Revealing mistake: In the opening scenes, we see a very pregnant Draka reclining on a bed of animal hides as Durotan watches over her. In the extreme closeup, we see Draka twitch her lips, and her small tusks flex from side-to-side with her lips, instead of remaining firmly aligned with her jaw as they should.

This movie, while formulaic in many of its elements, would have deserved to reap better rewards for its ambition. Funnily enough, the CGI inhuman actors are by far the more intense, expressive and relatable part of the cast and the rendition of the orc society and conflicts is the most compelling part of the movie. Anything 'human' in this movie, from the non-stellar acting to the very generic videogame-like aesthetics of barely sketched locations, bland characters and laughable weaponry (truthful to the source material, I understand, but still awfully generic, oversized, 'fake') is underwhelming by comparison. The plot obviously aimed at setting up something larger, and the movie feels unfinished. Still well worth a watch, unless you are a fan of the videogame saga and lore: in that case you are probably going to feel disappointed by the potential squandered.
Trivia: When a human warrior is pulled from his horse and thrown to the ground by an orc during the first battle between the orcs and the humans, he yells a Wilhelm scream.
