Decent animated flick

The problem with almost all the movies inspired in video-games is that most of them are boring, poorly made and, the worst part of it, don't have anything to do with the games in which those films were inspired in first place.

That's why I'm glad to see that "Ultramarines" is not that kind of film. Sure, the plot is kinda basic, the animation is somewhat stiff (Not to mention that the characters are practically expressionless) but at least, this movie had the heart in the right place: In other words, at least this film have something to with the universe of Warhammer 40000, and it's not like most of Hollywood movies inspired in video-games, that are filled with lots of stupid stuff, like an annoying comic relief, bland and stereotyped characters, dumb lines and horrible soundtracks...Fortunately, there is absolutely nothing on that in this, being focused in the action and in the characters.

Even when the CGI isn't very impressive and the first part of the story is pretty slow (Very slow) it still much better than things such as "Halo Legends" or "Dante's Inferno: An animated epic". And of course, it is much better than the atrocities made by Uwe Boll and Paul W.S. Anderson.
