Matt Hawkins I think you're completely missing the point. They said "movie of this caliber" as in the caliber of the trailer and its CGI goodness with its epic war scenes, not of the entire storyline of Starcraft which is pretty craptastic. That I can agree on. Though really, I'm not going to have an argument over this. We can agree to disagree if you don't get what I'm trying to point out to you.

[@matthawkins123]

For those who are interested why Viking made a landing here's the answer you were looking for, when he flew above he saw that Ultralisk was charging up too fast, and since he landed and stopped him a bit, he continued on a slower pace, he gave time for the tanks to make final preparations

of all the cinimatics and trailers out there, I keep coming back to watch this one! It is just the epitome of epic sci-fi action.

[@deeya]

I have never played this game, RTSs has never been my forte. I freeze under duress a lot. However, I know Starcraft II lore about a well as any player. The storylines are just great, and the voicework and cinematics just add to that. The characters are also engaging, they even manage to pull character development out of the Zerg, like Zagara. Would've love to see more of her as Overqueen after the End War, heard she encounters the rogue Broodmother Niadra (a storyline everyone expected to see conclude in LotV but didn't). Dying to know what happens between the new boss and the QOB loyalist.

yeah, sure, but i said they use PIXAR technology, but not the same CGI style, they change the gometry and the number of polygons, really complex matrix for the colours, all of that comes from PIXAR technology software development (and hardware why not?) tons of investigation.

[@NakedAvanger]
