I have loved the Warhammer universe with a tender love since I was 12 years old. That’s when I first got my hands on the Dawn of War disc, which a friend gave me, and this friend took it from another friend who stole the disc from the store: 3 But that’s not about that now. After playing the game I was simply amazed by this universe. For many years I collected experiments and information about “Waha” and simply swallowed any information about it. And then the day came… that day cursed by the Emperor when my torrent finished downloading “Ultramarines”..

And from the first minutes the cartoon simply amazed me… HOW COULD THE SCREENWRITER BE SUCH A MORON?!
Oh yes, a cool and pretentious phrase greets us at the beginning: “… and the greatest of the orders – the Ultramarines”… how could you write something like that??! Of course, I understand that the Ultramarines are the most famous in fiction books, but why is he the greatest order?? Okay… let’s forgive this, I, as an ardent fan of Vakha, simply could not miss this. But it’s only the fifth minute. There’s still a whole movie ahead, I thought. But let’s look at what lies ahead.

The first thing that catches your eye is the graphics. Don’t think that I’m such a graphic wanker, but everything looks so sad that it’s disgusting to look at. Although we tried to keep the effects and style at the same level, but as always it didn’t work out. And the faces… oh Emperor, why did you give the Ultramarines such dull faces without facial expressions and with a complete absence of implants? Or maybe it’s the work of Chaos. But you can forget about this too.

Something else is striking, namely https://noidverificationcasinos.co.uk/btc-casinos/ the attitude of the Ultramarines (fans, get ready!) to their… FIRST FIGHT! If I’m not mistaken, then before receiving the Space Marine armor, the candidate must serve in the reconnaissance forces, and knowing the world of Vakha, one can assume that they could not remain without a fight, well, NO WAY. They at least had to witness death in all its glory. And judging by the dialogues, the amount of vanity and pride in the recruits is so great that they need to be handed over to the Inquisition.
And how they die… this deserves special applause. A space marine with at least 2 hearts and a suit with a life support system manages to die from one or two hits. Cool auntie, let’s go! Well, I think we can remain silent about the fact that out of 100 shots I actually reach the target with five rounds, this is the problem with all such projects.

-I thought I saw something!
-It seemed to you.
-I thought I heard something!
-You’ve got nerves.
-It seemed to me that a demon had just flown over us and killed one of us!
-Are you sure or did you just imagine??

And you know what, everything I described above is THINGS! The best part is ahead, in the story. So, our brave squad of recruits, led by the Captain and the Apothecary (the most adequate character), on board their ship on which they are apparently alone (a dozen people, not counting 2 techno priests and pilots… and this is for a ship on which at least a hundred fighters should be based), their small group lands on the planet over which a warpstorm is raging to find out where the hundred fighters of another order have gone. Now attention, having learned that they were all killed, they decide… to move on! HOW SO?! A DOZEN of them are going to meet the force that killed the Space Marines and the entire Imperial Guard that was based on the planet! They didn’t even think to notify headquarters! My cry bricks. And of course, no one has heard of such a thing as subordination, and why?? After all, throughout the cartoon they emit phrases clearly saturated with heresy for which the Captain had to violently hit them in the cabbage soup.

A cool and brutal artifact on which the paratroopers took the oath at the beginning, out of some fear it is based on a ship with a minimal garrison. Everything was done right!

Next we see a series of terribly dull and chaotic events saturated with pathos and imbecility… well, to top it all off is the ending in which one of our “recruits” apparently receives the rank of Captain. HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN if he had to serve at least centuries before the rank of Captain is a mystery.

-There was a whole company here, and we were a reconnaissance detachment. We need to warn others!
-Yes, my dear, you are a coward! And we don’t give up! We know no fear! Well, quickly, let’s all go die!

The direction is dull to the point of impossibility, while watching the film you catch yourself thinking that you are not thinking about the film at all, but about something more interesting and there is a fierce desire to cut everything to hell. And you know what? If you still dare to watch this “masterpiece”, do not resist this desire. There wasn’t even a normal Warhammer swinger throughout the entire film..

Conclusion: the movie/cartoon is crap. If you remove all the attributes of Vakha from it, then there will be nothing left. At all. It’s unclear who this was made for. He will be disgusting and uninteresting to fans, but to non-fans and those who are not familiar with the universe, he will seem even more stupid than to those who are familiar. In general, watch at your own risk. (Although there are still people who like it and are happy that this is at least some kind of film adaptation of Vakha, but I’m not one of them.)
