“How Do You Recognize the Taint of Chaos?”
This is an actual line spoken in the CG Warhammer 40,000 movie Ultramarines. That should be all you need to know about this new full trailer for the project, which looks like an early Xbox 360 videogame — but, unlike that Warhammer videogame named Space Marine, is not a videogame and thus doesn’t have any interactivity to distract from the graphics of ugly people shooting uglier people. I don’t want to knock it too hard, since I think that any kind of Warhammer movie is in theory a Good Thing, and better this than nothing. And yet… I think I recognize the Taint of Chaos. Some kind of taint, anyways. (Via First Showing)
