WEBVTT

00:00:03.209 --> 00:00:04.629
You know what that sound means? It's another

00:00:04.629 --> 00:00:06.870
episode of Game for a Movie where we ask, are

00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:08.970
you game for a movie? My name is Mike. I will

00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:12.189
be your host tonight. I have a brand new movie

00:00:12.189 --> 00:00:16.250
that I saw in theaters to talk about. It is technically

00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:19.050
a bad movie. We'll get into why it's technically

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:21.800
a bad movie in a little bit. But first, we've

00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:23.960
got to talk about what we are drinking. Today

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:25.579
is actually going to be a chill day for me. Normally,

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.160
I am drinking, but I thought I'd take it a little

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.920
easy today. I've got a Sprite Chill. It's cherry

00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:33.659
lime. It's delicious. If you've not had it before,

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:36.899
I actually, like, I'm addicted to Coca -Cola.

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.740
Like, really addicted to it. And usually, Coca

00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:44.899
-Cola is in the house always. I went with the

00:00:44.899 --> 00:00:48.060
Sprite Chill this week instead of Coca -Cola.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.979
Because of how much I like this drink. It's very

00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:53.640
good if you've not had it before. But yeah, so

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.939
it's a chill Friday where we are sipping on a

00:00:56.939 --> 00:01:00.479
Sprite Chill. And enjoying talking about a bad

00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.799
movie that came out today of all days. So this

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.659
bad movie is Borderlands. Borderlands is written

00:01:08.659 --> 00:01:12.980
by Eli Roth. That's an important little stat

00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.079
there because the guy who actually wrote it.

00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:18.870
Asked for his name to be pulled off of the writing

00:01:18.870 --> 00:01:23.370
credits. If that is something to go by to start

00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:27.469
everything off, yeah, that's not a good start.

00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:30.129
So the script has been in development hell for

00:01:30.129 --> 00:01:34.349
a little while. The Last of Us creator Craig

00:01:34.349 --> 00:01:37.290
Mazin, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, was

00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:41.420
originally the writer on this. Basically, this

00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:44.000
script was selling like hotcakes, like everybody

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.760
wanted a piece of it. It was something that everybody

00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.939
knew was going to be a hit, especially with the

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:53.859
script he wrote. And then the changes happened

00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:59.519
and the studio interference and the official

00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.760
writer of this movie is now Eli Roth and Joe

00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.420
Abercrombie. Depending on your opinions of Eli

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:09.550
Roth. That's going to have a lot of input on

00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:12.590
what you think of this movie. He's given us some

00:02:12.590 --> 00:02:15.389
pretty decent horror movies in the past and everything

00:02:15.389 --> 00:02:17.870
like that. This is a little strange for him to

00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:20.490
be directing slash writing, but, you know, that's

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:23.669
what he decided he wanted to do. So let's go

00:02:23.669 --> 00:02:27.349
to why this is technically a bad movie and technically

00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:30.129
not. So usually when we're selecting a bad movie,

00:02:30.250 --> 00:02:33.110
for me anyway, I like to go with something...

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.560
That is under 40 % on both audience and critic

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.039
score for Rotten Tomatoes. When I went and saw

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.599
this movie, the critic score was a 3%. Now, as

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.159
of recording, it is up to 5%, and the audience

00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.080
score is 51%. So technically, yes, it is not

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:57.379
qualifying as a bad movie by my standards. However,

00:02:57.620 --> 00:03:01.270
this was a bad movie. I think it's a little cruel

00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:04.550
to give it a 5%. I will say that. I don't think

00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:06.990
it's that bad. I've seen a lot worse, especially

00:03:06.990 --> 00:03:10.129
for the show. But just in general, even if I

00:03:10.129 --> 00:03:12.949
hadn't seen all these bad movies, I don't think

00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:15.830
I would have given it a 5%. I'm currently in

00:03:15.830 --> 00:03:19.610
the range of like 30%. I still think it's a bad

00:03:19.610 --> 00:03:23.069
movie, no matter what you say about it. And I'll

00:03:23.069 --> 00:03:27.349
have more thoughts as we expand on it. But truthfully,

00:03:27.409 --> 00:03:30.669
I don't think... The critic score is fair. I

00:03:30.669 --> 00:03:32.969
also don't think, however, for the same price,

00:03:33.110 --> 00:03:35.770
that the audience score is fair, because some

00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:39.169
of these reviews are things like, it's not as

00:03:39.169 --> 00:03:41.550
good as Bucky Larson Born to Be a Star, five

00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:44.710
stars. You know, so there's definitely some people

00:03:44.710 --> 00:03:46.409
that are messing with the scores on this one.

00:03:47.610 --> 00:03:51.229
I think it truly counts as a bad movie. Hey,

00:03:51.349 --> 00:03:53.449
you can argue with me all you want about it,

00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:55.210
because at the end of the day, it is sitting

00:03:55.210 --> 00:04:00.490
at a 51 % audience score. It may not count. I

00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:02.689
still think it does. I saw it and I'm going to

00:04:02.689 --> 00:04:05.650
review it anyway as if it did. But we can have

00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:10.030
that conversation at our X slash Twitter or Instagram.

00:04:10.849 --> 00:04:12.550
Technically, we're still on Facebook, even though

00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:14.969
I deleted mine. So I can't really talk to you

00:04:14.969 --> 00:04:17.910
on there. So don't reach out to us there. So

00:04:17.910 --> 00:04:19.649
the first thing we got to talk about with this

00:04:19.649 --> 00:04:24.230
movie is the cast. The cast is interesting because

00:04:24.230 --> 00:04:28.129
you're looking at the cast going. This is heavy

00:04:28.129 --> 00:04:31.209
hitters. Like, these are big names. How does

00:04:31.209 --> 00:04:34.170
this movie get all these big names? And then

00:04:34.170 --> 00:04:35.889
you realize the characters they're trying to

00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:37.730
play, especially if you're a fan of the games.

00:04:38.209 --> 00:04:40.550
I've never played the games. I'm going to say

00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:43.269
that straight up. I know a lot about them. A

00:04:43.269 --> 00:04:46.670
lot. Because I have been interested in the lore.

00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:48.990
I just never actually picked up the game and

00:04:48.990 --> 00:04:50.949
played. And I'm sure I would love it if I did.

00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:54.620
I just haven't done so. But I know enough about

00:04:54.620 --> 00:04:56.379
the lore to know who these characters are supposed

00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:59.139
to be. And I'm seeing some of them going, that

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.920
doesn't really make sense. I'll give it in this

00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:04.899
movie. The weirdest casting I saw was Kevin Hart

00:05:04.899 --> 00:05:08.379
as Roland. Truthfully, I didn't mind his portrayal

00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:12.120
of Roland. It wasn't your normal, typical Kevin

00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:17.040
Hart goofiness. So am I a fan of it? No. But

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.199
for the most part, he wasn't too bad on a scale.

00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.000
Then we've got people like Jamie Lee Curtis as

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.839
Tannis. She was very strange in that role. I

00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.379
don't know why she needed to take this one. And

00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:34.639
I'll also say we want a Borderlands movie that

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.899
has Handsome Jack, right? That's what we want.

00:05:38.060 --> 00:05:41.079
I don't know how we didn't get even like a teaser

00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.639
of it or anything like that. We got nothing of

00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.100
even relating to Handsome Jack. Instead, we got

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:49.060
this character Atlas played by Edgar Ramirez.

00:05:50.020 --> 00:05:53.600
Which he was fine, but he also was nothing special.

00:05:54.819 --> 00:05:58.180
I think if you were to count a bad guy performance

00:05:58.180 --> 00:05:59.920
from this year, it's definitely going to be on

00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.319
the lower end. Just thinking about some of the

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.360
villains we've seen this year. But yeah, as we

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.040
dive into this movie, this cast is definitely

00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:09.399
something that we're going to be coming back

00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.439
to. Let's dive into the details though of the

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:15.560
actual movie itself. This is spoiler filled.

00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:17.980
So if you have not seen it and you want to see

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.399
it. Go see it, then come back. If you don't want

00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:23.000
to see it or you've seen it already, I'm going

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:25.600
to spoil pretty much everything. So, spoiler

00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:28.579
alert right now, here is the entirety of the

00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:32.120
Borderlands movie. First off, the movie starts

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.959
with some narration. We know because we know

00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.500
who Cate Blanchett is that it's Cate Blanchett's

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:40.399
voice and she's talking about Pandora. Pandora

00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:44.339
is a planet that has been taken over by psychos.

00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.040
I'll also say treasure hunters that are looking

00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.279
for this vault. This vault was put there by the

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.980
Iridiums. The Iridiums, basically, you need to

00:06:55.980 --> 00:07:04.110
have a child of Iridia to open the vault. Everybody's

00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:05.810
trying to figure out how to open this vault on

00:07:05.810 --> 00:07:08.930
Pandora. It's made it so that there's a ton of

00:07:08.930 --> 00:07:10.750
people called psychos that are killing people.

00:07:11.110 --> 00:07:13.269
There's the treasure hunters that have taken

00:07:13.269 --> 00:07:16.029
over. And basically, it's been bad for the people

00:07:16.029 --> 00:07:20.329
who live in Pandora, this whole vault hunt. That

00:07:20.329 --> 00:07:22.350
is the narration that gets us started. And then

00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:26.430
we end up in a prison -like satellite that's

00:07:26.430 --> 00:07:28.629
floating around and everything like that, where

00:07:28.629 --> 00:07:32.050
Roland tries to break out Tina. Roland is played

00:07:32.050 --> 00:07:34.709
by Kevin Hart. Tina is played by Ariana Greenblatt.

00:07:35.689 --> 00:07:38.769
There's a couple short jokes about the fact that

00:07:38.769 --> 00:07:41.290
Roland is played by Kevin Hart. Short, obviously.

