Good concept, poorly executed.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Good things: Music, voice acting, general lore stuff, all good and great. The bolter sound is fantastic.The beginning of the story itself I think would've been better with Imperial Guards and heretics, the whole soldiers being frightened and such, doesn't fit very well with the super soldier "we shall know no fear" of space marines. It didn't feel very much like super soldiers, the two pilots in the landspeeder getting sniped without a sound by Chaos Marines felt very out of tune. Both for the durability of marines, and the combat tactics of Chaos Marines.The graphics are better than earlier attempts, but still not that great. It's destracting I think, making the combat scenes, which are a lot of the focus, seem a bit clunky.I think it would've been better to show the marines coming to help imperial guards, show them in context of "mere mortals". Show how they can sprint 40- 50mph, and tank boltgun shots that makes flak- armoured soldiers explode. THEN let the chaos marines and daemons flip it back into an underdog situation for the loyalist marines.

Well, I really thought this film was good. I'm not normally into Warhammer 40k, I'm more of the Warhammer fantasy type girl but I still enjoyed this film. It was a bit slow paced at first but the storyline was really well thought out.The cgi in this film wasn't the best, I got the feeling that this film was almost a bit of an experiment to see how people would respond to their movies but it was watchable and pretty good compared to some films. (maybe I am biased because I love Warhammer).I didn't think i would enjoy it but it surprised me and now I am so desperately waiting for the Warhammer fantasy film to be released if they are making one!

Although this film had a miniscule budget, the creators did an excellent job with what they had and with the source material. The film explains the Warhammer 40K Universe for people who are uninitiated with it. For Warhammer 40K fans, this movie is a real treat. While the story and dialogue could have been better, they do not drag this movie down. This CGI is slightly stylized, but when the action starts, the CGI is fluid and looks good. Another plus is that the Space Marines featured in this movie are the Ultramarines, generally the first Chapter of Space Marines that player of Warhammer 40K become associated with. Judge this movie on its own merits, as a great fan film created by people who love Warhammer 40K.

plot holes the movies have got plot holes the size of a space hulk first Astartes are immortal soldiers whose purpose in live is to serve the emperor whenever where ever however they have no other live and they cant turn the job down ,they fight when all others had failed they dive into the maelstrom of battle killing aliens mutants and heretics alike they cleanse whole worlds in a company no bigger than about 200 man in most cases when they were human they were fearsome warriors who are the best in there death-worlds and show will,power and potential behind that of a normal man then they most pass initial test of some sort -like fighting to death - and probably they almost die that is when the SM appear get the aspirates and put them through hell were their hearts and will and strength will be tested a hundred times at last the get there gene-seed which is a test of some sort for it can kill them or change them into mindless beast and if they survived all that stuff then they become scouts where they will fight for decade or so before receive the honor and get there power armor and that is just the beginning for they will fight for thousand of years after that so when you compare the behaviour of the Space Marines in this movies to the real version you get the following -they wont disobey orders and when their captain tell them to cover fire they will and wont move an inch -they wont die that easily of curse for they have their power armor which will inject drugs to reduce the pain dramatically also they have a second heart so yeah if the movies was made wright they would not die with a single bolt -what in the warp can kill a full company of the imperial fists ? don't tell me chaos daemons because a number of things first the imperial fists are a first founding not only that they are specialist in siege warfare not only that but they are the guys that defended the imperial palace on Terra during the Hourus heresy against a never ending tie of chaos filth and that should give you a lot of exp in defending a place + they had only one fort to protect and that is a peace of cake for them i mean trying to defend a city or world is pretty tough,but when you have 100 battle brother + probably a company commander and a librarian so again what could kill them ? also is the emperor that stupid to give the imperial fists a book that is actually a warp gate ? and if you were going to kill a daemon and you were in the armory wont you pickup perhaps a heavy Bolter and maybe a lascannon or something heavy quick question :if a an imperial general -Zyvan for instance- had a couple of psykers and deployed them on star ports -cc Traitor's Hand- wont Macragge have any ? that is just the w40k plot holes *now the common sense plot holes the sound was awful the movies had not shown us the w40k world for all we saw was just a big star ship and nothing more the the CGI simply sucked to make a long story short the movies sucks if you were a w40k fan if not then please don't think wrong about the w40k for its way better than shown of them movie
