Last Updated on July 31, 2021

The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people, and their home. Get your first look at magic in action with the international trailer for WARCRAFT!

It could be the fact that I've seen a lot of this footage a dozen times, but the film is actually starting to look better, at least from an aesthetic standpoint. I like that Duncan Jones is not afraid to use color in his palette, so I'm hoping that a lot of those story elements that made his previous work (SOURCE CODE, MOON) so good is just being saved for the actual film. Hell, at least the eagles in this fantasy flick are willing to lend our heroes a ride…

WARCRAFT hits theaters stateside on June 10, 2016.