00:07:41.730 --> 00:07:44.189
And there's a couple sarcastic jokes back at

00:07:44.189 --> 00:07:46.889
her expense. Roland is trying to break her out

00:07:46.889 --> 00:07:48.990
of the prison -like place. We don't know why

00:07:48.990 --> 00:07:51.709
at this point. But we think it's just she's been

00:07:51.709 --> 00:07:54.250
captured and he wants to do the right thing and

00:07:54.250 --> 00:07:57.660
break her out. They do get attacked by the Lance

00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:01.160
Soldiers. So Lance is the corporation that works

00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:04.220
for Atlas. We don't know this at this time, but

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:05.899
I'm just going to try to make it easier for everybody

00:08:05.899 --> 00:08:09.160
involved. And one of the Lance Soldiers is this

00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.160
girl Knox, who has a disagreement with Kevin

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:15.180
Hart, Roland. And you can tell there's kind of

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:17.860
a would -they -won't -they by the end of this

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:20.500
movie. While they are fighting the Lance Soldiers,

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.629
one of the psychos escapes from the... prison

00:08:24.629 --> 00:08:28.250
ship as well. He is played by Florian Montinu.

00:08:28.910 --> 00:08:32.549
He is Victor Drago in the Creed movies. He plays

00:08:32.549 --> 00:08:36.470
Krieg in this movie, a psycho that really is

00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:39.669
just there to protect Tina. And so Roland is

00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:41.509
able to come to an agreement with him that he

00:08:41.509 --> 00:08:45.169
is protecting her and wants to help her escape.

00:08:45.429 --> 00:08:48.899
So Krieg is happy to follow along as well. Then

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:51.340
we get a title card showing that we are now 50

00:08:51.340 --> 00:08:53.580
light years away and we are introducing Cate

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:57.779
Blanchett's character of Lilith. Lilith is a

00:08:57.779 --> 00:09:01.720
bounty hunter and we are introduced to her as

00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.120
she is trying to get this bounty. She sits down

00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.000
at a bar, basically knocks the guy out so she

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.860
can drink before turning him in for the money.

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:14.779
Three guys approach Lilith at the bar, two of

00:09:14.779 --> 00:09:16.659
which are the muscle, one is like the smooth

00:09:16.659 --> 00:09:19.879
talker kind of thing. Lilith, done talking with

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.399
them, flips around and shoots the two muscle

00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.519
guys and then holds the one guy at gunpoint.

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:28.539
Everybody leaves the bar and she's left alone

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:34.360
with that guy. And then another guy who is Atlas.

00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.720
It's not really Atlas. It's Atlas's face on a

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.980
regular guy. And Lilith, not wanting to hear

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:45.500
what he has to say, shoots him immediately. So

00:09:45.500 --> 00:09:48.159
this innocent guy. I'm assuming innocent. Maybe

00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:49.940
not. Maybe he does work for the organization

00:09:49.940 --> 00:09:52.460
or whatever. But this innocent guy is now dead

00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:55.639
just because Atlas wanted to use his face. Or

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.980
use his body, really. Atlas makes the smooth

00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:02.039
talker wear the device on his face so Atlas can

00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.159
talk to her and not get shot. Obviously, he does

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.519
these kind of deals and knows how dangerous it

00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.759
can be and everything like that. And he offers

00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.879
Lilith a ton of money to go to Pandora and...

00:10:14.329 --> 00:10:18.070
rescue his kidnapped daughter tina lila sees

00:10:18.070 --> 00:10:20.350
how much money she could end up getting and she

00:10:20.350 --> 00:10:22.669
agrees to do so this is going to take her back

00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:25.529
to her home planet pandora when she first gets

00:10:25.529 --> 00:10:27.590
to pandora she knows she needs a ride so she

00:10:27.590 --> 00:10:32.210
goes and takes a tour bus kind of thing for treasure

00:10:32.210 --> 00:10:35.330
hunters led by this guy marcus marcus is kind

00:10:35.330 --> 00:10:37.830
of annoying but you know he's just this big loud

00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:40.679
salesman that's trying to like Make a quick buck

00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.299
off of these treasure hunters running tours and

00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:45.320
everything. Really, she doesn't want to be on

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.200
this bus. It's just the quickest way to get to

00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:52.799
Firestone where Tina was last seen. So after

00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:55.100
listening to the long tour video and getting

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:57.620
to Firestone, this is where the treasure hunt

00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:59.740
is supposed to begin. Even though she's not a

00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:02.440
treasure hunter, she's a bounty hunter. Marcus

00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:04.779
knows that she's going to end up looking for

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:08.039
the treasure. She gets the Firestone and she

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.019
starts sensing that something's following her

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:13.519
and she doesn't exactly know what. And when it

00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.960
finally pops its head out, she shoots him straight

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.500
in the face. And that was Claptrap. Claptrap

00:11:20.500 --> 00:11:24.080
is a robot played by Jack Black. He's been asleep

00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.019
for 35 years, we learned, but for whatever reason,

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.740
when she got to the planet, he got reactivated.

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:32.159
And he doesn't know who he works for. He doesn't

00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:34.159
know why he got reactivated. He just knows he

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.720
got reactivated because she set foot on the planet

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.019
again. After shooting him more than once, Lilith

00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:43.100
is finally talking with Claptrap and realizes

00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:46.279
how annoying he is, but he can be of some use.

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:50.179
She shows him a picture. He's able to connect

00:11:50.179 --> 00:11:54.100
to the... which is the satellite system across

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:56.799
the entire planet of Pandora, and he's able to

00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.200
find where she was last seen based on the picture

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:04.139
she gives him. He ends up seeing her at this,

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:08.960
like, big ship clearing that crashed on the planet,

00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:12.559
and they decide that they're going to go in the

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.899
morning and try to find her and take her home

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:17.399
to her father. One of the things they need to

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.139
do in order to do so is steal some wheels, which

00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:23.100
happens a little too easy from some psychos and

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:27.379
also the Lance soldiers. Lilith is able to figure

00:12:27.379 --> 00:12:29.440
out that they're working together. She doesn't

00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.200
understand why, but she can see that they're

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:33.480
working together somehow, including capturing

00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:36.440
children, which is a little strange to me. They

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.480
don't really go into detail about that, but that

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:41.360
did happen. The scavenger children, for whatever

00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:44.159
reason, were kidnapped and put in these cages.

00:12:45.019 --> 00:12:47.080
Lilith kind of shows that she has a heart because

00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.399
she frees the kids first and then takes out the

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:55.500
psycho and steals his car in order for her and

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:59.279
Claptrap to get to where Tina was last seen.

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.379
Lilith goes into the ship where she thinks that

00:13:03.379 --> 00:13:06.940
Tina might be staying and sees all of these stuffed

00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:09.360
animals on the wall and on the bed and everything

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.950
like that. You know, she figures it's a kid.

00:13:13.049 --> 00:13:14.929
This kid loves her stuffed animals and everything

00:13:14.929 --> 00:13:18.190
like that. So she's kind of talking to nobody,

00:13:18.250 --> 00:13:21.529
but she kind of senses that Tina might be listening.

00:13:21.570 --> 00:13:24.009
Tina might be there. And she was saying that

00:13:24.009 --> 00:13:26.789
she wants to bring her to her father, rescue

00:13:26.789 --> 00:13:29.490
her and bring her to Atlas. And at first, Tina

00:13:29.490 --> 00:13:34.889
seems really excited. And so she asks Lilith

00:13:34.889 --> 00:13:38.610
to grab her bunny on the bed and bring it with.

00:13:39.230 --> 00:13:41.610
And so Lilith grabs the stuffed animal and all

00:13:41.610 --> 00:13:44.570
of a sudden it starts lighting up. It turns out

00:13:44.570 --> 00:13:48.230
it's a bomb. So Lilith is able to escape to where

00:13:48.230 --> 00:13:52.429
Tina is. Tina had climbed up the ship face and

00:13:52.429 --> 00:13:55.450
is now above her and has the high ground. And

00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:57.990
she just starts chucking stuffed animal bombs

00:13:57.990 --> 00:14:00.769
at her. After a while, it seems like she runs

00:14:00.769 --> 00:14:03.149
out of ammunition or is just like done throwing

00:14:03.149 --> 00:14:06.419
stuff at her and goes, well. At least I still

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:09.480
have my protector. Hey, Krieg. And Krieg breaks

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.159
in and starts attacking Lilith. Obviously, this

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.840
big battle and all of these explosions and everything,

00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:19.539
they kind of draw some attention to them. So

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:22.500
the Lance soldiers hear the explosions and they

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:25.299
know where to find Tina. Knox is in the lead

00:14:25.299 --> 00:14:28.460
and is just leading this army over to her and

00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:30.320
says that they're going to bring her back and

00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.100
everything like that. Lilith, outsmarting Krieg,

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:35.820
gets sent up to the top of the ship face and

00:14:35.820 --> 00:14:38.419
is basically like, okay, I didn't realize that

00:14:38.419 --> 00:14:41.600
Atlas sent more than one person. This is my bounty.

