Overview: Based on the internationally successful tabletop miniature wargame, 'ULTRAMARINES: A WARHAMMER 40,000 MOVIE' marks the first ever feature film of Games Workshop’s iconic property.

DVD Verdict: 'Warhammer 40,000' was created by Games Workshop back in 1987 with a rich and textured backstory mixed with miniatures, wargaming, and roleplaying game elements. This combination has gained a well-deserved worldwide following over the last 20+ years resulting in many novels, supplements, competitions, and even computer games.

'Ultramarines: A Warhammer 40,000 Movie' (a 70-minute sci-fi thriller CGI event) focuses on a small group of Ultramarines - the best of the best - led by their seasoned commander Severus (voiced by Terence Stamp). Many members of the squad are new and don't yet understand the ravages of war, but are ready for the chance to prove themselves on the field of combat. One of them, Proteus (Sean Pertwee) is even more anxious to prove himself worthy to lead his own squad to victory.

The squad heads to a distant planet to answer a distress call from a full company of Imperial Fists stationed there. When they arrive, they find the bodies of dead marines everywhere. What could have possibly destroyed an entire company of hardened soldiers? As they investigate further, they encounter the priest Carnak (voiced by John Hurt) and his guardian Nidon (Johnny Harris).
