Uh-oh. Saw 'Ultramarines' last night, the Warhammer 40k movie.
Now I love my WH40k, but that movie just wasn't good. If you're not familiar with the premises, steer clear of it. If you are, watch and, um, wonder.
Animation is … decent, at least in some scenes, but not if you compare it to current animated children's TV series. Most game cutscenes are better. Perhaps they should have aimed for a somewhat more stylized look to go along with the wooden animation.Voice acting is, er, decent, but it's hardly a fault of the actors (more of the script). The story is uninspired and predictable, and they did a better job of making the Marines likable in some of the novels.
Too bad. I didn't even know there was a movie like this before yesterday, and now I'm a bit sad that it wasn't better.
