One of my favorite parts is how well it shows scale. The planes into leviathan into drop pods into the pods landing and Zerg emerging from them is an amazing way of showing how terrifying and unstoppable the Zerg swarm is when it comes to devour a world.

The closest cinematic to this one in the Starcraft universe is the Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void trailer. It's comparable in quality, although less mass-appeal and a bit more "fan-service-y" since it builds gameplay elements a player would understand into the traile. But yah, the visuals and framing are just gorgeous
This was one of my favorite childhood trailers! You should watch the last StarCraft 2 trailer “Legacy of the Void” it’s great too!
Scale was the point! I love your reaction. It's so satisfying
The Lore and story behind is really nice too.
I'm not specialist but the woman is in the center of this SC2 chapter. She's a woman human soldier betrayed by a general and then infected by the swarm(alien ennemy of human). she climb the swarm hierarchy to be the Queen and come back to human nation for revenge. And then captured by humans to be desinfected(last scene) but even desinfected she will stay between swarm and humanity and will fight only for her and use swarm and/or humans rebels to take over human governement.
To clean this up a little... and then expand upon it a lot:
Sarah Kerrigan was no ordinary soldier, she was a ghost - a special forces assassin with psychic powers. She was the right hand of Arcturus Mengsk in the rebel organization, the Sons of Korhal, though she was also the very assassin that killed his father... and Mengsk knew it, eventually confronting her with the information, though she pledged her loyalty to him. The Zerg were relatively new to humanity, but the government had been experimenting on ones they had captured and found they were drawn to psychic emissions and thus created technology to emulate them and weaponize the swarm to their own ends - Mengsk got this technology and used it against the Terran Confederation, but on one such mission to protect the device, he sent Kerrigan and ultimately left her to die by alien hands as revenge for the killing of his father. This act had consequences - not only did the Zerg not kill Kerrigan, but his betrayal of his second-in-command turned many of his followers away from him, including Kerrigan's lover, Jim Raynor. With the fall of the Terran Confederacy, Mengsk established the Terran Dominion with himself as its emperor.
The Zerg Overmind could sense the overwhelming level of psychic potential within Kerrigan and decided to make her into something special, something capable of opposing the control of the overwhelmingly powerful Dark Xel'Naga that had secretly been dominating the Zerg swarm. She was mutated with the same power as the Zerg cerebrates, elevated intelligences that acted as commanders for the Overmind, but she was allowed to retain fully free will. When the Overmind was killed, Kerrigan fully assumed control of almost half of the entire Zerg swarm, with the other half being controlled by the cerebrates that opposed her and were forming a new Overmind. When the United Earth Directorate invaded the sector, the pieces moved into place and Kerrigan began a long campaign of manipulation that turned all of the other races into pawns - in the end, the new Overmind and all of the cerebrates that stood against her were eliminated, she obliterated the Directorate's forces, and she pushed back both the Terrans and the Protoss from Zerg space... she was the ruler of all she surveyed. This is where StarCraft 1 and it's expansion, Brood War, ends. As the final cinematic comes to a close, she states that her unlikely allies shall be given a reprieve, for she will test their resolve and strength in time, and they will all be hers in the end. The truth is that the influence of the Dark Xel'Naga, Amon, drives her as it did the original Overmind and is a force for bringing about apocalypse.
StarCraft 2 is broken into three games that each focus on one of the three playable races. Wings of Liberty is first and follows Jim Raynor as he is forced to confront the shadow of his past, his former lover and now Queen of Blades, Sarah Kerrigan. Raynor is now an outlaw and leads a rebel group that opposes Mengsk, and the plot starts with him just ramping up the intensity of the rebellion, but when the Zerg attack after years of staying of staying within their territory, Jim changes his priorities since Kerrigan is doing just as she promised, and this time she's leading from the front. Jim and his allies eventually corner her and are able to use an ancient alien artifact to mostly eliminate the Zerg mutations and, unknown to them, the influence of the Dark Xel'Naga - the only sign still left are the tendrils that have replaced her hair. The flash at the end of this cinematic is Kerrigan waking up at a science station after having been in a coma - Jim just wants to be with her, but she is full of guilt for all the things she did as the Queen of Blades and she knows they'll never have peace as long as Mengsk is alive... he'll hunt them both. The station is attacked, the two of them get separated, and a later broadcast would declare Jim Rayon as captured and executed, leading Kerrigan to seek out to regain control of the Zerg to eliminate Mengsk once and for all.
