This movie is being released several days early in China. Effects spectacles travel well there, pro ably a good move.

Asian movie star Daniel Wu has a major major appeal in the market, the Warcraft movie can make big bucks simply because of brand recongition + Wu.
 
i think in Europe and Asian Warcraft will be a Huge Hit but a Flop in The US
 
I think it's gonna be a worldwide success among all Blizzard players but WoM needs to give it legs.

Still, Blizz will have clever cross-marketing channels via Overwatch, Heartstone and their other games.
 
Duncan Jones has been doing interviews more and more, but what is cool he's going to Gaming communities as well as to promote this.

The trailer for this movie plays every time I go to the cinema. I'm sick of it.
 
The aesthetic of WoW is not the same as the aesthetic of Warcraft. They went WoW here.


There is a big difference between moments of spotty CGI, and a film that is mostly CGI that is poor throughout.

It's not just a matter of aesthetics. People need to remember that character, armour, and weapon design in the games are shaped by technical limitations. Even just talking about WOW, you can't have high fidelity graphics in an MMO because of the number of characters and world size. As such, you can't use WOW's graphics to justify the incredibly fake, plasticky textures of the armour and weapons for this film. The prerendered cinematics clearly demonstrate that those objects are intended to have realistic textures and so on. For instance, they show that the human armors are supposed to have a rich highly-polished metallic surface with worn surfaces and scratches (even going back to Warcraft 3). I love Duncan, but he and his team dropped the ball hard with this film.

Bought my ticket to 9th June showing.
 
I hope this movie is at least well-written. I'm not really sold on the special effects at all from what I've seen, but if the story is good I can overlook the FX.
 
It opens two weeks early here.

And a buddy of mine just saw it.

Just got my tickets for the premiere. Really hoping it delivers, this could lead on to such an awesome franchise.

That's incredible, actually. Never expected something so fresh and melodic.

Just checked my Battle.net account and I got a free 7 days of WoW trial to check out. 8)
 
I'm so sick of seeing this awful trailer played before every big movie.
