The scripted scenario of Warcraft opens with, looking to escape from his dying world, the orc shaman Gul’dan utilizes dark magic to open a portal to the human realm of Azeroth. Supported by the fierce fighter Blackhand, Gul’dan organizes the orc clans into a conquering army called the Horde. Uniting to protect Azeroth from these hulking invaders are King Llane, the mighty warrior Anduin Lothar and the powerful wizard Medivh. As the two races collide in a duelling warfare, leaders from each side start to question if war is the only answer.
Director Duncan Jones has made a spell binding movie and keeps the viewers hooked till the end and the credit for this also goes to his entire technical team especially those who have handled the camera, the set decor, the costumes, the make – up, the prosthetics, the special effects etc. All the actors have performed well, but a special noteworthy mention must be made of Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell & Daniet Wu.
The hulky beings of the orc’s clan, their features and some of their war scenes with human beings appear so bizzare that it proves to be repulsive to a point of no return.
The last scene of Warcraft in which a hulky female orc places her tiny baby orc in a basket and puts it in a waterfall a la an indian mythology scenario almost spells the return of the franchise of Warcraft.
