14 - X Protoss End ( Xel'Naga Temple )
15 - X Terran End ( UED News )
16 - X Zerg End ( Kerrigan wins, Dugalle dies )

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd have to go for 06 - Zerg 2 ( I can see the inspiration from Aliens, here ), then the 04 - Terran End ( really makes you proud of finishing the first campaign ), and finally 09 - Protoss 1 ( the music and cinematography are priceless in this one, too bad it's so short ).

I'd say the coolest is Zerg 2, its just awesome, it makes the zerg even cooler, and even the terrans get some awesomness from this scene. I loved the portrayl of the hyrdalisk too. Terran end, this is just awesome, and really gives you a feel of awe with the terrans, made my hours of furstration with New gettysburg, and my cheating on the last mission worth it. The zerg end would be next, it gave me a cinnematic feel for a zerg assualt. Plus i loved seeing all the units together. My last is the protoss end, it is the classic hero sacrifice and the music really did fit in, though if you play the credits before beating protoss you can hear the terran theme which is nice.

zerg 2 is obviously the best cinematic in starcraft. other than that i'd say the last brood war one, while the last protoss from the original and the first brood war tie in third place. both have great music

I don't know the right name for acctual cinematic, but it starts in human base, and with guard wakeing up his commender becouse he see a damaged dragoon.
Commander then ordered to kill that dragoon, and at the end of cinematic dragoon appear one by one throught some sorts of teleport, and destroying the whole human base.
Also the last one with protos in temple sacrificing himself is great.

You need to watch the cinematics in this starcraft animation to really appreciate Starcraft

Seriously though, considering it was probably done by a single person over a few days/weeks, its actually not too bad. But it really puts things into perspective. Can you imagine if starcraft 2 shipped with these animations? hehe


If your really bored you can watch the whole set!

Starcraft Animation 1: Reconnoiter
Starcraft Animation 2: The Return
Starcraft Animation 3: Alliance
Starcraft Animation 4: The Hunt
Starcraft Animation 5: Infestation

WHOA! NICE!
@bobi: i think thats the ambush cinematic from the protoss levels. its a great one

I hope there's a ton of cinematics in Starcraft II, so we can make a thread like this one again.

I'm tied between Zerg 2 and Protoss 2. I really like watching Terrans get owned and it is pulled off so wonderfully here.
After that comes X Protoss End, just because I love Protoss ownage even more. ^^

 

[FatAlbert]

they had to pwn in the movies, cause they sure didnt own in the field. Yeah but the movies were nice. I liked the whoole great sacrfice by tassadar, though i was worried because was the only protoss that actually understood the universe around him.

[ShaD0w HaRt]

It means exactly what you think it means...

 

[Merovingian]

oh. righhhhhhttt

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

I would just like to point out that you have yet to play against me online. Ever.
So until you can serve me up some SCV ownage, that cinematic is still awesome. Yeah for Zerg and Protoss killing Terrans!

 

[Merovingian]

Orz. i've never played ANYONE online. lol

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

That was directed at my brother, but you have no excuse either. Why am I not owning your noob ass on the net?!?! =P

 

[Merovingian]

cause...im afraid i would get owned...i mean...duh

 

[ShaD0w HaRt]

lol, it is a great learning experience to play online. Playing against human beings, you will see crazy things that no computer would ever think of.
