Warcraft [Blu-ray]

According to Rotten Tomatoes and the rest of the "film critic world" this movie sucks... How sorely wrong those incompetent critics are.Canon? kinda-sorta, not exactly.In the games, you have NPC's you see many of with no "titled name" like the countless Ironforge Riflemen in the Dwarven District. That is why there will be names of characters you have never heard before. Technically this movie is adding to the lore while keeping with what we already know and diverging from it somewhat. Because, well, it's a movie with characters, who need names so it doesn't suck.Technically, the story of this movie is based off the lore that was never written for the game "Warcraft: Orcs and Humans" (WOaH) and if that game were to be re-done with lore and graphics as in depth and epic as "World of Warcraft"(WoW). WOaH was released about 20 years ago iirc. It was an RTS game that was predominantly about having tons of fun with as little story as possible. Through WoW, other games, novels, and some miscellaneous material released by Blizzard the lore for WOaH has been uncovered. This lore is an integral part of what makes WOaH, WoW, and everything else so captivating from a storytelling standpoint. To an extent, to fully understand everything little thing in this movie you need some basic knowledge base. However, it is a great portal to allow people to enter the WoW lore universe. But please keep in mind that WOaH lore is supposed to be somewhat separate from the lore of WoW even though there are elements within WOaH that are connected to WoW.You don't have to be a WoW fan to enjoy this movie. Although the lore is like the Orb of Mystery to our Depleted-Kyparium Rocket. If you love fantasy please by all means watch this. Be careful, don't become consumed. 10/10 would watch again.Now, if you do feel like you want to know a lot more and really dive into the WoW universe I'd recommend doing one or both of the following:1. Play Word of Warcrafta. Request to join the guild <Seekers of Lore> on Gilneas-US Alliance.b. focus on questing primarily, some dungeons, many raids.c. Look up quest topics and dungeons plus who is inside on wowwiki. Click on other articles, aka open the flood gates of lore. Discuss with guild members.2.

In the heart of Orgrimmar, as an orc deeply connected to the Horde, witnessing the World of Warcraft movie felt like reliving our epic tales on the big screen. The cinematic portrayal of Azeroth was nothing short of awe-inspiring, capturing the essence of our fierce battles and the camaraderie that defines our Horde.From the majestic landscapes of Durotar to the towering spires of Orgrimmar, the movie breathed life into our cherished home. The battles between orcs and humans were portrayed with a gripping intensity that resonated with the pulse of our warrior spirits.The characters, especially the legendary Durotan, felt like kin brought to life, their struggles echoing the very essence of our Horde's resilience. The craftsmanship of the armor and weaponry was impeccable, evoking a sense of pride in our heritage.While the film may not have covered every nuance of our expansive lore, it succeeded in capturing the spirit of our struggles and victories. As an orc in Orgrimmar, watching the World of Warcraft movie was a visceral experience, a journey through Azeroth that stirred the flames of honor and glory within my warrior's heart. Lok'tar Ogar!

There is a a whole world out there in the World of Warcraft ... enjoyed the movie though wish there was more of an intro to this story and certainly hope there will be more to this story going forward.

The story was impressive. The actors were very good. Even if a lot of people were disappointed because it was a generation before what everyone was hooked on(WOW and Rain of Chaos). It showed the beginning. Sadly we shall not see a sequel.

At release this film made history with its leap forward in facial micro-movement animation, giving the CGI characters so much greater depth and emotional range. It's still a landmark in this regard, with CGI mo-cap characters able to hold the camera as well as a live actor.The story is great as well, a solid fantasy story that you don't have to know anything about Warcraft to enjoy thoroughly. If you enjoy and form of high fantasy, you have to see this film.The 4K HDR really shows well in the landscapes and sets as well as in the characters and magic effects. A big step up from the Blu Ray.

Wow, no sequel.

With all the crap coming out of Hollywood, this is one movie which would actually be great having a second movie.

Excelente articulo lo recomiendo mucho sobre todo si eres fan de Blizzard.

war alles wie beschrieben

Watched it the first day when it arrived. This movie helped me test my 3D glasses I have recently purchased and everything was great. Brought back the memories of the day I watched the movie in the theater. Since I been a WoW player for a long time this movie is an epic in my opinion - I am not sure about the people without familiarity with WoW lore, but I would recommend this movie anyways.

