The visual quality doesn't offend my eyes - as it does some...

In my opinion, it's quality will be a function of it's storytelling. Whether this is a good film or not? The jury is still out on this (most important) issue. I see no particular linkage between this and expensive visuals. There are plenty of examples of expensive visuals and s^&t movie.

If this movie rocks, then word-of-mouth within the WH40K community will ensure its success. The reverse will be true. I imagine this dvd will be sold at GW stores too - people will buy it regardless.

I just did a quick search, and found the youtube trailer for this movie. Its a shame my german isnt up to being able to fully enjoy it, but it certainly looked interesting.

It's a shame, though. As a complete opposite to the production schedule of the RPGs, I really wish they had started with something more Dark Heresy flavoured. Of course, that might not have the mass interest for one produced around Space MArnies, though.

Kage

(Ressurect!) I see your point kage but it is usually the iconic pieces of a product that will sell best, only later will the audience be interested in the more intricate details of the product. I am sure most people in this hobby went from Astartes>Xeno>Humans, maybe not in collecting but in "experiencing" with their senses (i know i did, and alot of my friends during the 2nd ed era). I went on portent to find out more about details such as Inquisition from reading "Codex Ultramarines".

Its nice to have a movie out for a game ive played for 20+ years

Im not all that spoiled to see it come out for what it is and written by one of the top icons of games workshop

i would be very upset to have to wait 5+ years for a peice of candy to render . we are what? 6 movies into the Star wars series and how many years?

Ill have it on my plate now thanks. It will be a good seed for the genre . and stimulate interest . and retain those of the faith that are not Spoiled.
