I decided to pre-order it, I think its important to encourage and give GW related products a chance.
To me a good movie is so much more than awesome graphics, aslong as the storyline is good and got the correct "grimdark" feel, I will enjoy it.

Production for the film is listed as:
Ultramarines movie is being made by UK-based production company Codex Pictures under licence from Games Workshop, working in association with Good Story Productions Ltd and Montreal based POP6 Studios

As licence holder, as GT says, it is nothing out of the ordinary for GW not to financed the venture.
The publishers of the Harry Potter books didn't finance the movies or video games afaik.

I don't get the sense there will be any homoeroticism.
Male buddy bonding betwixt hardcase heroes maybe, but all hugging, I predict, will be manly with good hearty backslapping and plenty of space between PA.

In any case it is the Grimgakk.
There is absolutely nothing gay and bright in the Grimgakk. It is a thourghly wretched depressing time wholly lacking in any form of joviality and jolly japes.


For me the connotations that come along with the name Ultramarines. It's kind of half way between being called 'the Hot pinks' and 'Super best marines'. The one image it certainly does not conjure up for me is that of a grim dark future where there is only war. The name is about as serious as 'Angry Marines', it's just one of the silly remnants left over from RT. If I was going to try and make a serious film about the 40k universe I would avoid it like the plague.

'Death Wing', 'Unforgiven', 'Angels of Death', 'Storm Lords', 'Flesh tearers' would all be more grimdark and frankly more interesting than Ultramraines being bland again.

Also the script

For me ATSKNF might have been something said 10,000 years ago by the Emperor himself. With a crack in his voice and vision in his eyes,. He would speak to his followers of a dream he had, of a future for mankind, of an army he will create. Stronger, Faster, Truer of heart... They will be steel, they will be doom... And they shall know no fear. ---> lux aeterna plays in the background.

But when I see the trailer for Ultramarines, it has them sitting around saying all this big stuff about themselves? "Ho ho and we shall know no fear". It just reminds me of a bunch of frat boys psyching themselves for a football game, and later they'll all be in the shower together, whipping each other on the ass with towels, being like "good game guys".

I expect more from Space Marines. Aren't they meant to be the very embodiment of truth and nobility? Apparently that doesn't include modesty or humility any more.

This whole thing just reminds me of those crappy movie tie-in video games from the early 90s, which were really just quite poorly made generic games, which only ever sold because they bore a loose resemblance to a popular movie. Really they were just cashing in on the name, and inevitably disappointing though.

This feels the same way... it's got Ultramarines, it's got Chaos, it's got some copy pasta lines from the source books, it's got low quality Saturday morning cartoon animation, and apparently little in the way of depth or imagination. Space Marines go somewhere > discover chaos > beat chaos > yawn.

I was being a tad flippant due to the derogatory connotations attached to the word "gay". I have gay friends who are anything other than rubbish.
otherwise agree pretty much with that assessment.
I have also compared it to the Saturday morning CGI series.

But that was because I was under the impression it was for general cimema release, and am feeling a bit more forgiving knowing it wasn't meant as such.

There is no reason of course why a straight to DvD couldn't be epic and awesome. The Saturday morning TV thing tells you where they are marketing the film perhaps? Though some of the blood suggests otherwise.

I still feel it was a missed opprtunity. Hope for better next time

Not buying it.

First and foremost, the trailer was atrocious. Too much one dimensional "Spehse Mahreens fighting for the glorious honor of the honorable glory of glorious glory" covered in ridiculous bling-bling with braindead throw-away Chaos Space Marine opponents (which, really shouldn't be the case given that they are Chaos Space Marines) being gunned down like fodder. Not interesting in the least.

Second, the animation would have been satisfactory a decade ago. The trailer looked incredibly dated.


