Review of Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie (2010) by Ben C — 20 Jan 2014
The movie's plot is over-simplified and can be summed up as follows:
A squad of heavily armored Space Marines engage in a rescue mission and shoot stuff.
The animators seemed to make up for the paper thin plot by adding over-the-top actions scenes which are cool, but unnecessary. Being a fan of 40k (Though I've been drifting away from GWs overpriced models for about a year now), I found it enjoyable and not a complete waste of time. However, to someone with no prior knowledge or fandom of the franchise, the movie is jarring, confusing and boring. If the animators had done a large battle (Macragge, Rynns World, any one of the Black Crusades), the movie would have been infinitely better, even to an outsider. Instead, we are left to ponder why 10 men are given complete control of a Strike Cruiser built for 100 (plus support).
