Amazon`s Prime Day event features various Blu-ray deals, and while it`s ending today, there`s still a chance to snag the *Borderlands* movie. Despite its lukewarm reception compared to hits like *The Last of Us* or *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*, the film is available at a discount in 4K or Limited Edition Steelbook versions if you`re curious to see it for yourself.
The adaptation takes liberties with the game`s lore and characters, set on the dangerous planet Pandora. It follows the bounty hunter Lilith (played by Cate Blanchett) on a mission to find the missing daughter of Atlas, head of a major galaxy-wide corporation. Lilith forms an unlikely team with Roland (Kevin Hart), Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), Patricia Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), and Krieg (Florian Munteanu).
Objectively, *Borderlands* isn`t considered a great film, but it`s also not terrible – an average, colorful popcorn flick offering plenty of Easter eggs for fans. The Blu-ray releases include several bonus featurettes.
Bonus Features
- Borderlands: From Game to Screen

Perhaps the *Borderlands* movie`s reception highlights the success of other game adaptations. The article also mentions films like the *Doom* adaptation (noting the 4K version with restored gore), *Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children* (the enhanced cut), the *Five Nights at Freddy`s* movie, and the critically acclaimed animated series *Arcane*.
