And what’s lacking? Oh yeah. There’s a wise-cracking robotic named Claptrap, voiced by Jack Black, who was clearly given free rein within the sound studio to riff a relentless barrage of grating wisecracks. It’s no small accomplishment when Kevin Hart doesn’t play probably the most annoying character in a film.

And there’s Tannis (Curtis), a Pandora-based scientist who’s been preserving monitor of the varied objects-of-power that may give the chosen one entry to the Vault.

Mentioned “chosen one” is presumably the bratty Tiny Tina, who is aware of she’s particular and is able to toss an exploding teddy bear at anybody who disagrees. With “dad” and a small military of mercenaries sporting what appear to be darker Imperial Storm Trooper fits in sizzling pursuit, there’s a lot operating, capturing, and slender escapes for the primary two acts.

After which, for some motive, Borderlands turns into a superhero film. Attempt not to think about Captain Marvel when that occurs.
