Such a frustrating disappointment
How sad is this?
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It serves well as an introductory package, or an illustrative device for educational purposes. It contains the essentials of Warhammer, and all or most of the essential political/religious iconography and language. This alone makes it a masterpiece among films of this millennium. As a Warhammer film, its scale is too small, but then, that's what makes it a great introductory package. If the scale was larger, it would overwhelm the unfamiliar viewer. In fact, even as it is it might overwhelm the easily bewildered or the narrow-minded. I place my seal of approval upon this film, along with my blessing and prayer that many more like it may be made.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one.Despite the 2010 animation restrictions, I found the plot and pace were great entertainment.Definitely worth the view.
Animations not smooth enough, they all looks like walking stumps (not sarcastically, besides they already stumps). Year 2011 and still this is best you can? seriously? even tons of 1998 - 2002 movies way better quality and smoothness then this one about animations. Shame on you.Anyway, beyond in elaborate animations, i have to admit atmosphere of the world definitely way better then anything else about this movie. Nice sound and music use, good art direction plus moderate script writing/scenario. Some dialogues also have little problematics, full with stereotypes. But still weak link in the chain is animations itself.After all i feel myself like watching a movie before post-production. Well, can't deny something exciting about this movie exist. But also this is not "how to done"
Three stars and three only shine out of the bottomless abyss of despair that is this movie.1. It was made. Being a fan of the Warhammer universe setting in general I was excited to see this movie finally being made.2. Quality voice talent. They really pulled out the stops when it came to hiring actors, so I have no cause to complain there.3. Dan Abnett's name was attached to it. IF you are a fan of his writing as I am, then I suppose you can count this among the positives, otherwise, I'm sorry that this was your first exposure to his work. In my imagination, they forced him to write the screenplay from within a locked closet without food or water while being harried by rabid weasels.Otherwise, terrible. The exposition of the Warhammer setting is poorly handled, the plot not terribly compelling, the pacing is awful - unless extended scenes of people walking through a hazy landscape is your thing, in which case I expect you would find this to be the apotheosis of cinema.Why are we walking through the desert for 45 minutes? Couldn't the drop ship have brought us closer to our destination, considering that it's a FLAT PLAIN that extends for hundreds of miles? This brings us to the CGI. Ten years on from The Matrix, video effects have become much cheaper, so I can't comprehend why the visual quality of this film is so poor, even setting aside the fact that every character looks identical.I can only imagine that the producers ran over budget on voice acting. There are scenes where the focal depth is so poor it approaches the surreal. Stop to consider for a moment that focal depth needs to be set manually in a CGI film rather than what naturally occurs with a camera.The endlessly shifting dust or fog or whatever that fills every frame of this movie is subject to the same aberrations, sometimes something that appears foreground is suddenly revealed to be backdrop when a character walks in front of it. Sloppy, just sloppy.