00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.340
I'm taking it home with me. Tina, not wanting

00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:48.759
to be caught by either of them, throws another

00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.899
explosive towards Nox's direction and it blows

00:14:51.899 --> 00:14:54.879
up the ship and it starts to fall. So Tina and

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.110
Lilith end up on the ground now with Krieg. And

00:14:58.110 --> 00:14:59.970
they're kind of stuck. There's nobody around

00:14:59.970 --> 00:15:02.149
or anything like that. And this army is coming

00:15:02.149 --> 00:15:05.990
after them. Until Roland comes around in his

00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:10.169
big old souped up SUV. And everybody hops in,

00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.190
including Claptrap. There's a whole little skirmish

00:15:13.190 --> 00:15:14.909
about who's going to drive, who's going to shoot

00:15:14.909 --> 00:15:17.730
at the army and everything like that. And they

00:15:17.730 --> 00:15:20.690
get slowed down because somehow Claptrap ends

00:15:20.690 --> 00:15:23.830
up being the one driving and is not doing a very

00:15:23.830 --> 00:15:26.320
good job about it. So they get wrapped up by

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:28.980
a bunch of other SUVs. It's kind of like a convoy

00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:32.559
now and they think they're stuck. Well, Roland

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:35.539
figures out, hey, I know a shortcut. I can get

00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:39.700
us out of here. He swings his SUV left and they

00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:45.279
go to the piss swamp. I wish I was joking about

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.100
that. It is literally a piss swamp and it is.

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:51.659
overseen by this thing called a thresher, which

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:53.679
is like a giant worm with tentacles and everything

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.679
like that. Basically, one of the things that

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.559
happens is Tina's just like, what's that smell

00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:00.340
trying to open the window so she can get the

00:16:00.340 --> 00:16:02.740
smell out? And they all get splashed with urine.

00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:06.360
But as Claptrap says, it's not just urine. It's

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:09.460
also like 16 % fecal matter. So, you know, poop,

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:13.299
piss jokes. Yeah, that's what we're on. This

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:15.139
is the level of humor we have for this movie.

00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.620
They're trying to get through the piss swamp

00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.259
and all of the tentacles that are attacking them

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:23.840
from the thresher. And then they get to the end

00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.720
of the road where the thresher is waiting for

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.500
them and realize they're kind of stuck. So Roland

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:33.960
hits the reverse and they're being followed by

00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.559
the Lance soldiers as well. So either way, they're

00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:38.379
kind of stuck there between a rock and a hard

00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:42.740
place. Well, Roland has an idea and decides that

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:47.120
he's going to step on the gas. hit a jump, throw

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.480
a grenade that goes into the Thresher's mouth,

00:16:50.539 --> 00:16:53.799
perfectly explodes, and they go through the Thresher's

00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.960
mouth, through his neck, and land on the other

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.960
side while the Thresher dies. This gives them

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:04.500
just enough time to get away from it, and basically

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:06.440
they don't have to worry about the army for a

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:08.859
little bit, and the Thresher's dead. This takes

00:17:08.859 --> 00:17:11.660
us to our first night of camping out. Where basically

00:17:11.660 --> 00:17:13.819
a whole conversation starts about the fact that

00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:16.599
they don't think they can trust Lilith or Claptrap.

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:19.660
I almost said Craptrap. But honestly, with his

00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:21.599
character, even though it's played by the wonderful

00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.420
Jack Black, Craptrap might be a better name for

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:28.480
him. Because, I don't know, the humor in this

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:31.180
movie I feel like never really hit. They think

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:33.039
they're a lot funnier than they actually are.

00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.579
And that's part of the problem. Plus, I know

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:38.799
somebody like Claptrap, he's supposed to be funny,

00:17:38.819 --> 00:17:41.480
but he's also supposed to be annoying. And there's

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.500
a fine line that you need to balance. And even

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:45.339
though it is Jack Black and we all love him and

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:47.819
everything like that, it just doesn't quite hit.

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.880
It's more annoying than it is funny. I definitely

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.880
felt towards the end that he was grading on me

00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.940
a lot. So Lilith is able to convince him to trust

00:17:56.940 --> 00:18:00.180
her and Claptrap to show like, hey, we fired

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:02.400
on the Lance crew. We're obviously like doing

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:07.200
this job, but really we're here now to protect

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.900
the girl. So their next plan is they're going

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:13.299
to find Roland's contact, the scientist. They

00:18:13.299 --> 00:18:15.359
don't say what the scientist's name is, but they

00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:17.460
are looking for the scientist. So they head to

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.400
Sanctuary City and they have like these masks

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.079
that they wear so they can blend in. These masks

00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.640
are like light masks, like it's made out of light.

00:18:26.700 --> 00:18:29.279
So it like hides your face, but it's just kind

00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:31.559
of cooler looking, I guess. There's no real point

00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:35.680
to it. Marcus is at the Sanctuary City. He was

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:37.220
the guy that did the tour and everything like

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:40.400
that. And he immediately recognizes Lilith. So

00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:42.839
it makes me wonder, are these masks even any

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.059
good? Because he recognized her right off the

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:47.839
bat. They go to a place called Moxie's. Moxie

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:50.039
is played by Gina Gershon. She lets them all

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:53.519
in. She gets a milkshake for Tina and then drinks

00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:55.880
for the rest. And they're going to talk for a

00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.700
little bit. And she's going to be able to show

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:02.450
them where the scientist is, is the idea. Meanwhile,

00:19:02.690 --> 00:19:05.950
there is a guy named Larry who is an off -duty

00:19:05.950 --> 00:19:09.250
Lance soldier that recognize Roland. And they

00:19:09.250 --> 00:19:11.089
apparently have some history and they're really

00:19:11.089 --> 00:19:12.789
close friends. So Roland's just like, I'm going

00:19:12.789 --> 00:19:14.750
to handle this. You get the information from

00:19:14.750 --> 00:19:18.049
Moxie. Roland learns from Larry that the bounty

00:19:18.049 --> 00:19:20.710
on him has gone up. Instead of 100 ,000 credits,

00:19:20.890 --> 00:19:26.109
it's now 150 ,000 credits. And Moxie tells Lilith.

00:19:26.430 --> 00:19:29.130
That she knew her and her mother when she was

00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:31.470
younger. And that her mother loved her and knew

00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:33.569
that she was special. And Lilith is just like,

00:19:33.650 --> 00:19:35.769
no, I didn't come to deal with this. I just want

00:19:35.769 --> 00:19:38.049
to know where the scientist is. So Moxie shows

00:19:38.049 --> 00:19:40.710
her where the scientist should be. It's this

00:19:40.710 --> 00:19:43.309
stairway. And you have to say the password echo.

00:19:43.589 --> 00:19:46.470
And that's going to get you up the stairway to

00:19:46.470 --> 00:19:51.789
the scientist. Larry is all of a sudden getting

00:19:51.789 --> 00:19:55.140
a little trigger happy. He wants that bounty

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:58.819
on Roland. He now knows if he captures him, he

00:19:58.819 --> 00:20:01.480
gets 150 ,000 credits. And because it's gone

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.980
up even more so, now he wants to take him out.

00:20:04.460 --> 00:20:07.200
Before Larry, played by Bobby Lee, by the way,

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:11.500
before he's able to get his weapon, Moxie is

00:20:11.500 --> 00:20:14.960
able to tase him. And so he's subdued, and basically

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:17.279
he convinces the Lance soldiers that he drank

00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.250
too much. And Bobby Lee's just like, no, she

00:20:20.250 --> 00:20:22.589
tased me. I didn't drink too much. You know I

00:20:22.589 --> 00:20:26.150
can handle my liquor. But she's able to hide

00:20:26.150 --> 00:20:29.609
that and get them out the back door. While Larry

00:20:29.609 --> 00:20:32.890
is stunned, though, he does hear Claptrap and

00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:37.390
realizes he's part of their group. They're able

00:20:37.390 --> 00:20:39.410
to sneak out the back door and they get to the

00:20:39.410 --> 00:20:41.730
stairway. And I say stairway, but really it's

00:20:41.730 --> 00:20:43.890
an elevator. And they did say it was a stairway.

00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:47.619
I don't understand why. They said stairway when

00:20:47.619 --> 00:20:50.059
it was really an elevator. She says the password

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:52.700
echo, it doesn't work. Then Tina goes echo, echo,

00:20:52.779 --> 00:20:55.460
echo, and it works. And they're able to get up

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:58.680
to the scientist who is above Sanctuary City.

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:02.339
The scientist, her name is Tannis, and she is

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:06.660
played by Jamie Lee Curtis. We learn right off

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.960
the bat that Tannis and Lilith have a little

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.839
bit of a history. I don't think it came out now,

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:13.640
but it really doesn't matter that much to the

00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:16.690
story at this point. Basically, when Lilith's

00:21:16.690 --> 00:21:23.329
mother died, she had given up Lilith to Tannis

00:21:23.329 --> 00:21:25.630
to watch over. And Tannis didn't do a very good

00:21:25.630 --> 00:21:28.609
job watching over her. She kind of put herself

00:21:28.609 --> 00:21:31.950
into her science stuff and not into raising a

00:21:31.950 --> 00:21:34.650
child. So Lilith is kind of upset that they're

00:21:34.650 --> 00:21:37.549
dealing with Tannis. And she goes and sits out

00:21:37.549 --> 00:21:39.349
on the balcony and just kind of watches over

00:21:39.349 --> 00:21:43.710
the city. And who comes out to join her but Tina.

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.960
Tina is kind of like talking about all about

00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:51.319
her dad and everything like that. And that she's

00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.500
she's not really biological child of Atlas. She

00:21:56.500 --> 00:22:00.819
basically he found the first key and on that

00:22:00.819 --> 00:22:04.960
key was iridium blood. And so he was able to

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.039
create clones because he knows he needs a child

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.559
of the iridium to open the vault. So she's basically

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:15.819
been an experiment. She's been captive in this

00:22:15.819 --> 00:22:18.500
prison ship and everything like that just to

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:21.440
get experiments done on her. And she knows she's

00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:24.000
not the first of the experiments. But she also

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.799
knows that because she is Iridium, she is going

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.319
to be special. Lilith kind of connects with her.

