![]() ![]() I liked the main human characters enough but others seem to have been neglected, which left holes where the “epicness” of the fantasy could have been brought to life even more. There are however, other places they fell short in bringing the high quality Warcraft fantasy world to life, such as the human characters. The orcs are a fierce and savage people and they did an excellent job of bringing their race to life in everything from their movement, to the facial expressions and voices. The moment an orc is first seen up-close on screen, the fantastic level of CGI quality is evident. Having seen the movie in IMAX 3D, every brutal blow by an orcs giant hammer, or slam of a sword on a shield, can be felt. Of course, with a title like “Warcraft”, the battle scenes are the highlights of the movie. The filmmakers did a great job of portraying the orcs as they are in the gaming franchise. Throughout the movie, you are given a glimpse of how they live as a savage people, yet strongly uphold their honor, pride and tradition. There is little room for the interpretation of a backstory on any of the main human characters, but the orcs are well introduced. The two factions face off in a war as the humans fight to protect their home and the orcs fight to claim it as their own. The orcs, whose homelands are dying, face total extinction if they don’t leave for a new world. The humans have lived peacefully on Azeroth for many years, but are caught by surprise when their villages are ransacked by an unknown enemy. No time is wasted as the characters of the two factions are introduced and they jump around from scene to scene, which can be confusing if you’re new to the franchise. ![]() “Warcraft” opens with a fight scene between a human and an orc – a familiar feud for fans of the World of Warcraft computer games. ![]()
