Alien at the Movies

This is a sci-fi action comedy about a ragtag motley crew of misfits who are are on a quest to find the keys & the Vault that supposedly contain treasures & ancient technology left on the planet of Pandora by an advanced race of aliens called the Eridians. Cate Blanchett play Lilith, infamous bounty hunter hired to return Tiny Tina to Atlas. Kevin Hart is Roland, soldier who kidnaps Tiny Tina. Adriana Greenblatt plays Tiny Tina, the explosive bunny-eared girl. Florian Munteanu is Kreig, the big strong brute. Jack Black voices ClapTrap, the comic relief robot. Jaime Lee Curtis is Tannis, scientist/archeologist/Eridian expert. Among the many Vault Hunters also searching for this hidden fortune is Atlas (Édgar Ramírez), head of a powerful corporation with a large paramilitary army. This film is supposed to be based on the role playing video game but perhaps it is more inspired by the game. I suspect that the less you know about this video game, the more you may enjoy this movie because you’ll have fewer preconceived notions of the characters & the game. The movie is a humorous imitative mixture of Guardian of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Mad Max, & Avatar concepts with cheesy lines. I️ think of it being generic text book storyline oriented & more of a guilty pleasure film. 

Alien gives it 3 “for salvation, there must be sacrifice” out of 4.
