The launch is worldwide towards the end of May, different countries
get different days (I think we're early June in the UK), so nobody's
seen it yet, but there are a number of trailers that can be found
online, I imagine a quick Google will turn some up. Looks kinda cool,
but the trailers give such short glimpses of scenes that you can't
tell much from them, just get a vague idea of people and places!

It's set in the time of Warcraft 1, where the orcs first invade
Azeroth, but does differ a bit from the known story (not surprisingly
as I believe the original game really focussed on the human side of it
and didn't give the orcs much of a point of view), so it's mainly
involving people like Anduin Lothar, King Llane, Medivh, Khadgar,
Durotan, Orgrim Doomhammer, Gul'dan, etc - I guess many of the same
orcs as we've seen in WoD, the humans are more legendary names of the
past :-)

I never normally watch films but have to make an exception for this
one... not sure I'll get over my dislike of crowds enough to go to the
cinema though, so hopefully it won't take too long to reach DVD or
some kind of online viewing!