Give me and "All quiet on the Western Front" or "Stalingrad" with Guardsmen and Space Marines facing the horrors of war and the terror of Chaos, staving off the temptations and ruination of corruption, or a "Requiem for a Dream" style descent into Chaos and Madness, and I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

he didn't slaughter Thousands of DE.

it was more like hundreds and IF hundreds of human sized creatures are fleeing through a corridor that isn't any wider then a small car i don't see how it isn't realistic for a 8ft man in an adamentium suit weilding a gun that fires small rocket propelled grenades to kill most of them.

Hrm, not so much, it very specifically says thousands (and hundreds is still ridiculous). Lets be honest, there's no way they'd have enough ammunition for such an endeavor, and IIRC it was a passage more than big enough for an entire tac squad to barricade and hunker down in.

You're joking. Even if they didn't use melee, grenades, flamethrowers or anything else except their bolters, that's only 100+ bolts each. For comparison, a modern infantryman carries 200-350 rounds each.

Exactly! I will pick up a copy with that philosophy in mind. I have found some great animated movies that never hit the theatrical release. Movies like Ninja Scroll, Appleseed, and Final Fantasy Advent Children come to mind.

If they are slowed / mad / too busy laughing to realise that they are charging one by one and not all of them together then even squad of blind seniors with arthosis shooting from slings could do it too. That bothers me more.

But kill or be killed, it is all service to chaos - should pretty much cover it. Chaos marines wins! Yay!

No. They are supposed to be fanatical, zealous, narrow-minded and skilled. And because warhammer was not invented by aliens(that would hav been heresy!), they were really really juuuust a litle maybe they totaly did it inspired by large numbers of existing / extinct religious groups - and those like to quote alot.

You are talking like you saw million warhammer 40 k movies doing just that. But you know, I think you didnt saw even one. Guess why? Yeah I agree it would be boring cliche if it would repeat and repeat and repeat - but hey dudes and dudies its for the first frikkin time! How can you even think of it as boring or repeating when it never happened before? Do you remember your "first time"? Didnt shine either did ya? Stick with the basics, carry on with more "complex" stuff later.


I have a very bad feeling...That some of you...Feel like they are a little "above" the others...Enlightened in terms of intellect and taste... That they are privileged to dictate what is "good" and what is "bad"...While being farseers of course, because trailer is ALL what we have seen so far. This kind of behaviour - despite the fact it is encoutered often, still makes me want vomit. Even right to express your opinions freely should not cover blind sheepism like:"thissuxcuzisaiditalthoughidontknowanythingaboutit".

Chill out and be optimistic for a while. If it will sux then it will sux, but it will be decided AFTER the movie is released. I just do NOT understand like anyone, who is 40K fan, can ignore this 1st attempt even if it will be biggest bull*hit of the universe. Thats why I am buying it. To give it a chance.

Who ISN'T ordering it. This movie has done wonders for the popularity of GW. Even my two friends who think GW is *geeky and lame* to put it mildly.....

Well today they went down to the store to choose armies, simply because there is an movie coming out. Who cares if its not that good graphicwise. Dan Abnett script, space marines and chaos marines. That sounds awesome.

And for you guys who say its a rental. Get fethed. Really, not going to support a small film company then because they don't do good graphics. DOW was worth millions.

and has an appauling accuracy rate. 90% of the ammo gets used providing covering fire for the rest of the squad because modern body armor can't protect from much more then a handgun bullet and troopers spend alot of time hiding.

when your armor is virtually impenatrable to small arms fire, and your body to pain and damage, you can do 1 shot, 1 kill stuff and expose yourself.

Do you have *any* idea how many rounds it takes to kill a single enemy combatant on a modern battlefield? In Iraq currently, US forces expend about 250,000-300,000 bullets are fired in combat for every opponent killed. In vietnam, in many ways a more direct war, it took about 50,000 bullets, and even in WW2 where combat was extremely direct, it took about 20,000.

Even accounting for Spehse Mahreen accuracy and cramped quarters, carrying a couple hundred rounds each isn't going to do it. And lets not go into where on earth they are keeping all those spare bolter rounds with no packs, pouches, compartments, bandoliers, etc on their pristine armor.

