I said this elsewhere, but essentially it looks like a "Turn your brain off" movie which kind of hits the notes that Borderlands is known for while also having a bit of a fun house mirror / "We've got [game] at home" feeling to it.

Overall though, it feels... forced. From the limited bits you can hear, I don't think Jack Black really works for Claptrap (no reason to not just keep the original VA outside of "Jack Black is so in right now" or some shit); the dialog feels overly filtered, if that makes any sense.... Like too many people edited it so that it achieved maximum 'for the lolz' (not that the first two games (the ones I actually have experience with) were the peak of writing, mind you); and I don't have any feelings one way or the other for Kevin Hart, but for this role I think he was also a bad casting choice (but what do I know, I've only seen a quick trailer... maybe he nails it).

Action looks decent enough, and I do appreciate that (at least from the looks of things) they're pushing Cate's character as the lead.
