So Durotan, and a half-breed (orc-human) named Garona (Patton), attempt to form an alliance with the humans there. One noble orc chieftan, named Durotan (Kebbell), doesn't want to enslave the people of Azeroth (for this purpose). The army of orcs, known as the Horde, is lead by a sinister orc, named Gul'dan (Wu) who uses the fel to drain the life force of other species (in order to fuel the portal).

They've discovered a portal, using a powerful magic force called the fel, that will lead them to another world (known as Azeroth). The film tells the story of a world of orcs, called Draenor, that's quickly dying. I really wanted to like this movie, and I did love it's visuals, but the story and characters are a little disappointing. It's gotten mostly negative reviews from critics, but it's also been a hugely profitable blockbuster overseas (breaking many records, all around the world). The film stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Toby Kebbell, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Daniel Wu and Ben Schnetzer. It was directed by Duncan Jones (who also helmed such other popular sci-fi flicks, as 'MOON' and 'SOURCE CODE') it was also written by Jones and Charles Leavitt (based on a story, and characters, created by Chris Metzen). This movie tells the origin story, of how an army of orcs invaded the world of Azeroth to take it for their own.

'WARCRAFT: THE BEGINNING': Four Stars (Out of Five) Fantasy-action flick based on the immensely popular video game franchise, and novel series (of the same name). Perhaps with the success of this and - one may only hope - Assassin's Creed, things will begin to change.

It shows both the direction of cinema and TV blending together (and perhaps with games) and the fear of well established cinema actors getting caught in unsuccessful game adaptations.

The only predominantly big screen actor out there was Ben Foster. Actors came from all kinds of TV series, Vikings, Preacher and Legends of Tomorrow to name a few. The only problem one could have is that it's just the first part in many, with the main conflict point resolved, but none for the character story lines. Characters were well developed, graphics were good, the script had few holes and the mature story was clearly well smoothed out. A half human, half orc girl is instrumental in providing information about who the Orcs are, what they want and how they have reached the kingdom. It pits the peaceful kingdom of Azeroth vs the war clans of the unknown Orc, fleeing from their dying world through a portal fueled by the very thing that destroyed it.

In game, it is the story of Warcraft I, which was another bold move, considering the hordes (heh heh heh) of World of Warcraft players that weren't even born when that game was published.

The story is something placed at the end of chapter III of the mythos and the beginning of chapter IV. Yet the movie exceeded all my expectations and gave me hope for the future. There was the already established Warcraft mythos and stories, there was the terrible stigma of game adaptations and finally there was the matter of so many main CGI characters that had to look realistic, not like something Pixar or Disney designed. There were several constraints that the movie had to work with.
