The Borderlands movie has received a lot of negative feedback, with many people calling it “lifeless”, “obnoxious”, and “baffling”. The Rotten Tomatoes score only recently increased from 0% to 3%, showing just how poorly it has been received. Additionally, there is now controversy surrounding the lack of credit given to key production staff, particularly Robbie Reid, who worked on rigging the Claptrap model for five months.
Robbie Reid, also known as “Robbie Reid the Rigger”, expressed disappointment that neither he nor the artist he worked with received credit for their work on Claptrap in the movie. Despite their efforts in creating a crucial element of the character, their names were not listed in the credits. Reid mentioned that this was the first time he had experienced such a situation, making it even more disheartening.
Although the Borderlands movie boasts a star-studded cast including Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Cate Blanchett, the negative reception and now the credit controversy have overshadowed the film’s potential success. Blanchett even joked that she took the role out of “covid madness” after spending time gardening. The situation has raised questions about the industry’s treatment of behind-the-scenes talent and the importance of recognizing their contributions.
The overall response to the Borderlands movie has been mixed, with many eagerly awaiting reviews from sources like PC Gamer to see if the film truly lives up to the hype. As the controversy continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those working in the entertainment industry and the need for proper recognition of their efforts.
