There is, and it’s actually kinda cool if a bit simple.
There’s the vaults, the sirens, and the ancient aliens. There’s the unusual planet of Pandora, the different factions, and the corps. There’s all the different characters all with backstory.
So yes, there’s enough material to make a decent movie with. But like so many video game movie adaptations the writer just phones in a generic script without honoring the source material.

The second one has an ok story and great comedy writing. However it’s clever writing that often only works if you are playing the game.
The Claptrap birthday quest is hilarious but can only work if you are the player. The anoying robot throws himself a birthday party and assigns you to deliver the invitations and get the pizza.
A timer flashes on screen and all the locations are marked on the map. So a standard hit all the locations before the timer runs out mission.
Only the timer doesn’t start but you probably don’t notice or think it starts after the first location. You deliver the invitations and each person declines.
You return with the pizza and then the timer starts. The timer is for how long you have to stay at the party as the only person who shows up.
