Thought people might interested, imo I don't see the movie doing the game any justice, there is just too much content to fit into a two hour movie.
What do you think of it?

Good.
I hope a Mass Effect film never gets made. Video game movies in general have a very poor track record, and I doubt that Mass Effect is going to get a Star Wars or Avatar budget. If a Mass Effect film is ever made, it is going to be made on the cheap with bad CGI, hack writers and a director and actors largely drawn from Hollywood's C and D list.
Warcraft's story progresses mostly through cutscenes (at least in Warcraft 3) and had rather limited dialog. This frees up lots of room for better adaptation into a short film.
It is harder for Mass Effect as it has waaaaay more exposition and dialog going about that ultimately forces screen writers to start cutting out so much that a Mass Effect fan might feel alienated.
In short, it makes sense that Warcraft is easier to adapt into a film. If you aren't convinced about it, just use Tolkien's middle earth (Lord of the Rings) as a point into Warcraft's favor.
It will be hard to do if they insist in adapting the trilogy. They should just do like the books and HQs, tell a story inside the ME universe, there's no reason to tell Shepard's story again. ME fans will love anything ME related that is well done and build upon the lore. People that don't play ME doesn't even know who Shepard is and just want to see a good movie.
IMO The First Contact War would be perfect. People that don't know the game can learn about the ME universe from humanity point of view, showing the events that lead to the war, like the discovery of the mars ruins, mass effect, the mass relays and exploring the galaxy into we finally find the Turian and sh*t hit the fan.
ME would be way better as an HBO/Showtime/Starz etc show. Relegating even one of these games to an even 3 hour movie is criminal. Imagine Eden Prime, Feros, Noveria, Liara rescue, Ilos, Climax, each relegated to 30 minutes, with no further exposition or exploration of relationships.
Hell GRR Martin recently was quoted mentioning Game of Thrones might end with a movie. WHY would you want to do that? Cramming so much into a 2.5ish hr moviegoing experience when you could have a 12+hr season is just silly.

Maybe because ending movie isn't mutually exclusive with 12+hr seasons in this case?
I can easily imagine that if Song of ice and fire would end with some epic battle, 1 hour long episode should be considered to limiting and dividing in two part will lead to losing of pace.
True, and in fact a big budget LOTR style end movie would be a nice narrative cap to the series. He would obviously have to write it as such though.
The bigger problem is logistics though - even if all 12 million viewers of the show who regularly tune in go watch the movie (which is unlikely, ever single one I mean), that's 120 million dollars, which is about what the movie would cost anyway. Add to that a $40 million marketing budget (the avg. for a big-scale film) and any studio would be reluctant to greenlight this. I'd be there, just not sure any studio is willing.
Back to the ME talk - I call bullsht. I think the studio/writers got lazy and put it on the backburner (the movie).
I hope they never make it.
Let games be games.
I used to disagree with you big time but the more I delve into movie, books, TV and games which are narrative heavy, I realize a compressed version of this game into a movie would be a huge disservice. There's just to much story to cram into even a 10 hour big budget 6 year trilogy
The genesis comics didn't do a good job compressing the plot of ME games as they left out a lot of key plot points (Feros), the movie will really be no better.
Yeah Genesis was crazy short though. In fact when I played Genesis 2 before ME3 I was wishing it was quicker, but that's because at that point I knew the story inside out.

Even then they could have done a better job.
