It isn't Tolkien. It's fan fiction, borrowing Tolkien's words and names but telling a story not in harmony with Tolkien's creation. It reminds me more of Gene Roddenberry or Hubbard's Dune. The story not so much, leaning more toward darkness than light. Orcs don't breed but are created from mud, and they definitely do not long for peace. They are bred for war and chaos and destruction, not creating. Sometimes, the storyline jumps around so much, back in time and forward and place to place, it can be a bit confusing, even for someone used to the Sci-Fi jumping about. The sets and costumes are incredible.