@@Dreznin it may have been retconned but she did not have "full free will" in SC 1 she was just too "free" for the cerebrates liking, and in SC:BW she basically confirms that the Overmind had backdoor access that he used to control her, and that the new over mind would also have that access if it could stop getting lobotomized for like 5 damn minutes by every race in the setting.
(it really had it rough if you think about it xD)
@Dreznin "to take revenge for the murder of his father". I think it's more complicated. IMHO, Mengsk achieved his goal (killing the Terran Confederacy) and Kerrigan was becoming more of a problem than an asset. At this time, she became very close to Raynor (who is not a big fan of Mengsk) and began to express doubts about Mengsk's decisions and actions.
He couldn't let his greatest tool - an extremely dangerous tool - turn against him.
If there was an element of revenge, it would rather be for the assassination of Dorothy Mengsk, his little sister (it wasn't Kerrigan but she was part of the assassin squad), the only member of his family he was close.
That said, the rest seems good!
Legacy of the Void is my personal favorite.
Favorite part of this whole trailer is at 2:25 when the marines are being rushed by the zerg swarm, you can see the gunfire slowly coming to an end as they get completely overrun.
This was insane! You could feel the fear and helplessness! And they had some sick weapons and mechs
Funny part is that those bugs are actually good guys
Blizzard cinematics team done it again. If only we can say the same to their game design team.
So sick to see the Battlecruiser fall. Enormous
What is that?
@@dizastro5437 what is what ?
That’s a sick hoodie my guy!!!
I think we kind of overlook just how absolutely terrifying a zerg invasion would be because we are the zerg in this expansion but if you think about it for a second...? Billions of hyperevolved organisms, each with a specialized task, purposefully designed to fill a very specific niche, and all with the same singular goal: kill everything that's not zerg. If they gain a foothold and start spawning hatcheries then its straight up over because no matter how many you kill, more will keep coming. And they wont stop until the entire planet is zerg.
Blizzard is insane, have you seen the "Diablo 4 Official Cinematic Release Date Trailer" i didn't like the game but damn...that trailer made me want to play it. blizzard has been making some insane cinematics for a long time. kid me watching StarCraft and diablo cinematics. I've always been a fan of the art
also side note your volume was a little loud vs wanting to feel and hear the trailer too. I couldn't hear the same things you were hearing, for the initial trailer(but still want to hear you!)
It was Blizzard's good old days.
You should watch the World of Warcraft ones
Appreciate the analysis !
Okay!! I’ll boot them up this week! Anything in particular you’d recommend?
@@Josiahx Well definitely the th-cam.com/video/HInmEcbFyF0/w-d-xo.html lich king one :D
There is quite a backstory to this character since it's a beloved character from the game Warcraft III and it's a character we follow through the whole game, but I believe the story of the cinematic is already enough information :)
Welcome to the 'youtube react' genre :)
If you are up for a good story - there is a compilation of all the in-game cinematics with CGI ones th-cam.com/video/sWCkohkDmIs/w-d-xo.html
They are worthy to check too because of really unusual camera work that might be appreciated by you as a filmmaker (but, uh, because there are made on in-game engine, they are not CGI)
Check out "War of the Spark Official Trailer - Magic: The Gathering"
It's not scifi, more magical, but still it's very well done
Starcraft 2 Legacy of the void is even better
SC2 still the GOAT.
Needs a follow up showcasing that 3rd race as the game continues
And yeah, it is inspiring.
