Stands out primarily for its stunning cinematography. Every single frame feels meticulously crafted, almost like a photograph. The cinematographers' expertise is clearly visible in their choice of lenses, field of depth, and impeccable composition. They've managed to capture the essence of Indian life, people, and the environment in a way that feels authentic and immersive. The visuals transport you right into the heart of the scene, whether it's the vibrant streets or the quiet, intimate moments.
However, while the visual storytelling is top-notch, the visual effects seem a bit overdone, occasionally pulling the viewer out of the experience. While they do enhance certain moments, they sometimes seem excessive, which reduces the sense of realism and detracts from the otherwise grounded atmosphere.
The story itself is somewhat of a mixed bag. Though the plot isn't groundbreaking, it doesn't necessarily make it boring. It follows a well-trodden path, but the real issue lies in how the story unfolds. The narrative is often undermined by ridiculous plot points. For instance, the portrayal of the police force is far from believable, with their actions and decisions being completely unrealistic. The mistakes made by the officers come across as absurd, and the supposed heroism and bravery feel hollow and unconvincing. It's as though the show tries to pack in too much drama, which ultimately cheapens its impact.
The sound, music, and sound effects are, unfortunately, a stark contrast to the cinematography. Rather than complementing the visuals, they overwhelm the scenes, creating unnecessary tension where it doesn't belong. It feels as if every moment is trying to be the climax of a thriller, only for the payoff to be something as mundane as a policeman simply walking towards a child. It feels like a missed opportunity to let the visuals speak for themselves.
Lastly, there is a subtle but noticeable undercurrent of racial undertones that, even if unintentional, still manage to seep through. While the series may not directly reflect racism, it does leave a lingering feeling of it, which further detracts from its overall impact.
All my points are for the awesome cinematography that's all I can say something fully positive about this tv-series.

"Sniper Glint" starts with a title that sets the expectation of an intense, realistic military film centered around sniping tactics and the precision involved in long-range shooting. However, as the film progresses, it becomes increasingly evident that it falls short in terms of accuracy and technical realism. If you're someone who enjoys military movies with attention to detail, this film might feel a bit disappointing. The portrayal of sniper shots, adjustments to scopes, firing distances, and even the sound dynamics of the shots and their delay seem to be poorly executed, leaving viewers with a sense of disbelief.
Initially, one might wonder if the filmmakers intended these inaccuracies as part of a satirical or comedic approach. However, the film does not seem to embrace humor in any way, nor does it appear to use sarcasm effectively. Instead, it seems like a missed opportunity, where the technical errors detract from the tension that a film about sniping should ideally create. If the filmmakers were going for realism or intense drama, the inaccuracies feel jarring. But if they had intended to make a parody, they didn't lean into the comedy enough to make it noticeable or engaging.
Moreover, the choice of name for the main character, particularly the protagonist, feels simplistic and uninspired.
The performances of the actors are generally good, and they seem to do their best. However, it's clear that even the strongest performances can't fully salvage the film when the plot and direction lack coherence.
Without giving away spoilers, the ending is another point of contention. It's the kind of conclusion that leaves viewers scratching their heads, wondering "Why now?" It feels abrupt and disconnected from the rest of the film. It almost seems as though the film's conclusion was hastily tacked on, lacking the necessary emotional payoff or narrative closure to leave a lasting impression.

The Borderlands has certainly raised expectations for fans. However, while it carries the name and the concept of the game, the film diverges quite a bit from the source material, leading to a disjointed and underwhelming experience. For anyone who was hoping for a direct connection to the Borderlands video game, this could prove to be a disappointment.
For me, another significant issue with the movie is the pacing. The beginning feels rushed, quickly setting up the premise without taking the time to establish the characters or world in the way that the game does so effectively. The film moves from one plot point to another with minimal explanation or development, leaving much to be desired in terms of detail and backstory.
The ending, on the other hand, feels abrupt and hasty. It lacks the depth and build-up that could have made it more impactful, leaving audiences with a sense that the story didn't get the attention it deserved. This imbalance in pacing makes it difficult to fully engage with the characters or the stakes of the narrative.
The film has been marketed as a blend of sci-fi and comedy, however, in execution, Borderlands doesn't fully embrace either category. It's a challenge for the film to balance these genres effectively, and it never quite succeeds. It may have the sci-fi thrills , bu does not manage to bring the humor and charm that one would expect from a comedy.
When it comes to acting: Despite a strong cast, including talented actors who could bring a lot to their roles, but movie struggles to make them shine. The characters, particularly the iconic ones from the game, feel underdeveloped and flat due to the lack of a strong, engaging script. While the actors do their best, the material they're given doesn't allow them to fully showcase their talents, which leads to performances that, while competent, don't stand out as much as one might expect.
Where the Movie gets points from me are Visual Effects and Atmosphere On the brighter side, the film excels in its visual effects, set design, makeup, costumes, and overall atmosphere. The world of Pandora is brought to life with good detail, capturing the chaotic, colorful, and dangerous environment that the game is known for. The alien landscapes, monstrous creatures, and intricate character designs all add to the immersive quality of the film, even if the story doesn't quite hold up to the same standard.
The attention to visual details, particularly the makeup and costumes, adds an undeniable charm to the film.
As reading other comments, I believe the movie was a disappointment for Fans. If you're a fan of the Borderlands game series, temper your expectations before watching the film. It may provide a few moments of enjoyment, but ultimately, it doesn't live up to the potential of its source material.
