Story : 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.

If the trailer of Warcraft gave you the faintest hope that the film will be a welcome break from Hollywood's usual fare of uninspired screen adaptations of video games, by the climax you'll know it was all wishful thinking. The over-plotted narrative takes you through the troubled lives of orcs who are forced to wage a war against humans.

The film wastes too much time conjuring up the parallel worlds. There is magic, wizards, spells, majestic birds and mystical places. Director Duncan Jones is every bit sincere, doing his best to find the film an emotional anchor. There is a tender story between an orc and his pregnant wife right at the beginning which starts off this tale on a moving note. But the earnestness wears out soon.
