Apologies that this is not a pure gaming question, but I'd really like to hear people's opinion on the Borderlands movie trailer and especially from people who have played the games. That's why I'm asking here, I hope that's ok.

I'm surprised about the cast. I like most of them in other films, but in this trailer, I can't really explain, but it feels off.

The actors don't look like they're having fun. I commented in another thread that they seem to be attempting to make a Guardians of the Galaxy style movie, but chemistry between the actors and director were critical for those movies.

This is what happens when you have some combination of bad casting, a bad script, and bad direction. Even good actors have a hard time producing good work in a bad environment.

("bad casting" in this case meaning "casting an actor who isn't well suited to the role")
