Overview

Borderlands 4K (2024)

Lilith, an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe’s most powerful S.O.B., Atlas. Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team – Roland, a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina, a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina’s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis, the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap, a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands – but they’ll be fighting for something more: each other.

Borderlands 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman October 28, 2024

Lionsgate has partnered with Amazon to offer an exclusive SteelBook release of Borderlands. This 4K and 1080 combo package mimics the actual disc contents of the previously reviewed Borderlands 4K wide release.


For my thoughts on the film, please head over to my Borderlands 4K Blu-ray review.

Borderlands 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.5 of 5

On disc supplements are detailed in the above linked review. This review offers several hi res photos of the packaging for those interested. The SteelBook packaging offers what I'm assuming is supposed to annoying adorable (and/or adorably annoying) droid Claptrap "ready for [his] [its?] close- up", with an emphasis on grimy metallic and bullet ridden textures and equally weathered looking yellow. The back panel (seen in photo 3) basically offers more of the same. The interior panels can be seen in photo 5, and amount to imagery on the left side and basically nothing underneath the discs on the right. A mylar O ring (seen in photos 6 and 7) offers the film's title on the front (enclosed by Claptrap's pincers), and credits on the back. A digital copy is also enclosed.


Borderlands 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Maybe due to the fact that advance word was so negative about this film, or perhaps also because I have never played the video game version and so had absolutely no frame of reference, my "expectations bar" was properly suitably lowered so that I actually was reasonably entertained by Borderlands. Is it some underappreciated masterpiece unduly rejected by critics and audiences? Hardly. But neither is it a complete, unmitigated disaster in my opinion. The story is, yes, derivative and pretty predictable, but there are some fun characters and the production design and cinematography give the film an engaging look. Technical merits are first rate and the supplements rather enjoyable, with this SteelBook's packaging offering Claptrap a moment to shine (if grimily), for anyone who may be considering making a purchase.
