What would you make a core of a Borderlands movie for it not to suck as the recent one? (sh.itjust.works)

Making it 17+, changing cast and visuals don't count. Let's say it's live action with heavy CGI. What would be here for the main attraction, the plot, the cast of characters?

Make it canon,

Eli Roth, “The game’s the game, and the movie’s the movie. That was one of the first things I talked to Randy Pitchford the creator about. I was like, I want to make a great, big, fun sci-fi movie. I want to do a mix of Star Wars, and Mad Max, and Fifth Element, and Barbarella, and Blade Runner, and Escape from New York.”

Somehow he forgot to mention Borderlands in his mix...

There are not one, but two worst picks navigating the production!
