As a long-time player and fan of Borderlands, I was "terrified" by the trailer. Despite being an obviously big budget production, it tried entirely too hard to give off a campy, fan-produced, cosplay vibe. If you've got enough money for that cast, the fans can reasonably expect better production values. I'm still baffled about why they didn't produce an animated feature film instead.

Not even keeping consistent voice talent for Claptrap made it feel like the movie would be full of missed opportunities–as if it were written by people who'd read about Borderlands but never actually played the games. 😞 If the trailer had been made by actual fans with just iPhones and cosplay, it would probably have been better.
