Were it not for the context of this, I'd think you were talking about the Imperium...

nah, the Imperium summons all kinds of daemons (accidentally) not just butt prospecting daemons.

Exactly, duh!

Because everyone here (even you) wants to be like me, but everyone also fails to realise that I tend to put thought behind my criticism.

Nothing constructive can come of mindless praise.

Ultramarines is a 40k film and 40k rocks, so Ultramarines the movie will be awesome even if it sucks because 40k is awesome.

Because it's the Internet. Welcome.

And why does everyone hate space marines?

Space Marines in general get flack because some people perceive them as getting an unfair amount of attention from GW in models/books they receive. People particularly hate the Ultramarines (and now the Blood Angels), is because their latest fluff was written by Mat Ward, who has less writing ability than the average 13-yo Twilight fan writing slash fanfics, although I'm guessing he squeals and wets his minge just as often while writing it.

We should have two threads;

1. "How they effed up the 40K movie"

and

2. "How awsome is it that we finally get a 40K movie"

..."The greatest of them all is the Ultramarines."- /roflkoptermao

To be fair, it's only kids (or those who can't grow up) that think that way. Most people here do realise it's just a game.

The number of those who can't grow up, is much larger then people think, or would like to think.

why the hell isnt michael bay involved?

YES! This dude knows what he's talking about. I feel the same exact way. DIE IN THE RAGING MAELSTROM OF OUR HOLY BOLTERS XENOS SCUM! *bolter sounds*

No no no you're getting it wrong it should be

Get it?

Really the bare minimum the could have possibly done. Not much to rate here beyond a static model, and a good voice over.

This movie will have so, so much more going on than this on the screen at any given time if it is anywhere near current CG animation standards, too soon to call for me. The thing that edges me over to annoyed and negative is having to register to see what is in essence a single panel from a motion comic.

This is my bet

*sigh. GFoC (Great Firewall of China) is blocking my viewing. Anyone got a non youtube link of this?

You can register with the official site and see it there. Frankly it's not worth it, you only see the upper half of the marine and it's just a scarred veteran looking marine staring off into the distance, no movement.
Just ignore it and eventually something worthwhile looking at will come along.

Have to say was a tad disappointed with this. was hoping for more in the way of animation, other than a few fluttering partchments and the occasional blink from the space marine. That said however it does look like they have made an effort with the feel of the 40k universe. Still very excited about a propper 40k movie!

I have to say. the visuals are good. i like it. but yeah not enough footage to impress me

Ummm... Might have something to do with the fact that it's a -teaser- (Not to be confused with an actual movie trailer, which shows footage of the film itself)

Really it's the OP's fault for posting a misleading thread title

Teaser's don't have to be boring though! There are things they could have done to make it a bit more visually interesting than a slow zoom in on a static dude. It's all taste though right?

I know how much work it would have taken to get it to that point, most of the work is done, it would not have taken much to up the interest a bit.

Damn I thought the Zombie Invasion would come before a 40k movie!
Cross your fingers!

Then it's not a teaser. All a teaser does is... well... tease you. It doesn't answer any of the myriad of questions about a film, it doesn't give -anything- away other than what you already know, and it's always very short.

Dude, you have to admit there are a million ways to meet your criteria yet still be more interesting than a slow zoom in! Teaser is meant to entice, not annoy right? Obviously many people on here weren't particularly excited by it, so I don't think it can be categorized as a resonding success.

Remember the StarWars episode 1 teaser? The Terminator Salvation teaser?

Actually here, these are teasers too -

A bit more to chew on no?

Anyone watch the mortal kombat clip? Its exciting.

Ya that was awesome, apparantly it was the directors 'audition' to the studio to try and get the movie made.

Frankly I'm not sure how much the world needs another MK movie, but if they are gonna do it, that looks like a good start and a good reboot!

Thing is, we've seen Star Wars movies. We've seen Terminator movies. We know they're all going to be the same thing with a new coat of paint. We don't have an actualy 40K movie yet (aside from those horrible live action ones they used to show at gamesday back in the 90's) so my guess is Codex doesn't want to give -anything- away, so that when people buy the movie, everything is fresh. Personally, I'd rather have a suprise and unanswered questions up until I see it. But that's just me speaking as a guy that used to watch -a lot- of movies.

As far as a teaser goes, what they've released is perfectly appropriate as a teaser, and pretty much fits the actual format of what a teaser is. Most of the time, you're lucky to even see as much as they showed. Most actual teasers might give you a 1 second flash of a scene or an indistinguishable hint of something that you can't quite see, followed by a title screen, then a flash of the short credits. As far as proper teasers go, Codex was quite gracious.

Ah will just agree to disagree brotha, I am probably more picky than the average guy since I kind of work in that field.

Frankly I come out worse because I am stuck being ambivalent when I would have loved to have been excited!

I am still looking forward to the full trailer though! I hope they are fighting something cool like Tyranids as opposed to CSM (what seems to be the typical SM opponent when it comes to non-core stuff like pretty much every vid game they ever put out, barring final liberation).

Tyranids are a perfect stepping on point for newcomers as far as enemies go imo, they have no names, no real history or communication, a good faceless evil to go against. You don't have to hear much about them to get the aliens'esque peril you are in, no chatting, no politics, just fight or die. CSM would require too much fluff knowledge to fully appreciate in 90 mins, + it would be a shame not to have 2 completely different opponents squaring off.

They haven't announced antagonists yet right? If they did don't rip me a new one I missed it!
