Warcraft movie thread

Starting a new thread because I didn't want it buried in the Star Wars Ep 7 thread... ugh.

That's best viewed on Chrome. Firefox absolutely CHOKED on it, so it really makes a difference which browser.

Open it in a new window or better, yet, on a mobile device.

HOLY SHNIKEYS!!! You can pan and watch in 360 degrees as you fly on a gryphon over Stormwind!!! And when I say pan, I mean just MOVE THE PHONE and it's like youtube is now playing VR.

This movie looks like they are working SO HARD to do right by the lore that if they get this one right, they will be able to put together at least a trilogy of these movies together. I mean, there's just so much lore that they could do a pair of trilogies, probably.

Anyway, I was blown away by this latest bit of tech from ILM's xLab.

Hope you are, too!

Warcraft Teaser , full trailer comes out Friday

I have no idea, Rag. No idea at all. I hope it will be great. Been playing the game 9 years.

The lore is fantastic, so if they do it right, it should be an awesome movie.

I'd love to see a Diablo movie as well... I can see that happening if this is successful.

Full trailer

It's nostalgic for me, being a player for so long. But they've got to tweak some of that CGI a little bit. Baby Thrall looks like a radioactive monkey. With that said, most of it looks really good. And it definitely looks better than the stills that leaked last week.

I'm going to go see it, and can't wait for more trailers.

Tricky thing making films based on video games. Not many that were able to pull it off.
A couple that completely worked were Resident Evil, Silent Hill.

I'm definitely going to see it at a recently remodeled place in Bradenton. They have reserved seating and great reviews for their new recliners. Only 8 theaters, so if they aren't going to carry it, I'll see it at the nearest IMAX theater if it's offered in IMAX.

I really want to see it in a nice setting. Would rather see it in a Director's Theater setting (one of those higher end cinemas where they serve alcohol) not because I drink, but because the higher prices and nicer seats keep out those who can't STFU during the movie... man, I hate that...
