Identify - StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void Opening Cinematic, Blizzard

This is Blizzards opening cinematic to their StarCraft 2 game. I have never actually played a Blizzard game, so I'm watching it with no prior context, this by no means i dislike the animation, i think the animation is incredible, because it aims towards a certain level of realism but still uses exaggeration and extreme character designs where the characters don't appear to have any coherence to each other, but the detail that goes into the character design along with the smooth animation is amazing. I find the action happening in the animation to be very reminiscent of stick animation fights, where there is fast paced action with slow motion and extreme poses but still making use of camera angles and details in backgrounds.

If there was anything that i dislike is that i know that the games graphics aren't quite at the same level as film animations. i hope that, however, in the future game graphics rise to be equal in immersion as the film animations that are shown in the trailer.