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:35.480
And she's willing to drop her differences with

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:39.700
Tannis to work together to find this vault. they

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:42.359
know if they find this vault they can get out

00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:44.359
scot -free and not have to worry about atlas

00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.579
chasing after tina anymore and lilith has kind

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:50.220
of found that's what she wants she wants uh she

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:53.599
wants tina to be on her own and maybe the group

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:55.380
will stay together maybe not maybe they'll stay

00:22:55.380 --> 00:22:57.819
together who knows she just sees a little bit

00:22:57.819 --> 00:23:01.140
of herself and tina and wants to protect this

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:06.079
child so tanis lays the plan they are going to

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.380
find the second key which they know is in this

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.440
thought to be abandoned mine. They don't know

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:14.460
exactly where, but they know that they need to

00:23:14.460 --> 00:23:16.940
get into this mine. And in order to do so, they

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:20.799
need to go in this tunnel that has like this

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.500
chemical, this corrosive chemical. So they make

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.980
this plan that they're going to do and everything

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:26.339
like that. They're going to sleep it off for

00:23:26.339 --> 00:23:28.579
the night. And for whatever reason, Claptrap

00:23:28.579 --> 00:23:31.980
goes down to the city and just like takes a field

00:23:31.980 --> 00:23:34.380
trip. There's no reason for it. He just does.

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:38.519
And he gets noticed by Larry. And so Larry's

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:40.440
like following him and they know they need to

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:42.900
get out of there now. They need to hightail it.

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:46.000
The Lance soldiers that now know they're in the

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.099
city start looking at everybody, including people

00:23:49.099 --> 00:23:51.099
wearing masks because they want to find these

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:56.440
guys and capture them. So these guys get away

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:59.180
in a trash truck. They escape in a trash truck.

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:03.160
My thing is they are checking almost every person.

00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:05.960
why wouldn't you check like trucks and stuff

00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:08.460
that are leaving the city especially one that

00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:12.019
definitely is big enough to hide six people right

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:15.019
nope they don't do it i don't know it's whatever

00:24:15.019 --> 00:24:17.740
so our crew gets to the mine and the tunnel that

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:20.119
leads in they talk about the corrosive chemical

00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.920
and how basically eats through anything except

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.720
for the minerals in the cave i have a problem

00:24:25.720 --> 00:24:29.079
with this because later they you see this chemical

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:34.289
is being transported by pipes and like that isn't

00:24:34.289 --> 00:24:36.589
made out of the mineral of the cave or these

00:24:36.589 --> 00:24:38.710
pipes normal pipes and it just isn't getting

00:24:38.710 --> 00:24:41.630
eaten through i don't know that's just what my

00:24:41.630 --> 00:24:45.950
thought was at this point tina is ready to lead

00:24:45.950 --> 00:24:48.289
the way so she jumps on the grates above the

00:24:48.289 --> 00:24:52.809
chemical and basically she's like i did it because

00:24:52.809 --> 00:24:54.430
i'm the lightest so we wanted to see and make

00:24:54.430 --> 00:24:57.710
sure this works and then she starts jumping up

00:24:57.710 --> 00:24:59.630
and down on it because she thinks oh this is

00:24:59.630 --> 00:25:02.599
fine i'm special i'm supposed to be alive, and

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.880
she falls. Krieg somehow ends up there and saves

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:11.480
her life, and they all plan to go down this grate

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:13.440
but take it slow and everything like that. She

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:16.460
showed them how dangerous it can be. They also

00:25:16.460 --> 00:25:19.279
send Claptrap an alternate way to open up the

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.900
door at the end. Basically, he just goes through

00:25:21.900 --> 00:25:23.880
a sewer pipe that doesn't have any of this chemical

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:26.339
or anything like that, and he's going to connect

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:28.500
with the echo net in order to open the door.

00:25:28.990 --> 00:25:31.250
They get to the end of the tunnel and they see

00:25:31.250 --> 00:25:35.190
this plant. It's like a beautiful plant that

00:25:35.190 --> 00:25:39.430
is growing in between the cracks in this tunnel.

00:25:39.990 --> 00:25:42.890
And Tina's talking about the fact that, oh, beauty

00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:45.329
even in the place of hopelessness and everything.

00:25:45.569 --> 00:25:47.730
And then Claptrap comes down. He's like, I opened

00:25:47.730 --> 00:25:50.369
the door and jumps right on the planet on the

00:25:50.369 --> 00:25:53.269
plant and like start squishing it back and forth

00:25:53.269 --> 00:25:54.829
because he's so excited that we're going and

00:25:54.829 --> 00:25:58.779
everything like that again. Just a joke that

00:25:58.779 --> 00:26:02.380
you can see coming a mile away and yet they still

00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:06.279
went for it. They look through the door because

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:10.319
now they can see in and they see that there are

00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.200
a group of psychos in this mine. And not just

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:16.640
any psychos. These are the, I think they call

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:18.960
them blood spots. I didn't write down the name,

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:21.240
but I think they're blood spots. And basically

00:26:21.240 --> 00:26:23.500
these are like psychos on steroids. Like they're

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:27.089
even worse than normal psychos. So after doing

00:26:27.089 --> 00:26:29.130
like a quick scan and stuff, Lilith and Roland

00:26:29.130 --> 00:26:30.970
both decide that there are too many to go on

00:26:30.970 --> 00:26:32.930
head on. They're not going to fight them. They're

00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:35.890
going to try to sneak around them. So they come

00:26:35.890 --> 00:26:38.509
up with the idea because Claptrap is basically

00:26:38.509 --> 00:26:41.089
indestructible to bullets. They're going to send

00:26:41.089 --> 00:26:44.029
him to be a distraction. So he wheels his way

00:26:44.029 --> 00:26:46.789
through, gets to the front and starts like talking

00:26:46.789 --> 00:26:49.450
to them and everything. And the blood spots.

00:26:50.269 --> 00:26:53.309
Yeah, they go crazy and they just start shooting

00:26:53.309 --> 00:26:57.599
at him, unloading on him. And so he's taking

00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:00.839
all of them and basically the crew is able to

00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:05.039
sneak behind them and get into the mine. This

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:10.940
mine is full of a shit ton of boxes. And they

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:13.019
know the key is supposed to be in one of them,

00:27:13.059 --> 00:27:14.960
but they're like, this is going to take a while.

00:27:15.819 --> 00:27:19.000
Unless somebody, I'm not going to name names,

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:22.880
but somebody. has a unique ability to be able

00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.759
to sense the keys that they never knew about

00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:27.660
before, and they look in one box and find it

00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:30.140
immediately. So they've got two of the three

00:27:30.140 --> 00:27:32.700
keys. This is great. This is good news, because

00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:36.140
now they can work on getting that third key and

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:40.259
then get to the vault, right? Well, they all

00:27:40.259 --> 00:27:41.960
of a sudden hear something, and it sounds like

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:44.539
metal dropping, and they're wondering what the

00:27:44.539 --> 00:27:46.579
hell that is, and they're being quiet and everything.

00:27:47.480 --> 00:27:50.779
And it's Claptrap, and he is essentially pooping

00:27:50.779 --> 00:27:54.160
out the bullets. That's the best way I got for

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:56.759
it, because he releases his back door and just

00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:59.519
literally squeezes out these bullets. And he

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:02.500
says he's getting rid of the unnecessary iron

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:06.140
in his system because of all these bullets. But

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:09.220
you know that noise, it draws the blood spots.

00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:11.980
They hear it, and they start going crazy, and

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:14.519
they start piling into the mines. And even though

00:28:14.519 --> 00:28:16.079
they agreed that they couldn't take them all

00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:18.750
on, well, They're going to go and try to take

00:28:18.750 --> 00:28:20.809
them all on. So they start shooting at them.

00:28:20.849 --> 00:28:23.049
They start blowing them up. There's a spot where

00:28:23.049 --> 00:28:25.390
Tina stabs one of them, and you can tell she

00:28:25.390 --> 00:28:29.230
gets a little bloodlusty. And basically, they're

00:28:29.230 --> 00:28:31.990
just going through all of them with the trope

00:28:31.990 --> 00:28:34.490
of, like, there's multiple tropes at this point.

00:28:34.809 --> 00:28:37.829
There's no reloading at all. We never see any

00:28:37.829 --> 00:28:39.730
of that. There's unlimited bullets, essentially.

00:28:40.269 --> 00:28:42.670
And bad guys miss every shot that they take.

00:28:44.009 --> 00:28:47.960
There's just six of them. They should have been

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.660
defeated at this point, in my opinion, because

00:28:50.660 --> 00:28:55.700
you've got. Maybe 200, 300 like blood hungry

00:28:55.700 --> 00:28:58.299
psychos that are trying to kill anything that

00:28:58.299 --> 00:29:03.019
moves in there and. They just can't. They get

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:04.579
out of the chamber with all the boxes and they

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:08.200
get to an elevator that needs fixing. So Tannis

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:10.640
and Claptrap are going to try to restart it and

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:13.140
get the cables working and everything like that.

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:15.700
At first they fix it. They think it are good.

