Duncan Jones Delivers Once More!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2016)

I went into the theater not expecting much, having seen the trailer, I wasn't pretty impressed, but having seen Moon and Source Code, I wanted to give it a chance, despite having low expectations.
Having seen it now, I'm glad that this movie proved me wrong. Warcraft isn't without flaws, it has many Characters, and not enough time, I would've loved to see more of each one of them, some characters shine more than other, but they are nonetheless all beautifully written, the story is character driven, initially I thought it'd be generic, but that wasn't the case, many twists and turns happen throughout the film, although some can be predicted, they keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to know more. Duncan Jones with the limited time he had in the movie succeeded in building us a rich world and kept us interested in it.
The CGI and visuals are astounding, heck the movie is worth it for them alone, and that's coming from someone who is skeptical of CGI, some shots are too beautiful to describe especially the ones while flying on the gryphon. As for the Orcs, CGI is so well done with astounding attention to detail, As you are watching you forget that the orcs are actually CGI, that's due to both the writing of the orc character and the attention to detail. There are some shots better than others, but that's to be expected in any film that has excessive use of CGI.
In short, the movie has the action, the excitement, the story. It is never dull, and will keep you interested, all I wanted more was a longer running time because at parts it felt rushed and has some cliff hangers, but in overall it is a great movie, and I really hope for more sequels, Duncan you did it again!
