It has taken years, but finally, the first Official trailer for Warcraft has hit the Internet, and it looks great. There is a lot of great things happening in what appears to be the first video game movie done right!
There is a lot to take in when you initially watch the first trailer for Warcraft. Before I give too much away lets watch the trailer, and you can see for yourself. You can check it out below.
The first look at the long-awaited film by Duncan Jones did not disappoint. It is packed full of great footage, action, and enough Easter Eggs to keep eager fans talking for days. So, who are you gonna side with, the Alliance or the Horde? There is one clear winner in this trailer, the landscapes stand out above the rest. Don't get me wrong, the armor looks amazing, the CG work on the Horde is great, but the vistas and the cities are what makes this trailer shine.
Will Warcraft be the first film to break the long tradition of bad video game films? Warcraft is a film set in the world of the video game World of Warcraft. You can click the link to join up, if it is a game that you have yet to try out.
The trailer opens up with a gryphon flying over snowy terrain in the direction of a tower. Is this tower the tower of Karazhan or Dalaran? Both will make an appearance in the film. We get some wonderful looks at the Orcs. They are brutal, and I couldn't even imagine them being any more perfect. They look just like the game! It appears as though the plot of the film will be following the events of the First War, from the game. This war just catalogs the first contact that humans have with Orcs, after they travel though the Dark Portal. The Orcs come from Azeroth, and are forced to relocate because thier world is dying.
I am not an avid player of World of Warcraft, but I don't remember Dalaran floating just quite yet. Maybe this is one of the nuances that the film will cover at some point. We can only hope. We will see how the film handles the immense worlds of the game, when Warcraft hits theaters on July 10th, 2016.
