Nonwarcraft player and no knowledge perspective (aka noob review)

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2016)

Waaaay better than I expected and vastly greater than rotten tomatoes 22% and critics reviews! I saw this thinking being on the edge and so glad and wasn't bummed for losing $10. Breakdown for people on the edge: Definitely a good time! Even if you have no Warcraft experience. Who would like this movie: Lord of rings fans, Harry Potter maybe, any action science fiction movie or fight movie will like this too. The effects and are amazing. The main Orc monsters are 'beautifully' ugly and the villain is pretty cool and terrible. The action sequences are awesome and I'm no fan of imax 3D but some sequences felt like I was sitting on the battlefield. I was really impressed. It looked way worst in previews.
Did I get the characters backgrounds, towns or fanfare? Nope but that doesn't distract from enjoying the film. What distracts from the film is the actual production. They obviously clipped this down and left out linking scenes that are very apparent as things just literally jump from scene and place to place with no transition. It's pretty horrendous and apparent but doesn't make it any less fun when things get intense.
OK now for the negatives that in no way should hinder you from seeing it just make it from a film and movie piece itself have some glaring issues. The transitions from scene to scene are so sporadic, so quick and non-smooth it is literally like watching an animated jr high PowerPoint presentation with the "slide" transition used in overboard during scene changes. Then the next scene will have no intro or background just through you into a non set up convo or action sequence. Also the human support cast (other than main people) aren't in the same league and feel like children movie actors. They have potential but yeah. However those things don't make this movie unseeable just make this a bad movie from a movie critic standpoint, not a fan which is why I think movie industry buffs concerned with the movie production and flow cons give this a failing score and everyone else can give it a solid B for a good time.
