Warcraft a film review.

Warcraft a film review This film by Blizzard Entertainment is based on a very popular pc video game of the same name. It features a Kingdom that is protecting itself from an Orc Horde invasion from a different dimension. One of the Orcs is virtuous and is a chief of his clan. The leader of the Orc Horde is Goldan, a very wicked magic is in his control called the Fell. He needs the power of the Fell to open the Gate to the other dimension. Meanwhile, the Kingdom goes to the powerful magician the Guardian Midev to assist them in fighting off the Orc Horde. One of the King’s best fighters is stricken with tragedy when his son dies, and this breaks the trust he has with Midev because it seemed like he was responsible. Later, Midev succumbs to the Fell and becomes an Orc. The good Orc who had a wife and child, is killed by Goldan and so is his wife. Their son is saved by the mother sending him in a basket down the river. This movie is gruesome in its detail of violence, but one of the quotes I like is “there is light in the darkness, and darkness in the light". Sometimes wars are fought with good guys within the enemies, and bad guys within the good guys. I give this movie a 3 out of 5 stars because it is a little disturbing in its graphic description of bloodshed, yet the cgi is blended so well with real-time acting, which shows a great deal of technical cinematic skill.
