It is never a good sign when a movie reaches the theaters four years after the start of the main photography, and it is never useful when this version precedes months of reports that separate everything that happened in production. Many fans of “Borderlands” video games were already annoyed that their zebra has been diluted so that the film, which carried a budget between $ 110 million and 120 million dollars, could attract children.