00:29:16.269 --> 00:29:19.250
They get everybody to come back because Krieg,

00:29:19.250 --> 00:29:22.670
Krieg and Roland go to the main like hallway

00:29:22.670 --> 00:29:25.269
that they're coming down and start shooting and

00:29:25.269 --> 00:29:28.230
taking out all of them. And Krieg is like battling

00:29:28.230 --> 00:29:30.170
all of them. And this is a part where they shoot

00:29:30.170 --> 00:29:33.210
the pipes and the corrosive chemical like kind

00:29:33.210 --> 00:29:38.569
of melts the blood spots. That's when I was talking

00:29:38.569 --> 00:29:40.769
about the fact that this corrosive metal or this

00:29:40.769 --> 00:29:43.730
corrosive chemical can just like sit in metal

00:29:43.730 --> 00:29:47.250
and it's just fine. Didn't understand that at

00:29:47.250 --> 00:29:50.369
all, but basically some of these psychos are

00:29:50.369 --> 00:29:53.809
getting absolutely destroyed by this corrosive

00:29:53.809 --> 00:29:57.990
chemical. At the same time, Tina and Lilith are

00:29:57.990 --> 00:30:01.170
trying to block off another way that the psychos

00:30:01.170 --> 00:30:05.309
are trying to come through. And basically, Tina

00:30:05.309 --> 00:30:09.410
is able to help secure the door as they're pushing

00:30:09.410 --> 00:30:12.410
and they can try to like, you can see the screws

00:30:12.410 --> 00:30:15.450
are like. pushing and everything everything's

00:30:15.450 --> 00:30:17.529
moving and they're going to break through any

00:30:17.529 --> 00:30:19.369
second they need to get this elevator up and

00:30:19.369 --> 00:30:22.230
running tannis and claptrap finally think they

00:30:22.230 --> 00:30:24.210
got it working so they get everybody to go to

00:30:24.210 --> 00:30:26.069
the elevator they close the door and they press

00:30:26.069 --> 00:30:29.349
the up button nothing works tannis looks outside

00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:32.630
the elevator and sees that one of the wires needs

00:30:32.630 --> 00:30:35.410
to be connected and somebody needs to connect

00:30:35.410 --> 00:30:41.269
it for them so someone needs to stay behind and

00:30:41.269 --> 00:30:44.539
that is Roland. Roland decides he's going to

00:30:44.539 --> 00:30:47.079
sacrifice himself for the good of the group to

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.200
get this wire connected and try to take out as

00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:54.039
many of these blood spots as possible. Tina hands

00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:58.799
him a bunny bomb called Bob so that he has a

00:30:58.799 --> 00:31:02.519
fighting chance, and he goes out, connects the

00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:05.400
wire, they hit the elevator, and they fly up

00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:09.900
towards freedom, essentially. So here's my thing.

00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:13.240
For the most part, movies when somebody sacrifices

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.319
themselves you can usually guess it's either

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.180
going to actually be a sacrifice or they're going

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:21.240
to be safe somehow and that kind of thing even

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:24.259
if he wasn't going to be safe which I totally

00:31:24.259 --> 00:31:27.279
thought he was Roland was kind of boring and

00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:31.720
I would have been okay if he actually sacrificed

00:31:31.720 --> 00:31:33.559
himself I actually think that would have helped

00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.549
his character a little more Unfortunately, that's

00:31:36.549 --> 00:31:39.450
not how that goes. He did survive, and it's mostly

00:31:39.450 --> 00:31:42.670
because of Bob and because of his unlimited bull

00:31:42.670 --> 00:31:45.829
attack that he somehow had. So he's able to take

00:31:45.829 --> 00:31:50.710
out all of the blood spots and had told them

00:31:50.710 --> 00:31:53.569
that he would meet them at the vault. The rest

00:31:53.569 --> 00:31:56.250
get away, and they end up in this destroyed town,

00:31:56.369 --> 00:31:59.349
and this is where they're going to camp out for

00:31:59.349 --> 00:32:02.759
the night. Tanis puts together the two keys and

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.140
it creates this map that shows a phoenix, which

00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:10.000
is the god that protects the planet, and also

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.259
where the vault should be. So Lilith recognizes

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:15.200
it and knows where they're going to go and everything

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:18.559
like that. Lilith also says to Tanis, like, okay,

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:21.240
where do we get the third key? And Tanis goes,

00:32:21.480 --> 00:32:24.039
the girl is the third key. I don't know what's

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:26.180
going to happen to her. And Lilith's just kind

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:27.720
of like, you're just going to let her die for,

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.909
like, treasure and everything like that? and

00:32:30.909 --> 00:32:33.069
Tanis is basically like, I don't know what else

00:32:33.069 --> 00:32:35.170
to do. Everybody's trying to get this vault.

00:32:35.269 --> 00:32:36.809
They're going to use her one way or the other.

00:32:37.410 --> 00:32:39.690
Lilith, of course, isn't happy with that answer,

00:32:39.809 --> 00:32:43.289
and so she walks away from the group while they're

00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:46.029
all getting ready to camp for the night. She

00:32:46.029 --> 00:32:50.490
had a beacon that she was supposed to press when

00:32:50.490 --> 00:32:53.930
she found the girl, so Atlas and his Lance soldiers

00:32:53.930 --> 00:32:57.609
could find the girl and take her, and then Lilith

00:32:57.609 --> 00:32:59.940
would get paid all this money. Lilith is full

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:02.359
send now, and she decides she's going to smash

00:33:02.359 --> 00:33:05.660
the beacon. So she smashes it, and all of a sudden

00:33:05.660 --> 00:33:09.759
this thing comes in. It's a little drone kind

00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:15.380
of flying thing, and Atlas appears in an R2 -D2

00:33:15.380 --> 00:33:20.000
-esque projector screen thing. Basically, it

00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.859
wasn't a beacon. It was a tracker to watch where

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:24.500
they're going and everything like that so he

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:27.160
could figure out when they had the keys, everything

00:33:27.160 --> 00:33:31.730
like that. Even though I think that Lilith was

00:33:31.730 --> 00:33:35.089
not going to turn her in, she says she was. And

00:33:35.089 --> 00:33:37.670
I think it's just she was saying whatever to

00:33:37.670 --> 00:33:39.910
get out of that situation where it's like, I

00:33:39.910 --> 00:33:42.190
just I'll tell you what you want to hear kind

00:33:42.190 --> 00:33:46.750
of thing. But of course, because it's a movie

00:33:46.750 --> 00:33:49.650
and movies have to movie, Tina sneaks around

00:33:49.650 --> 00:33:55.289
and heard it and basically is hurt that she thinks

00:33:55.289 --> 00:33:57.589
Lilith is going to turn her in. Even though,

00:33:57.589 --> 00:33:59.990
again, like I said, I don't think she actually

00:33:59.990 --> 00:34:02.509
was. I think she was just saying what she could

00:34:02.509 --> 00:34:06.210
to get out of that situation. Well, Tina, of

00:34:06.210 --> 00:34:08.349
course, because she needs to react this way,

00:34:08.510 --> 00:34:13.269
throws an explosive at Lilith. And I don't think

00:34:13.269 --> 00:34:16.550
it's to kill her, but maybe it is. And it knocks

00:34:16.550 --> 00:34:21.710
her out. And she's unconscious for a while. It's

00:34:21.710 --> 00:34:24.190
the next day when Lilith wakes up because there's

00:34:24.190 --> 00:34:26.590
light shining and everything like that. The rest

00:34:26.590 --> 00:34:29.730
of the group is gone except for Claptrap, who

00:34:29.730 --> 00:34:32.030
is celebrating because he thinks that Lilith

00:34:32.030 --> 00:34:34.210
is dead and he no longer has to follow her around.

00:34:34.250 --> 00:34:37.809
And he's so excited and then realizes she's still

00:34:37.809 --> 00:34:43.650
alive. Damn it. So you think that at this point,

00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:45.710
Lilith and Claptrap are going to go to the vault

00:34:45.710 --> 00:34:49.050
right away because they know that that's where

00:34:49.050 --> 00:34:52.699
the group is going. You think, right? No, they

00:34:52.699 --> 00:34:55.019
decide they're just going to walk the town, this

00:34:55.019 --> 00:35:00.519
abandoned town, and Lilith doesn't seem to recognize

00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.599
that it's her own town that she was born in.

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:07.159
She says she doesn't know her mother very much

00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.900
because she was eight when she died. I don't

00:35:10.900 --> 00:35:12.940
have the best memories from when I was eight.

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.079
I don't remember every last thing that happened,

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:17.980
but I think I would remember my town or what

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:22.980
my house looked like or that. I would even remember

00:35:22.980 --> 00:35:26.059
my mother. I think I would at that point. I don't

00:35:26.059 --> 00:35:27.820
know. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know anything

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:29.880
about the human memory. I'm a guy who watches

00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.559
movies for a living and bad movies at that. So

00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.500
it's not like I know everything about the human

00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:37.019
mind and memory. But I think I would recognize

00:35:37.019 --> 00:35:40.480
my house even if it was destroyed. I'd recognize

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:43.559
something about it. She doesn't recognize it

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:47.510
at all. And then Claptrap sees a drawing. in

00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:49.650
one of the houses and all of a sudden he just

00:35:49.650 --> 00:35:53.289
like flips backwards and becomes the r2d2 projector

00:35:53.289 --> 00:35:57.769
with a message for lilith it was her mother that

00:35:57.769 --> 00:35:59.829
was telling her how special she is and that she

00:35:59.829 --> 00:36:01.590
didn't want to let her go and that she misses

00:36:01.590 --> 00:36:06.030
and loves her and that um claptrap would be waiting

00:36:06.030 --> 00:36:09.389
for her when she got to the planet and she would

00:36:09.389 --> 00:36:14.289
he would find her and take her to find her home

00:36:14.289 --> 00:36:18.889
find her belonging everything like that you know

00:36:18.889 --> 00:36:22.190
just bumbo jumbo about you belong you you're

00:36:22.190 --> 00:36:26.530
special that kind of stuff um because it happens

00:36:26.530 --> 00:36:29.090
in all of like 10 seconds it doesn't feel very

00:36:29.090 --> 00:36:32.150
emotional it doesn't feel like the turning point

00:36:32.150 --> 00:36:34.130
of the movie that i think they're trying to make

00:36:34.130 --> 00:36:38.789
it be but it gives her this little boost and

00:36:38.789 --> 00:36:41.590
she decides she's going to go and save tina after

00:36:41.590 --> 00:36:44.650
all Meanwhile, Tina is there with Tannis and

00:36:44.650 --> 00:36:48.130
Krieg and they have found the vault entrance.

