Story Line.
Lilith (Blanchett), 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 (Ramírez), the universe's most powerful S.O.B. Lilith forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits - Roland (Hart), a seasoned mercenary on a mission; Tiny Tina (Greenblatt), a feral preteen demolitionist; Krieg (Munteanu), Tina's musclebound protector; Tannis (Curtis), the oddball scientist who's seen it all; and Claptrap (Black), a wiseass robot. Together, these unlikely heroes must battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover 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
Thoughts:
It's important to know that I've never played the game. I am unfamiliar with the characters, story line or set details.
I saw the preview for this before another movie in the theater. It looked decent and had an all-star cast. I had herd once this came out how terrible it was, and the ratings reflect the gamers thoughts on this one.
I personally didn't think it was bad. I thought it had a decent story line, action and comedy. I thought it was a fun little movie that didn't take itself too seriously.
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
On the
planet of Pandora, Roland, a mercenary soldier apparently gone rogue,
kidnaps teenager Tiny Tina with the help of Krieg, a "Psycho"
who was institutionalized in the same facility.
Meanwhile, on
another planet, bounty hunter Lilith is contacted by Atlas, a
powerful corporate magnate. He convinces her to rescue Tina, his
daughter. Lilith returns to Pandora, her home planet, for the first
time since she was a child. With the help of Claptrap, a robot that
was mysteriously programmed to wait for her on Pandora, she locates
Tina.
After realizing that Atlas wants his daughter back
against her will, Lilith teams up with Roland and Krieg when they are
attacked by the Crimson Lance, the private army of Atlas. Lilith is
informed that Tina was genetically engineered with biological
material from the Eridians, the ancient race that once inhabited
Pandora, and that Atlas believes only she can open the Vault where
the secrets of the lost civilization's advanced technology are
kept.
With the help of Lilith's estranged foster mother, Dr.
Patricia Tannis, they locate the key to open the Vault in an
underground maze occupied by a tribe of Psychos. They manage to take
the key to the surface. Lilith destroys the device Atlas entrusted
her with to signal when she had rescued Tina, and he immediately
communicates with her via robotic drone, explaining that he still
wants the girl. Tina overhears the end of the conversation and
assumes Lilith has betrayed her. She throws a grenade at Lilith,
leaving her unconscious. When Lilith recovers, Claptrap unknowingly
plays a holographic message for her, recorded by her mother.
The
next day, without Lilith and Claptrap, the team find the Vault only
to realize Atlas is waiting for them, and they fight off his men.
However, Tina is unable to open the Vault. Lilith appears and
explains that she is the one who can do it, being an Eridian known as
the Firehawk. Atlas threatens to kill Tina if Lilith does not open
the Vault. She obeys but, with Tina's help, traps Atlas inside, where
a creature drags him away. The group celebrates their survival.