And lets be honest here, the Dark Eldar aren't exactly slouches in combat either.

It's also the same thing I've read in just about every single Space Marine novel ad nauseum. Good Guy Space Marines show up somewhere, repeat the same lines about glory, honor, for the chapter, etc. and walk through an opponent to achieve some miraculous task. It's been done before.

I bet I can also tell you exactly how it's going to play out.

Ultramarines hear about Heretic Space Marines. "FOR THE EMPEROR!" sounded. ad nauseum talk about glory, honor, and maccrage given. Talk about how it may be a suicide mission, about how main characters are ready to die for The Emperor!. Space Marines show up, fight Chaos Space Marines over some artifact/planet/ship/other objective and brainless idiot Chaos Space Marines get scythed down by Glorious Ultramarines for Great Honorable Glory! Against despite apparently overwhelming odds, Ultramarines defeat Heretic Marines and slay them in droves for comparatively light losses (token casualties of course will be sustained) and the Glorious Ultramarines save the day!

Jees, you don't half go on mate. We get it, you aint buying it! Fact is that you've seen two minutes of trailer and made your mind up. Like many others it must be very narrow!

It's not just the Ultramarines film, it's this site. Too many people just want to have a bitch and moan without giving anything or, in relation to this forum, anybody a chance. You don't like peoples opinions... then they must be stupid and vapid eh?

How anybody can "know" anything about a film they aint seen is beyond me. I aint gona rip into 300 until I've seen it and know its homoerotic! Still, 300 is mint. Maybe I should have used a different example!

Maybe it will be a bunch a cirled Ultramarines giving it the large one about honour etc, but it is called Ultramarines. If you want to see them struggle with their dark past or deal with the depravities of chaos and their decent into madness then you'll have to support the film company until they make "Dark Angels" or "Emperors Children" or "whatever else it may be that gets those that say nay to say yay for a change."

I like how anyone who isn't super enthused automatically has a narrow mind, and it has absolutely nothing to do with what is known and has been seen of this film. This is a thread about if you are or are not buying it and the reasons why. Not seeing whats so bad about expressing why I'm not.

Let me put it this way, how different did 300 turn out to be compared to its trailer? Not very. 300 delivered what the trailer promised, lots of almost naked oiled up dudes slaughtering hordes of extras and weird creatures in a semi-mythical revisionist Greek setting. The Ultramarines trailer shows lots of "For Macragge!" and "We shall know no fear!" and hordes of expendable bad guys being slaughtered. How many people expect the movie to be significantly different?

Maybe it will be a bunch a cirled Ultramarines giving it the large one about honour etc, but it is called Ultramarines. If you want to see them struggle with their dark past or deal with the depravities of chaos and their decent into madness then you'll have to support the film company until they make "Dark Angels" or "Emperors Children" or "whatever else it may be that gets those that say nay to say yay for a change."
So, I have to spend a not insignificant amount of money on something that has a very high likelyhood of being total tripe, likely multiple times (of probably nothing but films with entire casts of nothing but Space Marines on both sides), until they make something decent? Pass.

The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

Was it really that hard to spell my forum name with it right in front of you?

You do not realize what happened do you? Carry on Vaschkaschi.


Ill remain optimistic enough to hope that mentionned rivality between two battle - brothers (one claiming he is future of the chapter- oOo such ambition should not go unrewarded!), 2+ mentionned chapters with possibility of treachery(lets pray that good ultramarines will not kick bad imperial fists ass) and at the end apothecary kicked some other space marines ass - can create SOME plot worth watching.

...Well if not then practice makes perfect xD.

Apparently it was either not clever enough or executed properly to get. If you need to resort to trolling a forum name instead of arguing points and merits, then you should probably stop.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

It seems I am incapable of following simple instructions, even when politely requested to do so !

Except Legends was terrible terrible garbage that took a massive dump on Halo Canon, similar to what the Clone Wars CGI show is doing for the Star Wars Universe.

Also, NOPE, I will not waste my money on this.
