Lilith, an infamous bounty hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home, Pandora, the most chaotic planet in the galaxy. Her mission is to find the missing daughter of Atlas, the universe's most powerful SOB. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with Roland, a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina, a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg, Tina's musclebound protector; Tannis, the oddball scientist who's seen it all; and Claptrap, a wiseass robot. Together, this ragtag team goes on a mission to save Tiny Tina, battle alien species, and discover one of Pandora's most explosive secrets. The fate of the universe could be in their hands — but they'll be fighting for something more: each other. Based on one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time, welcome to Borderlands.

From Director Eli Roth (Thanksgiving) and Producer Avi Arad (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), this adaptation of the popular video game series is a fresh take on these beloved characters.

Based on the video game Borderlands created by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. Produced by Ari Arad, p.g.a., Avi Arad, Erik Feig.

I'm not even bothering with a pre-order link. You'd be much better off watching this instead, when it eventually releases.

Any recommendations? I'm slowly building up a 4k collection and I'm looking for releases which justify the purchase cost, either by being visually stunning, or because the supplemental features are excellent. Do you have any titles in your collection that fit the bill?

Man, Star Trek: TMP is a hard sell, the remaster for 4K better be phenomenal

Cabin in the woods, late night with the devil, cruella, fast and the furious 8 movie collection, the fifth element, get out, us, home alone, the howling, the invisible man, the last of us, the lost boys, mad Max, animal House, pans labyrinth

All solid choices.

I'd also say the crow but the extras are garbage

The Fall and The Fountain are both excellent visuals and good stories. SuckerPunch is great visuals but it is more niche on whether people enjoy the story.

Oh man, The Fountain is a great pull. I remember being very impressed with it upon release, but I've never revisited it. I do recall the visuals being gorgeous.

It's one of my favorite movies out of all. The visuals are fantastic and I really enjoy the story.
