Dawn of War
Mar. 4th, 2011 07:00 pmA while ago I watched the Ultramarines computer-generated feature film Games Workshop released. And yeah, I suppose it's not bad. But there are so many things wrong with it - the plot's weak (at least by the standards of its writers; merely mediocre by anyone else's) and suffused with blatant stupidity, the environments bland and empty, and the acting (salvaged by at least having decent voice actors) barely tolerable.
The really disappointing thing, though, is the graphics. I'd been told that the film was made by the same people who did the Dawn of War intro cinematics, but I have my doubts. The animation, the effects, the graphics are all of a much lower standard. Now, if they'd got Relic's cutscene team to make it, I can only imagine the results.
Anyway, this all stemmed from seeing the trailer for Dawn of War: Retribution. It's not as good as the intro movies, but vastly better than Ultramarines...
