“Been waiting for this for a long time…. and now itu0026#39;s here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good stuff: The voice acting was superb, everyone did a perfect job. 10/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAmbient music and general mood of the movie is dead on, I especially like the first minutes after landing on Mithron, the setting and mood just awesome. 9/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe detail of the warhammer 40k world, equipment u0026amp; lore, is nearly perfect 9/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Mediocre stuff: CGI and animation of characters notably melee combat was a bit awkward… maybe its just me, but it was fair for a first try 5/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story… not bad, not good, a bit simple, expected a little bit more from Dan Abnett 5/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad stuff: The Spacemarines! now I saw this with a friend of mine who has little or no knowledge of the 40k universe, and I had to explain a lot to him before and during the movie, and before the movie I told him about the spacemarines as being huge superhuman bad asses who kicks butt, whether its an army of heretics or aliens, after the movie he asked u0026quot;whats so special about the spacemarines?u0026quot; and to be honest I had the same feeling, you donu0026#39;t get the feeling they are anything special, not that Iu0026#39;m saying you feel like they are wimps, they just lack the Superhuman quality 3/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn board the Reclusiam, where are the Ultramarines serfs? who is flying the thing? are the only ones aboard the 12 Ultramarines and a couple of servitors? Here they could have put a few normal humans in, and see the Ultramarines stand head and shoulders over the tallest of the puny humans, but no instead you get a feeling that the Reclusiam is devoid of the and some computer flies the ship… 2/10 Way too short 76 mins? this is reflected in the plot of the movie which is pretty simple Buuuu! :o) I really wanted to score this high, but my personal verdict is… well 6/10 wait +1 just because it a 40k movie so final verdict 7/10.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWill I buy more 40k movies? yes! will I recommend others to buy and watch it? yes! will the fans be disappointed? no I think not :o)”