Aunque a día de hoy prácticamente todo el mundo conoce o ha oído hablar del videojuego de rol multijugador masivo en línea "World of Warcraft", el cual se ha convertido en un fenómeno mundial, lo cierto es que «Warcraft: el origen» no esta basada en el exitoso videojuego MMORPG de Blizzard Entertainment del año 2003, sino en el videojuego de estrategia del año 1994 "Warcraft: Orcs & Humans", que como su título indica se centra en el conflicto entre la raza humana y la de los orcos vista en la película.Tan vapuleada por los críticos de cine como adorada por sus fans, «Warcraft: el origen» es una épica y maravillosa aventura que está protagonizada por Travis Fimmel (serie Vikingos), Paula Patton (2 Guns, DéjàVu, Misión Imposible: protocolo fantasma), Ben Foster (X-Men 3, Pandorum, The Mechanic), Dominic Cooper (Capitán América, Need for Speed, Drácula: la leyenda jamás contada), y Toby Kebbell (Un mónstruo viene a verme, 4 Fantásticos, El amanecer del planeta de los Símios).La película está coescrita y dirigida por Duncan Jones, director de dos excelentes largometrajes como son «Código fuente» y «Moon», y que en esta superproducción de Warcraft tiene su primera oportunidad de disponer de un gran presupuesto para una película, en concreto de 160 millones de dólares. Desgraciádamente, en Estados Unidos apenas logró recaudar 47 millones, convirtiendo la película a priori en un rotundo fracaso de taquilla.. pero afortunádamente pudo salvar su honor y acabó su recorrido en cines con una recaudación mundial de 433m$ (gracias al mercado internacional y sobre todo a China, donde su absoluto éxito allí fue indiscutible), convirtiéndose así en la película basada en un videojuego más taquillera de la historia (al menos por el momento, esperemos que tanto de esta franquicia de videojuegos como de otras, haya más buenas adaptaciones que superen dicha cifra).A destacar la música compuesta por Ramim Djawadi, de quien tal vez os estéis preguntando quién es... Pues este tío de nombre y apellido tan peculiares fue el encargado de componer las bandas sonoras de películas como Pacific Rim, Iron Man o Furia de Titanes; aparte de hacer lo propio en series de renombre como Juego de Tronos, The Strain, Prison Break o Vigilados: Person of Interest. ¿A que ya os suena un poco más? Pues este mismo año ha sido el encargado de la BSO de la serie Westworld y del videojuego de Xbox One Gears of War 4... aparte, cómo no, de «Warcraft: el Origen», una película con una gran trama y con unos sorprendentes efectos especiales recreados por ILM (Industrial Light & Magic). Desde luego tanto los personajes recreados con la técnica del motion capture como los bellos escenarios en donde se desarrolla esta fantástica historia son alucinantes, mucho más aún si cabe en formato Blu-Ray.«Warcraft: el origen» en Blu-Ray viene presentada en formato de pantalla 2:40:1 Letterbox y contiene una impresionante pista de audio en Inglés Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD 7.1; además de en Castellano, Francés, Italiano, Alemán, e Hindi Dolby Digital 5.1 (una verdadera lástima, pues en la contraportada de la carátula se informa erróneamente que la calidad de audio en estas pistas es de DTS Digital Surround, y ya os puedo yo asegurar que esto no es así, que su calidad es de Dolby Digital). Incluye múltiples subtítulos opcionales, entre ellos el Castellano. Y sus más de 2 horas de material adicional en HD, en concreto 127 minutos de extras, están repartidos en:-Making of dividido en 6 partes (34min)=· Historia del origen (4'54").· El mundo del talento (5'35").· El mundo de los efectos visuales (5'09").· Equipar un mundo (6'16").· El mundo de la captura de movimiento (6'50").· El mundo de las escenas peligrosas (5'06").-3 reportajes (17min)=· Los fans de Warcraft (6'36").· Las figuras de Madame Tussauds (7'32").· ILM: detrás de la magia de Warcraft (2'59").-Cómic animado dividido en 5 capítulos «Warcraft: vínculos de la hermandad» (53'47").-11 escenas eliminadas y extendidas (13'57").-Tomas falsas (3'25").-Teaser-trailer del film (2'23").-Trailer de «Jason Bourne» (2'28") (Nota--> es un extra aparte que aparece antes de llegar al menú principal del film).
