Fast sell:

One of the most popular and successful wargame universes of all time, Warhammer 40,000 is explosively brought to life in this dazzling, blood-soaked CG animated movie featuring the vocal talents of Terence Stamp, John Hurt and Sean Pertwee.

Key talent:

Voice actors Terence Stamp (Smallville; Wanted), John Hurt (Merlin; Immortals; Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows; Doctor Who) and Sean Pertwee (Camelot; Devil’s Playground; Dog Soldiers), and screenwriter Dan Abnett (Games Workshop’s Black Library; Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy; 2000 AD).

Synopsis:

It is the 41st Millennium, and the only force that stands between humanity and alien hordes are the Space Marines. Genetically enhanced, clad in power armour and knowing no fear, they are the angels of death. And the greatest of them are the Ultramarines. But when a select squad of scarred veterans and raw recruits responds to a distant planet’s distress beacon, they discover that a horrific evil has been unleashed. Amidst a living nightmare of chaos, carnage, and daemonic fury, these steel battle-brothers must now survive the ultimate enemy: themselves.

We like it because:

It’s loud, it’s bloody, it has unfeasibly well-armoured Space Marines firing huge guns at anything that moves and features one of the most impressively fearsome villains we’ve seen in ages. Pure boy’s own, sci-fi escapism at its best.
