Its quite bad on there part really on their part. Dont they know heresy grows from illdness.
eldar > space marines
Get out of this thread, and buy the Horus Heresy novels and i dare you to say that again.
I rang them to complain, the lad pleaded with me:
"I'm innocent!"
I don't need to tell you what my reply was...... *

to be fair the post has been garbage of late, i had a parcel turn up on Friday thats been in the RM system for 10 days
Well I have to say I enjoyed that! Some really great sequences and was good to finally see space marines on film. Wasn't perfect though, and Sean Pertwee really doesn't have the kind of voice I'd ascribe to a space marine, but on the whole it was a good first movie. Now I'd like to see some real money put behind a 40k film to see what they can deliver.
I'm beginning to loose hope.
Ive heard nothing at all regarding shipping and dispatch. I've even followed the procedure they put on the site, this was about 4 days ago, and have heard nothing.
All of my friends who have had the confirmation of dispatch e-mail have not yet recieved their DVD's, but this is not the fault of Codex Pictures.

I think someone has been telling fibbs as to when these things were posted.
Its the 21st now and nothing - thats 11 days and 9 working days since the email - even sent 2nd class it should have been here by now.
And the weather is an excuse IMO - if I can have something delivered to me in West Wales from Edinburgh within 5 days I don't see why a litte DVD has taken twice as long.

erm... You are aware of the tiny atmospheric incident that has been occuring in these here British Isles over the last 3 weeks?? perhaps you should look out the window or watch the news every now and again
Well after nearly losing ope, mine has arrived!
Really enjoyed the first viewing, i think they did what they could within their budget, and it's not just all about blowing stuff up.
Lets hope this will lead to more productions, Lord Dante in a scrap with lots of Orks sounds like a plan....

Just finished watching it, i have to say it was pretty good. The story was well made by the best WH40K author Dan Abnettt
It was pretty gory in parts, but i think it should have been a lot more darker and get slapped with an 18 rating.
Still really enjoyed it and i hope they make more.

*SPOILERS*
Watched Ultramarines last night and I have to say for a first attempt they should be proud of themselves.
Its a bit short, its not take your breath away animation and there are a few long pauses. BUT, the animation is more than acceptable and although the eyes have that "dead" look about them ALL animation like this has the same problem (Final Fantasy, Polar Express) The pauses are noticeable but nothing like the scale of the some Anime films. Evangelion has some legendary pauses with what looks like a frozen picture, UM does have pauses or at least silence but the characters are at least still moving. The one thing I would say is the backgrounds look a bit iffy in places.
Story itself? Well it doesn't explain anything so if you don't have even a rudimentary understanding of the 40K world your going to struggle although this clearly for fans only - it would take a 2 hour film just to explain the fluff.
Theres some question marks over one sqaud escaping alive where a company of Imperial Fists takes a complete shoeing but it is by design that they escape. Again, to explain more would have taken too much time. a lot of Dan Abnett books have a "10 Vs 10000" theme so I'm not sure why fans are surprised the same occurs here.
The packaging etc is first rate and really well presented and IMO worth the £30.
My only gripe was the DVD itself - it whines in my Bluray drive. Other DVDs and Blurays are fine but the UM one makes this irritating whine noise. Had the sound through my surround which drowned it out though. Be interested to here if others find the same - the disc itself kinda feels a bit thicker???
