"Ultramarines" managed to catch my attention, despite the fact that I never played the game in which the film was inspired, mostly because, this is one of the very few CGI animated film that wasn't aimed to kids, being way more ambitious and darker than other productions of this kind.
Still, "Ultramarines" is not perfect: The animation is uneven, some details seem somewhat neglected (Like for example, the eyes of the characters, which seem totally devoid of any kind of emotion) some parts of the story were slow and boring (And a bit confusing) On the other side, the voice acting was pretty good, and the music score gives this an epic atmosphere. Also, I liked the fact that in this film weren't any single kind of annoying cliché that are some common in other films (Animated or not) something that makes this flick way more interesting and attractive, at least for me.
Even when this title doesn't have a spectacular animation (Like, for example, movies like "Beowulf" or "Final Fantasy: Advent Children") I still found this to be good and worth-watching. Personally I found it to be a decent action flick, that doesn't live up for the whole potential that it had, but which is much better than almost all the other movies inspired in video-games.
