Ultramarines was released a few months ago on dvd. Warhammer 40,000 is a British tabletop game produced by Gamesworkshop. The game has been adapted into many things including hundreds of books and multiple videogame adaptations. The only media form it hadn't entered was TV/Movie, and every fan of the game has been waiting along time for that, and as a fan I can vouch for that. It was produced by Codex Pictures, directed by Martyn Pick, and the screen play was written by my favorite author Dan Abnett. The movie fallows the Ultramarines (superhuman soldiers bred to combat the enemies of mankind, the xenos scum and chaos heretics) as the answer a distress beacon from the planet Mithron. When they arrive they find the planet tainted by chaos and it becomes a fight for survival. The film is all CGI and used Image Metrics animated facial capture for the animations, and the film runs about 76 minutes. I of course enjoyed the movie because I'm a fan of Warhammer, but over all I thought the production value of the film was pretty good for having a lower budget.
