Cate Blanchett stars as a bounty hunter who travels to the planet Pandora to rescue a girl named Tina ( Ariana Greenblatt ) from the clutches of Roland , a Crimson Lance soldier gone rogue ( Kevin Hart ) and his psycho accomplice Krieg (Florian Munteanu ) The movie eschewed some of the typical conventions for making a video game movie.

The movie also didn’t make good use of its ensemble cast.

For all the bad decisions in Borderlands , putting Lilith at its center was by far its smartest.

The movie earned its poor reception, but for what it does with Lilith , it’s also earned my respect.
