsiders her priorities and finds family in a crew that fights for something larger than themselves.

Overall, audiences are divided between those who find it a watchable, fun experience and those who see it as a disappointing adaptation with uninspired execution.
