 I stumbled across a movie yesterday on Netflix On Demand that I'd never heard of before and wasn't rated very well called PANDORUM. I gave it a shot because I was looking for something to play in the background as I painted minis.

Turns out that it has a real 40k feel to some elements of it. Just imagine a movie about being aboard a Space Hulk that is infested with the barbarian cousins of Dark Eldar and you have a good idea of what this movie is like.

As with so many SF movies it doesn't completely live up to its potential but it is an interesting story and worth a watch. It's good RPG inspiration if nothing else. Also, it's available on Netflix on Demand and if you're like me you're probably always looking around for something new and worthwhile to watch there (since I've watched all of the really good stuff already).

Here's the trailer:

Hey, and as long as I'm suggesting stuff. Check out this original web series from Hulu:

Another one that's good for RPG inspiration. In fact, I think that there was an RPG with almost this exact premise back in the day.
