In Warcraft III they did add formations and formation movement to the game, and I expect to see it in this game as well. That movie was probably made form the point of view of making as much "action" as possible.. and a "pretty" fight. Not necessarily the best strategic fight/attack. Starcraft and Warcraft III alpha/beta shots also were very primitive graphically to what finally was released. Also, I would never call Starcraft "cartoonish". Warcraft? YES. World of Warcraft? YES. Starcraft? No. Dark and gritty is more like it. Not very cartoonish.
