Back to Azeroth

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2016)

I grew up with the Blizzard video games and couldn't lose the opportunity to watch and comment this movie. As first as I saw the trailer last year I was pleasantly surprised : what I had dreamed of as a child, a movie based on the mesmerizing universe of Azeroth, was finally becoming real. Watching on the big screen the characters I used to click on with my mouse was honestly a moving experience. Regarding the technical aspects and the contents of the movie, I confess, as most of the reviewers, to have had my prejudicial expectations completely (and positively) overthrown. The plot was linear and coherent, the CGI was conveniently faithful to the game (the Orcs were remarkably designed) and the ending scene with little Thrall travelling in a basket in an almost biblical way just gave me what I needed : the desire not to lose the still unannounced sequel.
