They're not considering Space Wolves (as far as we know)...I never said that. Dan Abnett just used Space Wolves as an example to express the reasons they chose Ultramarines.

I f they just make the movie as cool as this Videogame intro...




Gimme 120 minutes of that and you´ll have my money!!!!

What is on top of the rock being shot @ 0:48?

Is it a (chaos) Dreadnought? I can't clearly see. It seems to be something big(ger).

Is that an Ultramarine @ 0:37, or a Black Templar?

And I guess the Imperial Fists we'll see in the movie are probably dead ones like in this trailer.

The smart thing would be a Ltd. Ed. boxed set that contains each of the characters from the movie done as 40K Miniatures. This is what GW should have done when Dark Crusade was released (a box with each of the 7 race's commanders decked out in their Wargear, all done in metal), and it is what they should do here.

....That actually sounds quite epic. I would totally buy a box set like that if they'd come out with it. I mean, the did do a Gaunt's Ghosts model pack....why not do one for this new movie? Or for the new video games (Space Marine, Dark Millenium). If they published special rules or something, I'm sure people would happily buy them up.

I just can't wait till they do an Imperial Guard movie....hopefully we see SOME Guardsmen in this movie, even if they are just getting horribly slaughtered. Cause hey, what else are the IG for?

Someone asked about the possibility of seeing the movie's characters in model form and they basically said "We have no involvement in that and it's up to GW. As of right now, we don't know."

Probably not going to see it. Looks like it'll fall into that uncanny valley of direct-to-DVD releases between really good, like the SG:1 finales, and the hilariously bad, like Megashark Vs. Giant Octopus.

Well, unless the animation quality stays the same. Then it has a chance of earning a place next to my copy of Megashark.

Trailers up on the website now for those that missed it

http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/trailer

What can I say? It looks much better than i feared, but not as good as I hoped.

I think my problem is, compared to the DOW and DOW2 trailers, the eyes in the helmet don't grab the attention enough, maybe they need to be glowier?

I agree, the DoW2 intro cinematic was simply incredible. This looks good, but not quite as impressive.

Still very excited for it and will be buying it day one though

Actual trailer now posted on the Ultramarines movie site...

http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/trailer/?utm_source=Ultramarines%3A+The+Movie&utm_campaign=ea31fa41e7-Email_10&utm_medium=email

Awesomesauce, can't wait for the full product to hit the shelves!

Im going off of the dead and impailed Imperial fists that the enemy will be Iron Warriors.

Just my speculation, but since there is already a corrolation of Ultras vs IW it makes sense to me.

Besides that fortress looks chaosy. I would have like to say Dark Eldar but there didnt seem to be enough DE architechture on the building they blew up.

Besides the Apothacary who was warding the Ultra CDR about glory makes me think that he was telling the CDR to be eary of their ancient foe, which now that I write it makes me think its an Alpha Legion ambush..? Hmmmm.

I´m not impressed...

First, they show you shadows and smoke spending valuable seconds of the trailer in showing nothing. Then just a few quick shots of the same repeated marine. And it doesn´t look very impressive, just like the ones from the videogame.
The shots, the scope was really small, no wide shots, doesn´t feel epic. The only shots I like are the ship and the planet ones. The rest looks like a cheap TV series.

I really want something like the intros from the videogames, but this was... dissapointing.

It makes perfect sense from a production stand point that the enemy would be Choas Space Marines. With the enemy being Chaos Space Marines the studio can just re-skin the Space Maine CGI model and not have to put the time and money into designing a completely different model and skins to go with it.

That is soooo cheap, and lame and sounds like taking the project to the level of a Barbie DVD.

-"Why not making the movie a 90 minute close up of Terence Stamp reading the script?"
-"Can we afore that?"

You're right, they should have broken the bank on a niche, not-even-direct-to-dvd movie so that it couldn't possibly turn a profit and we never get any more.

Doubt they'll make much of a profit anyway, tbh. Niche audience, and with animation quality that's roughly on par with Andromeda they won't be getting much more than die-hard fans anyhow.

Really, it would have been better to go with Inquisition. Seeing what Damnatus was able to pull off with its meager budget, a decent quality grimdark Inquisition flick would be relatively easy to accomplish without blowing the bank on crappy CGI, and gives a much better introduction to the universe than Spess Mahreenz killing each other.

I dont care how the animation looks or if it doesnt come upto the standard of other CG movies.Its Ultramarines, its 40k and its gonna be wicked no matter what anyone says.

While that would be awesome, clearly, I doubt that's going to happen!

The Legion's got a convoluted history.

Make it someone clearly evil AND with a history with the Ultras - make it Word Bearers!

They really should leave the Iron Warriors to the Imperial Fists, shouldn't they!

Wait - maybe they did!

And that's why all the Fists are dead!

And need the Ultras to help them/finish the job?

The sound track is very fitting. "rah rah Astartes! rah rah Astartes!"

BrookM wrote:The sound track is very fitting. "rah rah Astartes! rah rah Astartes!"

You sound... surprised?

It is "Ultramarines" after all!

Well, I was thinking it would be more along the lines of Dawn of War 2, not this rather epic gothic stuff that reminds me of the older music stuff from those SSI games. Anyway, win.

Yeah, it looks pretty good actually. Again i don't think its as good as the DOW trailers but it's cool

I was excited by this originally but that looks dire, as already mentioned the DOW trailers are far superior. Granddad marine, acrobatic gym routine finish marine, dead imperial fists, one shot through the side of the chest death marine. I'm not a graphic artist and It's not like I was expecting pixar quality but it looks pretty low quality as well.

This gak would not fly in a theater environment roffle

yeah space marine the game looks much better so im putting my money towards that spacial edition

Ennkay wrote:This gak would not fly in a theater environment roffle

Good thing it is direct to DVD/game store then!

Still competes against the A-list movies. Well, sorta. GW's not planning on selling it to rental places like Family Video or Red Box, so I suppose only existing fans are going to know of its existence in the first place. Still, if it's competing against another Doctor Who series or the Sherlock Holmes movie with the T Rex and giant squid for my twenty bucks, it better be hilariously bad before I consider buying it.

All the Marines look REALLY old.....

hmmm The final quality better be of a higher standard that the trailer indicates, a little concerned that it will become just another internet fad
