Thinking outside the bubble!

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2016)

I think most reviews hold a lot of prejudice against the video game industry and people need to stop expecting another Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. Duncan Jones makes a new approach into the fantasy universe and doesn't have fear to use color and action. All the action scenes make sense and fit well into the universe, working with the story. The story is just like the game, and if someone go to the movie expecting something different than Warcraft, obviously will be displeased. It is a movie about WAR, MAGIC AND ORCS! It meets all that was stated from the beginning. When you go to see Warcraft, you can't expect a new Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. Neither a new Marvel movie or DC. Warcraft is another kind of history, and Duncan Jones insists in this. He brings another aesthetic and another kind of history pace. And let's face it, today we are living a boom of superheroes (and "geek") movies, just like there was a Western boom years ago, for example. Movies that try to go against the river are ignored or vilified. And most movies are classified into two types: intelligent movies or blockbusters. The ones which will try an Oscar and the ones which make a good money. Warcraft, being born from a game, is the focus of much prejudice. "Who dares to try to make a movie about a video game?!" For most critics video games are childish, but for our luck, game designers think different and are ahead, making games like Heavy Rain and The Last of Us. The Game Industry already uses cinematography strategies to achieve an unique experience. And it is stupidity that the Movie Industry keeps ignoring this new universe of media, and lives inside of a bubble of constructed rules. But hey! Let's think outside the bubble!
