We got a demon to kill

Rating: 8/10 (27 November 2017)

Orcs invade a planet of humans from their own dyeing planet through a magical gate. There is a human vs orcs battle, and of course the typical double agents and unlikely love story. The film leads to a sequel.
In this story the Orcs are more like Klingons with a code of honor than the Orcs we witnessed in LOTR. There is a lot of magic, with a fear of "The Fel" a magic which sucks the life out of a living thing. (Guess why the Orcs keep relocating.) The film is based on a video game, and unlike "Final Fantasy VII" movie, it is watchable. The CGI and humans blended in perfectly. It was incredible to watch.
The game/film builds upon what we loved about LOTR, Harry Potter and previous RPGs. It combines it into an epic tale.
On the downside, I didn't like the actors. I think names like Liam Neeson and Zoe Salada would have brought much more to the screen. I liked our hero mage Callan, I just didn't think Burkely Duffield was right for the role. The dialogue needed some zip. And since this is a film and no longer a game, the love story/drama needed better development.
Disclaimer: I have briefly played WOW when my sister left her computer on while she had to talk to a bill collector on the phone. Certainly having WOW is worth going late on a mortgage payment. I managed to get her level 70 mage killed in five minutes. How is that even possible? I enjoyed the feature and look forward to a more promising sequel.
Guide: No swearing sex or nudity. Killing without gore and blood splatter. One sex talk scene about wanting to "lie with me" and he would get hurt.