00:36:48.610 --> 00:36:51.969
Krieg actually does. And after a while of them

00:36:51.969 --> 00:36:54.690
not listening to him, he finally like smashes

00:36:54.690 --> 00:36:56.389
something and goes, this is where it is. You

00:36:56.389 --> 00:36:58.789
know, like, haha, this is funny because they

00:36:58.789 --> 00:37:00.750
weren't listening to him about the vault, but

00:37:00.750 --> 00:37:04.590
he knew where the vault was. Again, the humor

00:37:04.590 --> 00:37:08.889
in this movie is not great. So Tannis gives the

00:37:08.889 --> 00:37:13.920
two keys together. to tina she places them where

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:16.119
they're supposed to go and it creates like these

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:21.619
footsteps like footprint spots that the child

00:37:21.619 --> 00:37:24.679
of the iridium needs to stand on in order to

00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:31.539
open the vault so tina does so and this is finally

00:37:31.539 --> 00:37:33.340
it this is the moment she knows she's special

00:37:33.340 --> 00:37:35.019
this is finally the moment where it's going to

00:37:35.019 --> 00:37:37.599
be like great i stepped here i opened the vault

00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:41.940
i am the special one Unfortunately, the vault

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:46.400
does not open. And Tina is very disappointed.

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:52.420
You can see it in her face that she just realizes

00:37:52.420 --> 00:37:54.360
she's not as special as she thought she was.

00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:59.119
And then, to make matters worse, Atlas and their

00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:04.880
army show up. And Atlas is happy they found the

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.719
two keys, happy they found the vault, but...

00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:11.099
also realizes he has to go back to the drawing

00:38:11.099 --> 00:38:16.659
board. So he tells Knox, the leader of his army,

00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:20.119
she needs to collect the child, not kill her,

00:38:20.300 --> 00:38:23.340
and scrape her organs because we're going to

00:38:23.340 --> 00:38:26.039
start from scratch again with her iridium blood

00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:29.000
to make another clone. Basically, at this point,

00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:32.159
not so fast because Roland shows up and is there

00:38:32.159 --> 00:38:36.360
to help protect them. And this is one of the

00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:40.909
things that bugs me about this movie. Nobody

00:38:40.909 --> 00:38:43.170
knows where this vault is. They have an idea

00:38:43.170 --> 00:38:44.969
where it is, but they don't actually know where

00:38:44.969 --> 00:38:48.030
it is. When they put the two keys together, they

00:38:48.030 --> 00:38:51.050
got a map and they got to see where it was. Except

00:38:51.050 --> 00:38:56.929
for one big piece of movie plot that plot hole

00:38:56.929 --> 00:39:00.570
is what I'll say. One big plot hole. When they

00:39:00.570 --> 00:39:03.789
found that those keys put them together and saw

00:39:03.789 --> 00:39:06.429
where the treasure and vault were supposed to

00:39:06.429 --> 00:39:10.179
be. Roland was in the tube shooting at all these

00:39:10.179 --> 00:39:13.079
blood spots. He didn't see this map ever and

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:15.280
he just knows exactly where to show up. He just

00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.920
shows up and he's there and just so happens to

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:22.139
be on time to try to protect Tina. Also, him

00:39:22.139 --> 00:39:25.679
and Knox had some kind of like former chemistry,

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:29.519
that kind of thing. Well, Knox, who sees that

00:39:29.519 --> 00:39:31.460
Roland is willing to put his life on the line

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:34.099
for this little girl, basically says she doesn't

00:39:34.099 --> 00:39:36.059
want to kill the kid. So she stands with the

00:39:36.059 --> 00:39:38.389
crew as well. And you're expecting this big showdown.

00:39:39.170 --> 00:39:42.829
Well, Atlas vaporizes her immediately. Nox, gone.

00:39:43.110 --> 00:39:47.710
See ya. We don't need you anymore. They see those

00:39:47.710 --> 00:39:49.909
guns and they're a little more like, oh, we're

00:39:49.909 --> 00:39:53.269
outmatched. We're in trouble. But guess who shows

00:39:53.269 --> 00:39:57.170
up? Lilith and Claptrap. Yay! They have two more

00:39:57.170 --> 00:39:59.590
people to help them against this army. This should

00:39:59.590 --> 00:40:03.889
help, right? Basically, Lilith says to Atlas

00:40:03.889 --> 00:40:07.159
that she can get him in the vault. He just needs

00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:11.380
to let them go. That's all he wants. And Atlas

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:13.420
says, done. If you can get me in the vault, fine.

00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:20.360
So Lilith goes, puts the key down and steps on

00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:24.699
the two foot pads. And all of a sudden things

00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:29.260
start happening. And she becomes the goddess

00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:33.820
protector of the planet. She has like these glowy

00:40:33.820 --> 00:40:38.769
light. wings and she can shoot like light phasers

00:40:38.769 --> 00:40:41.730
and everything like that it's very like captain

00:40:41.730 --> 00:40:44.650
marvel -esque in that just to give you an idea

00:40:44.650 --> 00:40:48.269
of like this light power kind of thing um and

00:40:48.269 --> 00:40:50.610
so at this point i've called her bird person

00:40:50.610 --> 00:40:56.530
essentially um she is able to get the vault arch

00:40:56.530 --> 00:40:59.630
open she doesn't exactly open the vault but she

00:40:59.630 --> 00:41:02.570
gets the arch open that she can open and like

00:41:02.570 --> 00:41:07.179
get them through But for now, she instead decides

00:41:07.179 --> 00:41:08.920
that she's going to fight this army and try to

00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:12.539
like knock it down. And she's able to like send

00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:16.699
these light beams to protect her friends in this

00:41:16.699 --> 00:41:20.059
like light force field kind of thing. So like

00:41:20.059 --> 00:41:21.960
Roland's able to shoot through it, but they can't

00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.179
shoot him. Tina is able. She's like floating

00:41:25.179 --> 00:41:27.900
and she's able to toss these bombs and like kill

00:41:27.900 --> 00:41:30.780
a bunch of them. Krieg is going nuts and fighting

00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:32.719
this one that kind of looks like Batman only

00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:36.030
on like. 50 million different steroids it's like

00:41:36.030 --> 00:41:39.489
a bane batman hybrid and at first one of the

00:41:39.489 --> 00:41:42.650
things um i forgot that tina was just like i'm

00:41:42.650 --> 00:41:45.449
not special when she saw that lilith was able

00:41:45.449 --> 00:41:48.090
to like open the vault and everything like that

00:41:48.090 --> 00:41:51.230
and she looks at tina and goes tina you are special

00:41:51.230 --> 00:41:53.590
just not in the way you thought and you know

00:41:53.590 --> 00:41:56.150
it's the it's a team boost it feels good yes

00:41:56.150 --> 00:41:58.670
oh friendship that kind of thing we've got the

00:41:58.670 --> 00:42:00.630
power of friendship we can take down everything

00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.260
um like i said i called her bird person at this

00:42:04.260 --> 00:42:06.019
point because that's what she kind of looked

00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:10.780
like and then um atlas has like this ship that's

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:15.199
firing lasers at this is what he killed nox with

00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:21.260
lilith gets downed by these things but she's

00:42:21.260 --> 00:42:23.320
able to get back up so that's when i'm like it's

00:42:23.320 --> 00:42:27.230
phoenix person Uh, just cause I knew that it

00:42:27.230 --> 00:42:28.630
was going to come to something like that where

00:42:28.630 --> 00:42:31.590
she gets downed and like you're the Batman creature

00:42:31.590 --> 00:42:34.869
is winning the battle against Krieg breaks half

00:42:34.869 --> 00:42:37.309
his mask. So you see kind of part of his eye.

00:42:38.090 --> 00:42:43.849
And so when she's downed, Atlas is able to grab

00:42:43.849 --> 00:42:47.170
Tina and like hold her at like knife point. And

00:42:47.170 --> 00:42:50.610
he also has like these deflector shield things.

00:42:54.880 --> 00:43:00.760
And like take him out. And save Tina. So. Atlas

00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:02.900
is just like no. You need to open the vault.

00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:07.460
And you need to. Get me what's inside of there.

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:12.679
Otherwise Tina dies. And so. Lilith opens the

00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:14.659
vault. The army stopped fighting. Everything

00:43:14.659 --> 00:43:18.500
like that. Lilith opens the vault. Takes Tina

00:43:18.500 --> 00:43:21.719
Atlas and herself inside. And basically it's

00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:23.960
like this black chasm. It's not really like a.

00:43:24.329 --> 00:43:27.230
treasure vault in my mind. There's like floaty

00:43:27.230 --> 00:43:29.130
things that are kind of like grayish silvery,

00:43:29.269 --> 00:43:32.429
but there's nothing really in it. It's just like

00:43:32.429 --> 00:43:36.170
this expanse and everything like that. But Atlas

00:43:36.170 --> 00:43:38.769
is convinced it's going to give him this power

00:43:38.769 --> 00:43:42.670
and everything that he has this vault open. When

00:43:42.670 --> 00:43:45.989
in the vault, Lilith is able to disappear and

00:43:45.989 --> 00:43:47.769
kind of go back and forth and everything like

00:43:47.769 --> 00:43:50.630
that. So she's there, but she can't be seen.

00:43:51.309 --> 00:43:54.690
and she sneaks behind and like grabs the deflector

00:43:54.690 --> 00:43:57.510
shield thing from atlas and then finally like

00:43:57.510 --> 00:44:00.449
shows herself in front of him and just kind of

00:44:00.449 --> 00:44:03.769
like you know okay atlas you won you've got the

00:44:03.769 --> 00:44:05.869
vault and everything and then reveals it and

00:44:05.869 --> 00:44:08.610
it's like are you missing something and tina

00:44:08.610 --> 00:44:11.349
is able to like kick and get away from him and

00:44:11.349 --> 00:44:14.769
she sends him flying in the vault and it just

00:44:14.769 --> 00:44:16.889
so happens that happens to be guarded by these

00:44:16.889 --> 00:44:20.329
threshers and so this thresher is like grabbing

00:44:20.329 --> 00:44:24.389
him And he's just like, but what about the vault?

