What did you think about StarCraft Cinematics? I personally think they were Excellent and thats what inspired me to beat StarCraft and StarCraft : BroodWar Campaign so many times. Those computer graphics were so realistic it almost made me feel like they were filmed trough a video camera. Also, which one was your favourite cinematic? My favorite is the one where they enter a Science Vessel in space to plant a nuke in it and they find out that it's full of Zerg...
I thought they were very good, especially for the time when StarCraft came out. My personal favorite is either the Brood War ending cinematic or the crash of Norad II
At the time I just wanted to play the game to see some marines own the shit out of some Zerg. The cinematics were good for the time, but they suck compared to todays standards.

For the time, they were excelent. And now, they still are

Their excellent and still is, so you can hope that SC2 cinimatics will be better.

Ya, the only reason I'm gona buy SC Ghost is to watch the Cinematics

Also, when you go on the blizzard website and go to the Starcraft store theres a Cinematics DVD, it says its 32 minutes long but all the cinematics put together only last like 5 minutes tops, any idea what else is on that DVD, like extra cinematics never showed in the game or something?

Well they must be a really big blizzard nerd to get that!
I thought the graphics were great, I loved the battle cinematics. The beginning of BW where you have all the marines and bats fighting the lings and the terran gets owned, then it shows you the BC with DuGalle and stuff, that was cool.
The ending cinematics were cool too. I like the Original SC one at the end where Tassadar sacrifices himself and all.
And when the group of marines went into the science vessel to like detonate a bomb or something and they got owned by I think hydras, that was cool.
Also I think when one of the terran outposts like kills a dragoon and then gets raped by a massive recall.
That's all I can think of right now.
They were good, but they should've made more for Broodwar. In the original one, they had a cinematic for like every 3-4 missions or something.
I also like the end of Starcraft the best. With the Interceptors chaseing the Mutalisks into the hull of the carrier (I think). They did have the potential to add so many more Cinematics into BroodWar, I wonder why they didn't ........?
It would be awesome if they created a movie based on all the events of SC and BW, like turn every mission into part of the movie, that would be awesome.
Oh I forgot about the part with the mutalisks in like the hull of the carriers, that was sweet.
they were good best one was the first cinematic in broodwar with those marines and that serious discussion between Dugalle and Stukov with that throwing of the cigar "you've seen nothing (accent)" and then the ending of it when the marine is about to get owned by a whole bunch of lings awesome.
You can tell an obvious improvment between StarCraft and BroodWar cinematics. Then an improvement between BroodWar and WarCraft III cinematics (really big improvement). I think that SC2 cinematics will be movie-quality, at least.
The cinematics were great. The people didn't look real at all (unless the future is full of screwed up faces), but were awesome. I really like the Zerg infested science vessel one where the guy's head get's impaled by one of the Hydralisk scythes. Man, that one was cool

They were good at the time, but weak compared to other games today.
Uh..Duh? Considering Games today were made like 7 years after Starcraft !?¿
Used to look at them very much when I was younger. Completed the campaign with cheats though

Still working to complete it without, slow working
Excelent of course, it's a 1998 game, and in SC:Ghost, WoW, WC3 has real life looking cinematics.
They were well done since SC came out almost 10 years ago...
I'm a fan of the Brood War opening cinematic, it always gets me kind of emotional.

I liked them. Although I agree, more should have been added for broodwar. And the graphics weregood for that time. Now the graphics you have a hard time telling if it was the real thing. I just happened to watch the cinematics of Age of Empires, the first one. They were good for their time but

they are so bad now.
I think the quality of what's in the movie should exceed how it's shown. The best is probably the last movie in BW, and the conversation between Dugall and Stukov in the opening movie.

Quallity? SC is is 7 years old, they can't make real cinematics like WC3/WOW/SC:G around 2002-2006.
How much better can it get and what good would it do anyway? I personally like the feel of the cinematics. And by quality I think he means about the content of the actual cinematics, like what they are actually showing, and I agree with that.
The SC Cinematics are good, my fav is the one in the original zrerg campaigns where the marines go on the Science Vessel
