Cut it some slack, it's an RTS. When have you ever seen an RTS with such brilliant detail as this other than in StarCraft II?

Also, my ad in front of the actual movie was for Torchlight. It was talking about how it was the most anticipated RPG of the year, when I had never heard of it. So much for that! :P

Dawn of War 2 is not an RTS. They just call it an RTS because they are delusional. It's really an RTT; just like Company of Heroes and the first Dawn of War.

There is no base building, resource management, strategy, micro-heavy gameplay or other elements typical of an RTS. There is instead a narrow focus on tactical gameplay. Thus, Real-Time Tactics.

As for good animations, there's plenty of RTS games and RTS-wannabes with decent animations.

Mesk is completely correct. Me and terranup16 have gone over this many times and that is the general consensus. Thats also probably why I don't enjoy DoW2 and CoH even though I've played them.

Still the chaos look real cool, if there was a race that would make me want to play DoW2 it would be them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And that's the problem, my friend:  As I always told, appearances can be decieving.
