Can't say they've done the greatest job on it, but I still think I'll be buying it.

The premise is good, and it's about time a "decent" 40k movie was made. There were some made in the late 80's and early 90's that just didn't do 40k any justice because they lacked the special FX and computer generated animation that we have today. Voice-overs by the likes of John Hurt and Terence Stamp add to the credibility. I wonder how well it'll go over with hard-core 40k fans.

I don't really like it judging from the trailer. The animation is jerky and the concept of it just seems really cheesy.

Ultramarines*
The film is named Ultramarines, the game Space Marine. Normal mistake.
The graphics looked very poor in the beginning, they've gotten better, but I still don't know what to think of it
. It looks athmospheric though, and the voiceacting is pretty good, even if it feels...off.

I didn't notice this, I'll probably be getting it to watch it. Looks a bit DoW ish at times, especially as the bolters seem to have a higher rate of fire than they should, as with Dawn of War) but I think it will go down well seeing as nothing succesful has really come before this.

For a fan-made project, that looks fantastic~!
Good work lads!
There are a few games out there that need a movie (Halo, Mass Effect, and Warhammer 40K), and I'd really like to see some of them get made.

...It's not a fan movie, it's the official Warhammer 40k movie, the fanmade one was Damnatus.

Are. You. Fukken. Serious?
For an official production, that was pretty God-damn sub-par.
So mediocre in fact, I thought it was fan-made.
I will be torrenting this when it's out, but money for shit like that? Never.

Fastest shift of opinion ever.
Although you have to remember one thing, the guys who're making this don't have alot of money to work with, they don't exactly have a Pixar/Dreamworks budget. And GW (being the greedy ol' bastards they are) won't support them financially.

The movie obviously does not have Hollywood production standards, and as Squig said, for what GW and it's associate studios can muster it doesn't look bad. I have this on my list to get, but they've had some production/release issues so I am waiting till the end of the month before I get it. When I do, I'll PM you

From Wikipedia:
Preview screenings of Ultramarines: The Movie has received generally favorable responses from viewers. The film itself is seen favorably however the CGI and animations are seen as sub par.
The film has received generally favourable reviews. Some critics praised the story, saying that it is short but well paced and with good character interaction. While others said the story was straightforward, slow to get to the action and lacked the hyped 'mystery'. The music has been seen as a positive aspect of the film, with one reviewer saying that the score was "ominous and awe-inspiring by turn; never over-powering but lending a real atmosphere to the film". The film's attention to detail and loyalty to the Intellectual Property was also noted, with the film website Ain'tItCool.com saying "every piece of stained glass in the background tells a story, the equipment is everything you want to see in action and when the violence ramps up, it is bloody and brutal in all the ways you expect 40K to deliver.". The reviews of Dakkadakka and BellOfLostSoulsnet were critical of the CGI animation, with BellOfTheLostSouls saying "[They] don’t really manage to communicate their [character's] size or strength all that well."
BellOfLostSouls.net gave the film a rating of 4/5, saying "I would give this a solid 4/5. I might be giving it a bit of slack since it’s the first one of its kind, but honestly, I want to see more of this."
Not suprised about the criticism of the animation, but apart from that, they really seemed to like it.
