Summary
In the grim darkness of the far future, a genetically engineered warrior who has served on the front lines for centuries confronts his legacy, as his squad hunts down a mutant sorcerer.
Our Take
This is a heavy, moody hour that leans hard into the Warhammer aesthetic, and honestly it works better than most video game adaptations manage. The action is brutal and the atmosphere sells the hopelessness of the setting, though the introspective monologue stuff drags a bit in the middle. Still, fans of the franchise will get exactly what they came for, and newcomers won’t be lost.
