The Slovak prescreening of Warcraft movie, which took place on 7.6.2018 two days before the premiere, is successfully behind us and we couldn’t miss this event. In this short blog, we will give you our first feelings about this cult affair. Before the actual screening, we even met the lucky winners of our contest that was running all day on Instagram, and those of you who are in these waters will have noticed. Along with the tickets themselves, our winner also took home a nice wooden Stickerwood iPhone case.
Congratulations again and we hope they also took away the good feeling from the cinema like we did 🙂 Of course, each of us has our own view of movies and with this piece, it’s also strongly influenced by the viewer’s relationship to the games, the books and the whole Warcraft universe. We at Stickerwood grew up with Warcraft and so, since we are not film critics we will give our take this fantasy movie.
The claims of foreign sites are not uniform, suggesting that this film is certainly more of a treat for die-hard fans than for those who have never encountered the format in their lives. This was also the case, for example, with the recent premiere of Batman vs. Superman, where the plot was also based deeply on the original comics and the “casual” viewer couldn’t miss the small details that add to the film’s genius. The CGI and other effects also rate very well.
In the case of this film, the makers take a careful approach and try to draw everyone into the action, without distinction. However, it is necessary to be attentive while watching. The film is not stingy with the fight and action scenes, so you definitely won’t get bored. However, it’s definitely not just about the fighting. Many of the characters will have to make difficult decisions that will determine not only their own fate, but also the fate of entire civilizations.
In conclusion, we can only say that we definitely recommend that you go to the cinema and enjoy the gritty tale of two races meeting in this spectacular fantasy story. The movie will be mostly enjoyed by cult fans, but it will certainly appeal to newcomers as well. The Warcraft brand has been bringing fans together for more than 20 years, and we hope it continues to do so. If you want to try something more interactive, there’s certainly a useful Word of Warcraft Mobile Armory app for all Word of Warcraft players, which you can find on iTunes.
The iPhone and iPad app is for tracking and upgrading your characters. It gives you access to the auction hall , allows you to plan individual adventures and keeps you in touch with your Guild members. You can communicate with them and track their activities, so you’re always in the loop.
Congratulations to the winners of our Instagram competition for tickets to the prescreening 👍
