Warcraft - 魔獸:崛起
Warcraft (魔獸:崛起) is an 2016 film. The movie is based on the popular video game of the same name from Blizzard Entertainment. The film stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Robert Kazinsky, Clancy Brown, and Daniel Wu. Many of the folks were in complete CG that you didn't even know it was them.
Humans and Orcs long battle each other. When a evil wizard from the Orcs side gains from evil magic, it affects both side. Both sides must now join forces to defeat the evil wizard. But before they can do that, Humans and Orcs must learn to accept and fight along side each other.
This movie as a lot of CG. So much that it began to look cartoonish. And the CG wasn't bad like television, but it wasn't on par against other movies that rely heavily on CG. The story was also very hard to follow which made me confused and there are way too many characters that look similar that I couldn't tell them apart.
From the box office standpoint, it performed poorly in the USA based on its budget, but got the money back on the international market.
Not sure I can recommend this one. Better off dusting off your Windows 3.1 and going into DOS to set the memory to play the first Warcraft game. Wait, I still do that.
