Download WoW's First In-Game Cinematic

I'm taking my time leveling as I work through the Wrath of the Lich King content. I am thoroughly enjoying the in-depth quest chains, which contain so much lore that sometimes I feel like I'm watching a movie or reading a novel instead of playing a game.

Yesterday I completed part of an absolutely amazing quest chain (in my humble opinion) in Dragonblight, and I'm not even to the epic conclusion of it yet. You may want to avoid these quest links if you don't want any spoilers, but without giving anything away, the chain starts with the quest Into Hostile Territory (at least for Alliance) and continues from there. Once I hit the quest Return to Angrathar, I enjoyed a feature brand new to WoW with WotLK: in-game cinematics. And oddly enough, Blizzard posted the cinematic on its official Web site yesterday, as well.

The cinematic, entitled "The Wrath Gate," can be viewed or downloaded here. Warning: it contains story spoilers! Don't watch it unless you've completed the quest or don't mind having the story ruined. Either way, it will be there for you to watch or re-watch at your leisure. So, how does everyone feel about the addition of in-game cinematics?