00:44:24.489 --> 00:44:27.650
What about the power inside? And Lilith says,

00:44:27.949 --> 00:44:31.289
that's the problem, Atlas. You like excess when

00:44:31.289 --> 00:44:33.550
really you should just be happy with enough.

00:44:33.730 --> 00:44:36.190
And her and Tina walk out of the vault. The door

00:44:36.190 --> 00:44:40.309
closes and you see Atlas kind of being taken

00:44:40.309 --> 00:44:44.929
under by the Thresher. So he's dead. And Lilith

00:44:44.929 --> 00:44:48.090
is a Phoenix person. That doesn't go away just

00:44:48.090 --> 00:44:50.820
because she. open the vault and now it's gone

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:52.860
and everything like that she remains a phoenix

00:44:52.860 --> 00:44:57.519
person including the planet basically she does

00:44:57.519 --> 00:44:59.960
they they start clearing the planet of like the

00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:01.820
psychos and stuff and gain their planet back

00:45:01.820 --> 00:45:05.340
and it's a town of peace now you know like sanctuary

00:45:05.340 --> 00:45:08.500
city is peaceful and they have fireworks and

00:45:08.500 --> 00:45:12.000
the end of the movie lilith launches herself

00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.980
into the sky and like explodes as a firework

00:45:14.980 --> 00:45:18.059
of the phoenix and that's it That is the end

00:45:18.059 --> 00:45:23.619
of Borderlands. And hopefully the series. Because

00:45:23.619 --> 00:45:26.480
I'm sure they probably left themselves out somehow

00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:31.119
to make another movie eventually. And God, I

00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:34.340
hope not. I just, I really hope not. Because,

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:39.960
like I said at the beginning of this, I think

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:45.880
5 % is cruel. I think 5 % is a little low. to

00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:51.400
be about this movie it's not good and that is

00:45:51.400 --> 00:45:53.780
the thing i'll say that this is not a good movie

00:45:53.780 --> 00:45:56.159
i'm not recommending it for anybody i wrote a

00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:59.159
review and gave it um because you can only do

00:45:59.159 --> 00:46:03.800
half or one star i gave it one star um my rating

00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:09.760
probably probably out of five would be that like

00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:15.699
one star or one um one thresher piss ball out

00:46:15.699 --> 00:46:18.599
of five um that seems like the best way i can

00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:24.960
describe it because it the cast is incredible

00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:28.760
but they have no chemistry with each other and

00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.320
a lot of the times they seem like they're walking

00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:34.019
through it one of the things i think they actually

00:46:34.019 --> 00:46:36.639
did well was the fact that kevin hart wasn't

00:46:36.639 --> 00:46:41.119
his kevin hardiest um but it also makes it kind

00:46:41.119 --> 00:46:43.699
of bland for roland I think he could have been

00:46:43.699 --> 00:46:47.800
a lot more. I don't know. With the right casting,

00:46:47.860 --> 00:46:49.119
I think he could have definitely been better.

00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:50.900
I don't think Kevin Hart was the right casting

00:46:50.900 --> 00:46:54.000
at all because I think Roland could have been

00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:55.980
the right amount of funny, the right amount of

00:46:55.980 --> 00:46:58.780
heroic, the right amount of whatever with him.

00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:02.539
With Kevin Hart, you never felt the heroism.

00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:06.860
And because he's not being like Kevin Hart goofy

00:47:06.860 --> 00:47:10.400
and. jokey haha and everything like that you

00:47:10.400 --> 00:47:12.320
also are kind of losing a lot of the character

00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:16.000
because he's just not he's that's not his strength

00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.260
is what I'll say and it's not anything about

00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:21.300
Kevin Hart he's done some movies that I've enjoyed

00:47:21.300 --> 00:47:23.280
him in he's done some movies I've hated him in

00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.880
it's not his fault in this situation because

00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:27.880
he definitely saw this movie and thought this

00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:29.639
is a great thing for me to star in that kind

00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:33.179
of thing but it just wasn't his strength it wasn't

00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:37.719
his his good role for him I've already talked

00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:39.360
about Jamie Lee Curtis. I don't think she needed

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:43.320
to be in this at all. I think Tanis as a character

00:47:43.320 --> 00:47:46.840
could have probably been forgotten because she

00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:48.800
was truly on the back burner for a lot of it.

00:47:48.860 --> 00:47:51.119
For more than half the movie, she wasn't even

00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.099
in it. And then the other half, she was just

00:47:54.099 --> 00:47:56.340
doing things like fixing the wiring or putting

00:47:56.340 --> 00:47:59.539
the keys together. And I think you could have

00:47:59.539 --> 00:48:01.539
easily done that with one of the other characters

00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:03.440
already established. I feel like she was definitely

00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:05.420
an afterthought and they just needed to get her

00:48:05.420 --> 00:48:11.820
involved somehow. the chemistry between Lilith

00:48:11.820 --> 00:48:16.039
and Tina was all right. I think that was probably

00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:18.260
one of the better parts of the chemistry for

00:48:18.260 --> 00:48:23.599
the team. And if that, that was supposed to be

00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:26.440
the drawing effect of it, the drawing charm,

00:48:26.639 --> 00:48:29.980
everything like that. So as much as I say, that's

00:48:29.980 --> 00:48:34.789
probably the better of the chemistries. that

00:48:34.789 --> 00:48:37.869
doesn't mean necessarily that it was great i

00:48:37.869 --> 00:48:40.150
i think they definitely had some moments that

00:48:40.150 --> 00:48:41.949
was like great and then some moments where it's

00:48:41.949 --> 00:48:44.670
just like why why are you doing this you you

00:48:44.670 --> 00:48:46.630
don't even seem to like each other so why are

00:48:46.630 --> 00:48:48.710
you doing this and especially the part where

00:48:48.710 --> 00:48:51.710
tina feels like she's being betrayed by lilith

00:48:51.710 --> 00:48:58.849
tina has shown that she didn't really act on

00:48:58.849 --> 00:49:01.829
impulse for some of this stuff some of it definitely

00:49:01.829 --> 00:49:03.630
i mean she's a kid she's going to act on impulse

00:49:04.380 --> 00:49:06.840
I think in that situation, she wouldn't have

00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:09.340
acted an impulse. She wouldn't have tried to

00:49:09.340 --> 00:49:11.920
blow up Lilith. I think she would have tried

00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.039
to talk to her, maybe, and they could have had

00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:16.619
a conversation where she said, even, I'm just

00:49:16.619 --> 00:49:18.739
telling him what he wants to hear. I want to

00:49:18.739 --> 00:49:20.840
help you. I want to get to the vault. You are

00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:25.340
special to me. That kind of thing. Maybe I'm

00:49:25.340 --> 00:49:26.860
wrong, and maybe I'm reading into this movie,

00:49:26.980 --> 00:49:30.639
because, truthfully, I feel like I'm at a high

00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:33.880
school reading level of a... first grade writing

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:36.940
project you know like i'm trying to read into

00:49:36.940 --> 00:49:39.500
this and see like oh the door is blue because

00:49:39.500 --> 00:49:42.059
of sadness and the feelings he's feeling no the

00:49:42.059 --> 00:49:43.619
door was just blue because i made it fucking

00:49:43.619 --> 00:49:47.460
blue um that that's what it feels like this movie

00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:49.579
it feels like it thinks it's smarter than it

00:49:49.579 --> 00:49:52.239
is but it feels as well like it's written at

00:49:52.239 --> 00:49:54.980
an elementary school level i would be intrigued

00:49:54.980 --> 00:49:57.320
to read the first script that everybody was going

00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:00.130
bananas for I think this is definitely a lot

00:50:00.130 --> 00:50:02.010
of studio interference. I think this is definitely

00:50:02.010 --> 00:50:06.389
a lot of Eli Roth. The fact that the one guy

00:50:06.389 --> 00:50:09.369
asked for his name to be taken off the script

00:50:09.369 --> 00:50:13.369
says a lot to me. At the end of the day, he didn't

00:50:13.369 --> 00:50:15.170
feel like enough of his script was in there to

00:50:15.170 --> 00:50:17.809
even warrant leaving his name on for the eighth

00:50:17.809 --> 00:50:22.710
of a percent of what was maybe left over. That's

00:50:22.710 --> 00:50:24.989
what's crazy to me with some of this stuff is.

