Mod stepping in. I'm suspecting the account you were talking to be a troll evading ban, as that account was only 5 hours old. I banned them for 3 days, sorry for that.

BORDERLANDS - Review Thread * [Rotten Tomatoes](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/borderlands): 4% (25 Reviews) * [Metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/movie/borderlands/): 32 (20 Reviews) Reviews: [Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-kevin-hart-eli-roth-1235966400/) (30/100): >It’s conceivable that longtime fans of the video game might get more out of *Borderlands*, but I wouldn’t count on it. At one point, Claptrap returns to operational mode after a heavy-weaponry assault and says, “I blacked out. Did something important happen?” Not in this movie. [Variety](https://variety.com/2024/film/reviews/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-eli-roth-1236098894/) (40/100): >Marketed to look like a cross between “Suicide Squad” and a Zack Snyder movie, director Eli Roth’s tamer-than-expected take on “Borderlands” doesn’t have half the attitude or style its cyberpunk ad campaign might suggest. But here’s the real reason why fans of the game will be disappointed: It’s predictable, therefore nullifying the whole “What’ll it be?” appeal of loot. [SlashFilm](https://www.slashfilm.com/1638717/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-cant-bring-video-game-movie-to-life/) (4/10): >Borderlands makes a point of not being different enough to upset the fanbase, but it's also not unique enough to win over new audiences, either. It's a movie for everyone and no one, a film so unwilling to make a splash that it barely makes a peep. [IndieWire](https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-eli-roth-1235033545/) (42/100): >If granted permission to bring his signature sadism to these infamously batshit characters, Roth could have delivered his “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Instead, restricted by standards that seem equally unlikely to please preteens, he was left holding a bomb. [Empire](https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/borderlands/) (2/5): >A botched Guardians wannabe that isn’t half as fun as you’d hope from the punky sci-fi promise of its video-game source material and the presence of Blanchett at the top of the cast list. [IGN](https://www.ign.com/articles/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-kevin-hart-jack-black) (3/10): >Borderlands is a catastrophic disappointment that plays like hacked-to-pieces studio slop, betraying everything fans adore about Gearbox Software’s franchise in derivative, regrettable taste. [Rolling Stone](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/borderlands-review-cate-blanchett-1235070586/): >Borderlands Is an Insult to Gamers, Movie Lovers and Carbon-Based Lifeforms. We'd say it's the worst video game movie ever — but that's way too limiting [Collider](https://collider.com/borderlands-movie-review/) (5/10): >'Borderlands' is a fun ride, but a bloated cast and breakneck pacing don’t allow it to reach its full potential. [BleedingCool](https://bleedingcool.com/movies/borderlands-review-imax-action-karen/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter) (5/10): >I don't think I have ever watched quite so gossamer-thin a movie and yet been so entertained throughout as with Borderlands. There really is nothing to this film. No emotional depths, stakes, or convoluted plot worth speaking of. [TotalFilm](https://www.gamesradar.com/entertainment/action-movies/borderlands-review/) (40/100): >The Gearbox title gamers loved has spawned a frenetic and disorderly shambles they’re likelier to loathe. Claptrap? You said it. [The NY Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/08/movies/borderlands-review.html) (40/100): >You can see the jokes, but most of them don’t land. Still, there is some neat design work if you squint. [GameSpot](https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/borderlands-movie-review-generic-and-disposable/1900-6418265/) (2/10): >Borderlands comes in at a very brief 102 minutes in length, which you might be tempted to reflexively celebrate in our current landscape of hella long movies. But there's a reason longer movies are en vogue--more time allows for more depth, and depth is what Borderlands is missing the most. But that's what happens sometimes when a movie spends four years in post-production being repeatedly reworked--over time, everything gets sanded down into nothingness. [ScreenRant](https://screenrant.com/borderlands-movie-review/) (70/100): >Blanchett knows exactly what movie she's in, and she seems to be having the time of her life fitting herself into the mold of a video game heroine. [Men's Journa](https://www.mensjournal.com/streaming/borderlands-review)l: >If Borderlands doesn't stop studio executives from salivating at the sight of every single IP that comes across their desks, nothing will. --------------------- In Theaters August 8: >Lilith, an infamous outlaw with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of the universe's most powerful S.O.B., Atlas. Lilith forms an alliance with an unexpected team — Roland, a former elite mercenary, now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina, a feral teenage demolitionist; Krieg, Tina's musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis, the scientist with a tenuous grip on sanity; and Claptrap, a persistently wiseass robot. These unlikely heroes must battle alien monsters and dangerous bandits to find and protect the missing girl, who may hold the key to unimaginable power. The fate of the universe could be in their hands but they'll be fighting for something more: each other.

On my side, things are good, as always trying to animate "casual" communities on Lemmy such as this one and the ones in the sidebar. Good to see people in this one, it's mostly a chill place

First of all, you shouldn't be mocked for this post. Some trolls might try to, but they'll get the boot quickly.
Second, sorry to hear, you seem to be in a bad situation. I'm not really aware of the social support services in Canada, maybe someone else can give some pointers to you.
Lemmy.ca might have a community where you can crosspost this, I guess they would be more aware of who could help you.

Hello,

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your work on your instance and all the integrations you did.
Regarding your criticism about this approach, I see where you come from, and I wouldn't want new communities to use it. However, for the context
- !casualconversation@lemmy.world has 6.4k subscribers, with 4.1k monthly active users, it is not a new community starting to promote itself
- We polled the community to see if they were ok with moving here from LW last week: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17963030
- This post is mostly a follow-up from a post in the original community following the poll: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/18196838
Community migrations are a sensitive topic, a lot of the mods I talk with don't want to leave Lemmy.world, even if they are now a bottleneck (technical details here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/17963030).
This migration is a test to see if migration of large communities can be done, hence this approach of making sure that the new community would be visible to the most users possible.
I hope this make our approach more reasonable, but let me know what you think.
