Borderlands Rating Hints That Movie Adaptation Might Not Be As Violent As The Game

This article is part of a directory: The Borderlands Movie: Release Date, Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know PreviousBorderlands Trailer Promises Explosive Chaos & A Talkative Claptrap In Eli Roth's Video Game Adaptation Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Borderlands' age rating is here, and it teases a less violent outing than the games.

Will Borderlands' PG-13 Rating Hurt The Movie? What It Could Mean For The Adaptation's Box Office The rationale for Borderlands' PG-13 rating is probably pretty simple. A PG-13 rating is fairly standard for big blockbuster fare because an R rating limits a film's potential audience. It's unclear what Borderlands' budget is, but it's an effects-heavy movie with a cast that features some major talent.

While the movie's PG-13 rating makes sense from a business perspective, it could prove more controversial to those who are coming to the film as longtime fans of the world of the Borderlands video games. The games tend to feature strong violence and coarse language, as well as sexual material that comes mostly in the form of dialogue. If the Borderlands movie ends up feeling watered down compared to the games, that could make for a disappointing viewing experience.