00:50:26.409 --> 00:50:29.550
At the end of the day, you have not only one,

00:50:29.650 --> 00:50:34.070
but three pretty great games to build lore off

00:50:34.070 --> 00:50:38.150
of, to use, and to create a fun story. And I

00:50:38.150 --> 00:50:41.349
don't think they did that. I think this was a

00:50:41.349 --> 00:50:44.210
very basic understanding of the characters. And

00:50:44.210 --> 00:50:48.010
again, I didn't play these games. I know enough

00:50:48.010 --> 00:50:50.750
about them, but I didn't play these games. So

00:50:50.750 --> 00:50:53.570
I'm like speaking of these characters as if I

00:50:53.570 --> 00:50:59.460
know them pretty well. I think I know these characters

00:50:59.460 --> 00:51:02.260
well enough to know that they weren't done right

00:51:02.260 --> 00:51:10.320
by this movie. And I wish that somebody would

00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:12.519
have taken more time to flesh out these characters

00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.719
or whatever. And that's the problem too. Especially

00:51:15.719 --> 00:51:20.920
the end. I feel like we got to the end. We got

00:51:20.920 --> 00:51:24.179
to the vault. And I think in the games themselves,

00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.739
it's a long journey. That's what's tough about

00:51:27.739 --> 00:51:30.179
adapting a video game to a movie is you're trying

00:51:30.179 --> 00:51:33.699
to squeeze in these two hours. That's not what's

00:51:33.699 --> 00:51:36.900
going to happen with a movie like this. You have

00:51:36.900 --> 00:51:39.900
to establish the characters, and maybe you could

00:51:39.900 --> 00:51:42.340
have split it up a little more. I hate that idea

00:51:42.340 --> 00:51:45.059
of we're going to make three movies out of the

00:51:45.059 --> 00:51:48.780
Hobbit book, but with something like this, I

00:51:48.780 --> 00:51:50.380
think you could have expanded on it a little

00:51:50.380 --> 00:51:52.980
more and made it a little more fun, given the

00:51:52.980 --> 00:51:55.539
characters a little more depth. And just made

00:51:55.539 --> 00:51:58.659
it a little more bombastic and fun. That's another

00:51:58.659 --> 00:52:00.719
issue I had with this movie. I don't think any

00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:03.280
of it was bombastic and fun. I think the one

00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.940
mind scene where they're going off and shooting

00:52:05.940 --> 00:52:08.699
all the blood spots was the one time they could

00:52:08.699 --> 00:52:13.519
have gone a little crazier. And Jill said it

00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:16.059
in our discussion best that it feels like Diet

00:52:16.059 --> 00:52:18.840
Guardians of the Galaxy. But Guardians of the

00:52:18.840 --> 00:52:23.420
Galaxy found fun ways to do color or music and

00:52:23.420 --> 00:52:26.769
that kind of thing. into the storyline to make

00:52:26.769 --> 00:52:28.929
the battles a little more fun when they're actually

00:52:28.929 --> 00:52:31.989
having these battles. I feel like that mind scene,

00:52:32.050 --> 00:52:35.690
they could have done a lot more fun with it and

00:52:35.690 --> 00:52:38.829
made it stand out a little more. I will say,

00:52:38.829 --> 00:52:42.369
however, bringing up sound design, this soundtrack

00:52:42.369 --> 00:52:45.570
was very good. I did enjoy the soundtrack a lot.

00:52:45.610 --> 00:52:47.550
I would probably listen to the soundtrack again.

00:52:47.849 --> 00:52:50.469
So I would give the movie one star, but I'd give

00:52:50.469 --> 00:52:53.570
the soundtrack probably a four or five. They

00:52:53.570 --> 00:52:55.989
definitely had some good hits that I was a big

00:52:55.989 --> 00:52:59.010
fan of, including closing in a Black Keys song.

00:52:59.150 --> 00:53:02.070
I'm a big Black Keys fan. So even more so, I

00:53:02.070 --> 00:53:05.210
was very happy for that. And that kind of felt

00:53:05.210 --> 00:53:06.909
like the reward at the end of this movie where

00:53:06.909 --> 00:53:09.230
it was like, oh, God, it's finally over. And

00:53:09.230 --> 00:53:11.670
we get a Black Keys song. This is amazing. Oh,

00:53:11.710 --> 00:53:17.610
my God. I'm so happy. So, yeah. Ways I would

00:53:17.610 --> 00:53:18.989
have fixed this movie, I would have made the

00:53:18.989 --> 00:53:20.730
characters. I would have given them more depth.

00:53:20.869 --> 00:53:23.300
I would have made some of the characters. Either

00:53:23.300 --> 00:53:25.079
I would have taken them out or I would have tried

00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:26.659
to give them more to do. Because a lot of these

00:53:26.659 --> 00:53:28.280
characters felt like they just didn't have a

00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:30.840
lot to do. You made the main character Lilith.

00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:34.780
And though she has some good moments and everything

00:53:34.780 --> 00:53:37.739
like that, I think each of these characters should

00:53:37.739 --> 00:53:41.239
have had more moments individually. Because I

00:53:41.239 --> 00:53:43.159
feel like all of the moments were on Lilith's

00:53:43.159 --> 00:53:45.659
side, not on anybody else's side, except for

00:53:45.659 --> 00:53:48.760
the one Tina where she's like, I'm not special.

00:53:50.010 --> 00:53:52.230
We get that moment of, no, you are special, just

00:53:52.230 --> 00:53:54.510
not in the way you thought. I think that was

00:53:54.510 --> 00:53:57.949
a good moment that could have been better, too.

00:53:58.750 --> 00:54:01.429
I don't think they laid that out perfectly, but

00:54:01.429 --> 00:54:03.789
I do think that was a better part than I thought

00:54:03.789 --> 00:54:06.289
it would be. But all of the moments seemed to

00:54:06.289 --> 00:54:09.449
happen to Lilith, and we never had any growth

00:54:09.449 --> 00:54:12.090
from anybody else because we didn't see much

00:54:12.090 --> 00:54:15.590
of anything from anybody else. So I would have...

00:54:15.869 --> 00:54:18.010
Giving more moments to characters to flesh them

00:54:18.010 --> 00:54:19.909
out a little more or something to do or getting

00:54:19.909 --> 00:54:22.190
rid of some of the characters when they just

00:54:22.190 --> 00:54:24.909
didn't have anything to do. I would have made

00:54:24.909 --> 00:54:26.929
it more fun, tried to make the battle scene stand

00:54:26.929 --> 00:54:29.230
out a little more and not just be, okay, we're

00:54:29.230 --> 00:54:33.010
firing a bunch of bullets at some unnamed army

00:54:33.010 --> 00:54:37.289
people, you know. Giving each character to kind

00:54:37.289 --> 00:54:39.070
of shine in their battle and everything like

00:54:39.070 --> 00:54:41.489
that. I think that would have been fun. And then,

00:54:41.570 --> 00:54:45.420
truthfully, once we got to the vault. we wrapped

00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:48.059
it up in like five minutes. Like it was a quick

00:54:48.059 --> 00:54:51.480
wrap up where it was cool. We're going to have

00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:53.900
this big showdown with Atlas and these army people

00:54:53.900 --> 00:54:56.179
and everything like that. It's a few pew, pew,

00:54:56.199 --> 00:54:59.440
pews, few Phoenix person stuff. And then finally,

00:54:59.440 --> 00:55:03.019
when it was just Atlas, Lilith and Tina, they

00:55:03.019 --> 00:55:05.079
were able to dispatch them really quickly and

00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:08.519
kick them to a thresher of all things to destroy

00:55:08.519 --> 00:55:13.829
him. Uh, plus it wasn't handsome Jack. And that's

00:55:13.829 --> 00:55:16.090
another thing we want in these games and this

00:55:16.090 --> 00:55:18.409
movie. I think all of this should be building,

00:55:18.510 --> 00:55:22.989
even if it wasn't in the first one, even if it

00:55:22.989 --> 00:55:26.690
wasn't in the first one, I think that they should

00:55:26.690 --> 00:55:29.969
have at least given some kind of hint that Handsome

00:55:29.969 --> 00:55:34.230
Jack was around or even just a throwaway, like,

00:55:34.230 --> 00:55:36.769
wanted poster with Handsome Jack or something

00:55:36.769 --> 00:55:41.730
fun. I don't know. But that's what it comes down

00:55:41.730 --> 00:55:47.250
to. That's what it is. So yeah, Borderlands.

00:55:50.349 --> 00:55:54.550
Not very good. Again, I think that 5%, 8 % is

00:55:54.550 --> 00:55:56.710
a little harsh. I would give it more like a 30

00:55:56.710 --> 00:56:01.349
to 32 range. But overall, I still think this

00:56:01.349 --> 00:56:04.809
was a bad movie and I still count it as a bad

00:56:04.809 --> 00:56:07.619
movie even though some of the positive... reviews

00:56:07.619 --> 00:56:10.300
on Rotten Tomatoes are making it above a 40 %

00:56:10.300 --> 00:56:12.579
for the audience score. I still think that's

00:56:12.579 --> 00:56:16.119
way too high. So yeah, that was Borderlands.

00:56:17.739 --> 00:56:20.719
Don't go see this movie. Don't do it. Especially

00:56:20.719 --> 00:56:22.420
if you're a fan of the games and everything like

00:56:22.420 --> 00:56:26.260
that. Don't waste time on this. Don't ruin your

00:56:26.260 --> 00:56:30.900
expectations of this. I was kind of excited about

00:56:30.900 --> 00:56:33.119
it when I saw they announced it, but then seeing

00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:37.469
who was landed to direct it, And then some of

00:56:37.469 --> 00:56:38.949
the names of the people that were going to be

00:56:38.949 --> 00:56:42.929
in it. I was kind of, huh, are we sure? Does

00:56:42.929 --> 00:56:46.030
that really make sense? But here we are. They

00:56:46.030 --> 00:56:50.010
released the movie. It happened. And yeah, it's

00:56:50.010 --> 00:56:53.909
a one Thresher piss bomb out of five for me.

00:56:55.070 --> 00:56:58.190
So, well, that'll do it for this episode of Game

00:56:58.190 --> 00:56:59.989
for a Movie, where we ask, are you game for a

00:56:59.989 --> 00:57:03.460
movie? If you have some bad movies you think

00:57:03.460 --> 00:57:05.300
we should cover on the show, please feel free

00:57:05.300 --> 00:57:07.840
to reach out to us at GameForAMovie on X and

00:57:07.840 --> 00:57:11.960
Instagram and TikTok. I will say no longer on

00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:15.139
Facebook as much. But yeah, that's what happens,

00:57:15.199 --> 00:57:18.260
you know. Thank you guys very much for listening.

00:57:18.420 --> 00:57:20.579
And we will see you next time on GameForAMovie.
