Avatar hasn't been the bar for awhile. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes might be now or Interstellar, but definitely not Avatar.

interstellar didn't give us organic CGI characters. just environments (which looked really cool for sure)
apes you could raise an argument for though...and that was WETA as well.

Cautious optimism after watching it.
On one hand, they are about to head to Azeroth where hopefully we will see less CGI. I'd just like to see the human side of things. Tired of Blizzard forcing orcs down our throats.

The crap writing is easier to notice with human characters.

Things I like:
- Obviously based on the earlier stories which are pre-existing entities that were written before Metzen started whatever drugs he took when he was writing WoW stories.
- Obviously taking a "neither side are really the bad guys" approach.
- CGI is top tier and pretty much exactly how I'd want it. Is pretty much exactly how the orcs should look.
- It was unique since it was actually more like a scene from the film rather than a trailer made of different scenes.
Things I don't like:
- There wasn't any live action parts to give an inkling as to how the finished product might come close to looking.
- It's a Warcraft movie.
- It's not a Starcraft movie.
- Like seriously, they should have made a Starcraft movie.

Honestly hope it does well, hope we see a StarCraft movie down the line (that ignores anything and everything to do with SC2). It would be difficult to do (3 protagonist and stories), but it seems like an interesting enough story to see on the big screen. colony ship from Earth to an unknown sector filled with humanities trash, development into an interplanetary force, Zerg arrival destroying planet after planet (the whole sector is basically fucked), following Jim Raynor and Terrans being assholes in general, Kerrigan abandon transformed into a Zerg, explore her history and more insight in the Zerg, Explore the protoss the dark Templar and the past, follow Tassanders perecuition and and self sacrifice in order to destroy the Overmind.
The follow up with a sequel movie brood wars.
Seems like something entertaining enough and with enough content get a good 2 movies out of (3 would likely just be Hobbit like dragging).

Man good taste and your correct, I consider StarCraft to have a story interesting and entertaining when watched on a big screen. WarCraft's plot and story is played out by now.

Agree to disagree. Also we weren't comparing Warcraft to Avatar just so you know.Its Avatar. Still is.Everything in that gif is CG. Warcraft won't come close.

yeah, I will wait for a proper trailer. But I kinda wanted the orc to sound more orc'ish if that makes sense.
It also isn't the whole thing that leaked. It missing a chunk of footage from the humans PoV as well as a shot of the armies colliding on each other. This is the rest of what was shown:
And here is the rest of the article
edit: Seriously if Jones chose to recreate this with Anduin Lothar leading the troops than goddamn 2016 is going to be something special for the 15 year old in me. Can't fucking wait.

Hmm I'm almost afraid to watch it after reading the comments. Let's see if I'll have the same reaction.
edit:
Well that was actually alright. Dunno why people would complain about poor CGI, especially not with that low quality recording. I'd rather say it looks better than worse when you get to see the actual film. On the other hand the amount of CGI is obviously huge and it may really have this animated feel to it which you'd rather want to avoid in a live action movie.

If the movie cannot stand on its own, who cares if they plaster some famous actor in it?

Arthas / WOTLK would make a sweet movie

Thisss.
I just want to see Stratholme in live-action. It would be pretty huge for average movie-goers who aren't familiar with the games and expect LOTR with bigger swords.
Absolutely.
And I also like the entire dynamic of Thrall/Arthas, the slave that becomes the saviour and the crown prince that becomes the betrayer.
ending spoilers for Warcraft in case people have no knowledge of the games
Hopefully we see a very young Arthas when Anduin comes pleading to Terenas for the formation of the Alliance of Lordaeron

That was probably the most boring trailer for anything I've ever watched. It was cringe worthy to the extreme, they expect people to want to see this? I won't comment on the cg as you can't tell from the video, but the voice acting and just overal idea of this comes off as a strait to DVD film.
It's not a trailer. It's just a few scenes stitched together and not even the whole thing. Trailer will be revealed at Blizzcon in november.
It'll happen if we get a sequel. They have already cast young Varian, they've got to have young Arthas. If they are going by the current Warcraft canon, those two grew up together and became buddies while Varian was a refugee.
It wasn't a trailer. It was a bunch of different unfinished scenes just to give fans an idea of what the movie will be like. This is why companies hate footage leaks from cons. In the case of some other movies they actually had trailers created. Hell, those companies probably wanted their stuff to leak.

This!
it ain't a trailer or anything of the sort.
It's just random footage they had that was probably barely edited.

You have to first prepare yourself
People have asked Blizzard to do exactly that, obviously this is not on the same level as their cinematics but looks similar.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Plenty of women play WoW.

Sorry to disagree with you on that but Avatar is still the bar for quality CG. Planet of the Apes would be second IMHO, but no movie with CG has yet bested Avatar. Sorry dude.
That was some sleepy footage - even the camera was flying around and away in slow motion.
I'd like to see the human-on-orc interaction, but I can already tell this movie won't age as well as Avatar which too has 100% CGI crafted scenes. The digital cinematography isn't up to snuff.

Yep that Warcraft, cant wait to see a hq version of the trailer though. Probably gotta wait for Blizzcon then.

Yeah you don't get to 12 million subscribers with a sizeable female fanbase. Actually plenty of women play mmo's in general, I'd say it was one the most popular genre's before the smartphone boom, Most the people I ended up speaking to in mmo's end up being stay at home moms, college girls etc (basically people with too much time on their hands), granted I was playing GW but I can't imagine their being much of a difference.
For many reasons
It looks like a supped up WOW cinematic
The focus of the main characters doesnt appear to be humans. I believe viewers like to identify with humans as opposed to orcs
Main characters are also the "bad" guys
Videogame movies dont generally do well
The stigma of the warcraft name is too "nerdy"
The style of the movie or the cgi looks a bit too cartoony whereas something like avatar makes them look more real
Now i may be completely erong about the focus of the story; horde or alliance but these are my general feelings
As someone who played vanilla wow and TBC hardcore, i cannot wait for this movie
It is just what i wanted, i for one am glad they didnt try to change the tone of warcraft to appease the public viewers, but it is gonna be their downfall

My experience of Warcraft starts and ends with WC3 and the first two missions of the original but I have to say the talk about an Arthas trilogy excites me so much more than the story of the original game.
I experienced Stratholme as a newbie to the series and it was amazing as twists go,especially so for coming from a video game.
People explaining that this wasn't actually a trailer but rather a sneak peek explains the awkward transitions. I'll keep an eye out for more news then.

Looks fine to me. I have always loved Blizzard CGI since the days of StarCraft and Diablo. I even bought that stupid CGI DVD Collection from SC/WC3/Diablo about 10 years ago. If the entire movie ended up being CGI I'd be fine with that, although we know there is some live-action. I just hope the live-action looks alright with the CGI... which I suspect it certainly will.

Honestly if this didn't have Warcraft name attached I'dave zero interest. After 6 Middle Earth films and numerous films inspired by Lotr. A film hose central premise is Orcs vs humans, is about as boring as it comes. I hope it does well on the chance we eventually see a SC movie. but the timing of this movie is kinda poor.
