Just thought I'd see what the current opinion is...

**nerdfest09**

Yep, i'll have to get it! even if the reviews haven't been kind for whatever the reason, i'll still get it and enjoy it, how can we not enjoy it? we've finally got a movie about space marines! and as we all know beggars can't be choosers! but I will wait until it comes out a bit cheaper next year? can't quite justify the exchange rate to Australia at the moment.

Need to add the following option

Netflix/Rental

That's my plan.

It probably won't get to either unless you persuade your movie rental place to get it.(lots of begging might be needed)
I pre-ordered it the day it went up!^.^
I may play chaos but I have been following the making since they started and have been looking forward to it so much more then getting more models.

**Ravenous D**

Considering it looks like a steaming pile I'll pass on it unless I hear very good things from credible sources.

**Lint**

Will probably try to "watch it online" if it's available. Eventually I will buy the normal version, but there is no way I'm shelling out $50+ or whatever it is for the collectors. So far the reviews (Yakface, Silver, etc.) have made good points about why we as fans should support this, but it's still garbage CGI, and the story is reviewing as a little too vanilla.... We'll see when they drop the price how many more units they move.

**Hialmar**

I actually thought it looks pretty good and ordered it the day it was available.

**Big Tim**

I'll pick up a basic edition (assuming it's not outrageously overpriced). Unless there is a better cut of the film, I almost never buy special editions.

**wncranger**

I'm a sucker for all things Ultramarines, lol, so I'll be getting the Collector's edition regardless - mainly to show my support, in hopes that they will see the interest and make more movies (hopefully, bigger and better!).

**Grimm**

I might rent it to watch if they're going to allow that to happen. If not, I might, just might, have to ask for it for Christmas or my Birthday. When's it out, BTW?

**imperial commander**

i must have that movie!!! i couldn't wait when the next release is, so i orderd hem when he was avalible

**Eldar Own**

I probably will get it at some point, though my uncle is likely to get it, so i can watch him if he ever comes round os there may not be any point in me buying it. I think i will wait to see what reviews it gets, i think it'll either be really good, or really bad.

**imperial commander**

how much people all over the world will buy this movie?? i dont know, but i hope more than 250.000 people... i think that if they make that so far, i think there will be coming an another movie or more... i really hope so!

**BullDog71ss**

I pre-ordered the collector copy. From what Iv'e seen it looks fairly good so far.

I ordered for three reasons.
1. It's the first REAL 40k movie
2. It's about Ultramarines
3. To show my support in hopes we get more and better movies in the future.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

My friend has ordered it and we have a party planned around getting this. Yeah, the "good guys" will "win"... but for a while I get to watch Chaos Marines killing off the gene-seed of Guilliman! How can that possibly be bad?

**Chowderhead**

Me and a few of the fellas are pitching in and having a movie partay.

**oadie**

I definitely want to see it, but not so much that I'd shell out the cash for the special edition. Maybe I'd snag the upcoming standard edition, if I ever manage to plug that hole in my wallet...

QFT

**Mukkin'About**

I'm in, just for the small amount of fisting in it

**Elector**

Pre-ordered day it was available...I'm a huge fan of 40k and GW's works, and supporting an awesome-looking movie (not talking graphics, though they are still impressive total CGI for an independent studio) but an awesome concept. The sheer idea that they're making a movie on my favorite bunch of plastic men boggles my mind, and I want this to continue. Also, waiting over a year for the movie is too painful.

I can't believe some people would actually consider not buying this, it's the first real movie of our favorite hobby made for the fans, and the trailers look completely bad-a$$. I read somewhere how this is the first movie proposal GW accepted (apparently, Hollywood had proposed movies before) but as film-makers' goals were to bring it to a wider audience, (for example, introducing a love interest), GW declined repeatedly as it didn't stay true to the universe of 40k. This one is actually true to the source setting, and I support this completely!

**Shake Zoola**

Pre ordered...as much as Im not really a fan of space marines I want to support this project!

Hoping it does well so we get some ork viewpoint movies or maybe them fighting necrons!

**=Inquisitor=**

$50 for a movie like that is just ridiculous.

If they come out with a regular version for $20 I'd buy it no problem. But then you can only get it online....this is going to be a mega fail.

$50 niche DVD movie, no marketing at ALL, no way to buy it other than from the frigging website, which means I'll have to pay and wait for shipping from the UK.

Mega. Fail.

**Fattimus_maximus**

I feel an obligation to support what is quite possible the only chance in our generation to see a succesfull series of Warhammer movies come to fruition. I will buy it, and MAKE my warhammer friends buy it too. Chinese water torture might be involved, I'm kinda making it up as I go.

**UbiSwanky2**

Getting normal version...just to show support....even if it is junk.

**Ledabot**

I cant afford it but want it, and im not gay enougth to steal it

**SilverMK2**

Might pick it up at some point in the future - probably the regular version rather than the collectors.

**Jihadnik**

Well, at the start of this thread I was getting it, but I didn't know you could only get it online!

Hmm...Colectors movies/bluerays end up being roughly $35 USD...this movie collectors edition WITH shipping was only $39.98USD.
Where are you getting the 50?

**skbak**

I'll grab it off torrent, and if it's good I'll order it. (In all likelihood I'll order it anyway because quite frankly, who cares - it's a 40k movie!)

**Necroagogo**

Pre-ordered it. If it's poor, it ain't the end of the world. Might be a better return in the long run.

To the 14% who are going to pirate it but not buy it ... do you steal all your mini's too?
