Warning: contains spoilers so go and watch the film first. Ah, who am I kidding? If you haven't seen it, watch it so you don't have to. If you have seen it, be reminded of one of your poorer life choices, like me.

I always watch the Pitch Meeting instead of the movie for box office flops.

That and Cinimasins, both have saved me hours of my life

I used to watch Cinemasins a bunch as well but I found that they were too nitpicky and not as funny as Pitch Meeting.

I watch them both for the jokes, but yeah, Ryan wins hands down.

I know him! He's from that other YouTube channel!

Lol this movie is so bad I completely checked out while he was explaining the plot

I still can't wrap my head around it. It's not even a borderlands movie, it's a borderlands-themed movie and they just did whatever the fuck they wanted. Chatgpt could've written a better plot.

I don't understand the talent that's involved. Why in the world are Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis in it? It doesn't make any sense.

Jamie Lee Curtis as Tanis is fine. Older scientist probably fits the trope better tbh.

What WASN'T acceptable was not casting for Brick and Mordecai at all.

Right? It wasn't his fault but I just didn't care about the plot any more than the writers did.

At least The punchline was funny.
