The live-action drama "Borderlands" failed in the commercial market, and the director attributed the reason to the "epidemic"
"Borderlands" directed by Eli Rose both failed in both box office and reputation, with Rotten Tomatoes' professional score only 10%, and audience scores 49%. The reasons for the failure of the video are complex, and the impact of the epidemic is very great.
Ros admitted in The Town podcast that it was because of the epidemic that caused the filming to face multiple challenges: the epidemic prevention restrictions were strict during the production period, and the later period was forced to reshoot due to the scattered casting and filming location. In addition, the repeated epidemic situations in various places make it difficult to coordinate script preparation and action design, seriously affecting the shooting progress and the quality of the filming.
In this way, the epidemic has indeed had a certain impact on "Borderlands". However, in the same situation, some movies have succeeded. For example, "Mission Impossible: Fatal Reckoning" has gained a lot of audience recognition for its excellent plot and performance.
In other words, although the epidemic is an important factor in the failure of "Borderlands", the production level and promotional strategies of the film itself are also worthy of reflection.
