A consistently M-rated video game series has now been boiled down to Eli Roth's teen-friendly film

If we’re being honest, we’ve been looking askance at Eli Roth ’s Borderlands movie for like half a decade at this point: The very popular Borderlands games are, from a tone perspective, some of the weirdest games in the world of big-budget shooters: Sci-fi adventures that pride themselves on also being incredibly vulgar and comedy-forward alongside all the chaos.

Hopes that Roth was hiding the really gnarly stuff for a red-band trailer have now been dashed, though, as the film received a genuinely unexpected rating from the MPAA this week: PG-13. Given that every single Borderlands game has been rated M , that’s a pretty interesting divergence from the film’s source material. The MPAA notes that the film received its teenager-friendly rating for “intense sequences of violence and action, language and some suggestive material.
