This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

For me, as a 40K fan and an avid commander of Space Marines on the tabletop, this was a decent first outing for GW. It could've been better, but for what we got, it could've also been a lot worse.The voice acting is great. I usually don't like it when movies, especially lower-budget ones, cast celebrity actors in place of professional voice actors, but most of the celebrity actors they got were pretty well picked. Terence Stamp and John Hurt are always great, so I can't complain. I haven't viewed much of Sean Pertwee's work, but here he's also pretty good. In fact, this is one movie where I never disconnected the celebrity voices from the characters.The characters themselves weren't very memorable. The Ultramarines (both the Chapter and characters) lack any defining traits to make them stand out, and a Chapter like the Raven Guard or the Space Wolves probably would've been more interesting and/or fun. Also,the Space Marines not nearly as indestructible as they are portrayed in the tabletop game or in the lore. These are the guys who, after having their heart and both lungs stop working, can take off their armor and swallow poison while UNDERWATER and still get back to the fight after a quick dust- off. Here, their armor breaks like glass and a single bolt round to the chest kills them outright. Space Marines should be tougher than this, and that goes for their evil counterparts, too, along with that Daemon Prince. A DAEMON PRINCE SHOULD'VE WIPED THEM OUT, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!The story was... Underwhelming. Dan Abnett's not my favorite Black Library author , but he can still deliver a solid story. The story he gave us here was essentially just a fetch quest with a twist thrown in towards the end, which wouldn't bother me if the characters a bit more memorable. This problem could probably be fixed by a larger budget and a second writer. *cough* Graham McNeille *cough*The animation and character designs are pretty "bleh". The attention to detail with the miniatures and video games makes the movie look like a college student's final project. The animation's not always fluid and the dust storm that's in a good chunk of the movie's fight scenes feels like a weak attempt to hide this from the audience. But, again, the Warhammer 40,000 universe has yet to get the big-budget treatment it deserves.So, is this a good movie? No. Did I enjoy it? Eh, not really. Do I want a sequel? YEEEEESSS. So hop to it, Games Workshop, and this time get a studio to fund and distribute it theatrically. I'm sure Warner Bros or New Line would be breaking your door down.

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"

First, I should state that I've never played the Warhammer 40K table top game. I have played the Warhammer 40K video game the came out in the past year and getting more into this series, but now to the movie.For this movie being based off a table top game, it was done perfectly. This being the first Warhammer 40k movie, this is a great start and sets the bar pretty high for other to come. I've watched the movie now about 3 times and each time it gets better and better. The voice acting is great. I'll admit the animation of the character's faces in the beginning bothered me, but after watching the special features disc it is a feat of technology they used for the animation. Of course with new technology, there is room for improvement.The story for this movie is amazing. I liked the fact that when it came to the script for this movie they brought in one of the best writers for the Warhammer 40K book series. Not going to lie, now that I've watched this movie, I'll need to buy one of the books by this man.If you have not seen this movie yet, you should see it.
