I tried to talk about how it makes them look a big lifeless and surely some lights would allow greater emotion etc. I then added, "or is that just going to be something they have added in post production or whatever?"
He basically blew me off bluntly and directly. "Well everything was checked with and authorised from Games Workshop and they didn't have a problem with it and there's always more things we could have added but eventually we had to say stop."

A highly experienced voiceover artist, heard regularly on film trailers and featured in over 2500 cartoons, Gary Martin is most familiar as the Sugar Puffs Honey Monster.

Absolutely, final judgement for the movie should be reserved for release! Based on the trailers/previews though, the art style and rendering quality are not where I would have hoped, nor do I think they presented compelling material story or visual wise as of yet. It doesn't mean it won't be there in the final product, but for me, the trailers were put together poorly and could have been far more exciting.
I will still def be watching it, and hopefully, the story will be there and I will be engaged enough to not nit-pic as I have with the trailers! Seriously, it could be a really great property for them, and a really engaging way to get new fans into the fold, I'm hoping for the best. Again, my rant was not directed at you in particular, but people on both sides regarding the movie yelling at each other that either they cant think it sucks because they don't understand what a trailer is, or people who say the whole movie sucks based on the trailer without seeing the movie. Equally wrong in my book!
I know it wasn't directed at me in particular, I just couldn't help myself Also, warboss before you was partially right. I think it's pretty much confirmed that the CGI won't change... Too bad. I know and understand that the trailer can lead to bad impressions (just as the teaser did before), but hey, it's a 40k movie made by a small company, if we don't support it (and the company that did it) I doubt they'll allow another movie to come out so soon. They probably looked at their budget and decided that weren't going to blow it all on the CGI, instead spending on the voice actors (and Dan Abnett, whom I abhor) so that they could release a decent piece.
At least that's what I hope - I don't want another D&D movie

If anyone's interested, it looks like the movie's going to be released on the 29th of November. They're selling pre-orders for the special edition for 26 pounds/40 USD.

A bit pricey. Most likely will be a buy, but still thats brutal.

$40 for a CG movie that looks like it was made 10 years ago? Nah, that's OK.

1) What's with the smoke effects?It doesn't fit with the imagery of 40k (or it's spin offs: Dawn of War, Battle Fleet Gothic, Epic, Space Hulk, Dark Heresy, etc.)
2) Why do all the marines look like geriatrics? I don't care if they need to match the voice talents.. get younger voice talents. GW background has changed over the years, but as of now, Space Marines reach maturity and stop aging. The only signs of "aging" are the inevitable scars they acquire over years of combat. Reference: Every Black Library book that's been published in the past 3 years.
3) Why are the Ultramarines the best of all Space Marines? Need I say more?
4) Why are the Space Marines, aka. humanities greatest warriors, aka the HEROES of the story, being blown apart? I mean honestly... Who promotes their movie by claiming the heroes are incredible and then only showing them get blown apart? I don't care who the bad guys are. You don't claim to be the best and then display getting shot down in your trailer.
The Teaser:
1) What's with the cliche' paranormal video effects? That type of jumpy flashing shock type cinematography has come to represent supernatural or paranormal movies/shows.
2) Same as the above questions for the Trailer.

40k since 1994. Too many RTTs to count.

Is this where we hope if they make enough money they'll try it again with better quality? What if we're sending the wrong message and GW figures "Hey, we can make movies with decade old technology and still get paid!"
That being said, I'm one of the folks that might be sending GW the wrong message.
