| This Is How The Halo Movie Should Be Made (by zack_wall) |
| A few months ago when the first trailer came out for the web series, "Forward Unto Dawn", I was beside myself with excitement. I watched the trailer an easy 5-10 times, and then periodically checked back to view it again, in case I missed something the first time around. I've been a fan of the Halo series since day one of Halo C.E., and it's been really disappointing to not have a Halo movie I can feel proud of. Since high school, I've followed the hype surrounding the script writing and screenplay mock-ups of a potential Halo film, but they never panned out into <more> |
| First two episodes are superb! (by je2643) |
| Well, since I am another halo fan playing since CE on my pc many years ago, like all the other halo fans, i have been salivating at the prospect of a halo movie. Shows like Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe and Battlestar Galactica the remake have shown us that high caliber special effects and great acting can go hand in hand on the small screen. The first two eps of Halo 4: Forward unto Dawn live up to that expectation.This web series is tight - even though each is the equivalent of a half hour of live TV less the commercials we already have excellent character development, and a <more> |
| An superb standalone series. (by augustomillevolte-518-456122) |
| As a lifelong Halo fan, be it books or games, I am not disappointed. The 10/10 is not for it being Halo, but for it being an amazing standalone series in its own right. As far as Sci-Fi goes this is top notch material and I would love it without the history the Halo universe and myself already have. The acting is great, the story is great, the special effects? I'm sure you can guess. The overall production value of this is extraordinary and I am very confused as to why it has not reached a wider audience. I am thrilled that Microsoft and 343 put the time and effort in to create something <more> |
| Very Impressed (by thedarkknight-89) |
| I'm aware enough of the Halo Universe to pick up on most of the references in the series, but beyond the fact that it provides an excellent live action piece of an excellent game series, it's simply a great piece of storytelling all it's own.The people reviewing this saying it's 'boring for the first 55 minutes' or 'cheap and generic' must be expecting heavy action and constant explosions. And those people will never be satisfied with character pieces, which this most certainly relies heavily upon.The arc of the characters is phenomenal, and their trepidations <more> |
| What a surprise (by simonwest80) |
| Well i was VERY surprised, i had heard nothing about it and when i noticed it was live action, i face palmed myself and said this is going to be awful with terrible CGI aliens and it will make me cry but having watched every game related film i thought why not?Well i will say that the first half is a little slow but not that bad - this i suppose is the less violent Halo version of Full Metal Jacket in which you follow a group of cadets through their training, just as our "hero" has found a way out of the Corp that he detests aliens attack, and this is were it really kicks off, and <more> |
| This just blew my expectations away. (by nuumit) |
| This just blew my expectations away! The beginning can seem abit long without anything happening for some, but i did'nt mind because i did'nt had much high expectations since so many game-to-movie had failed so much, but this one... Let me just say if they made it to a series to buy on DVD i will buy them all. If this was ever made into a longer series it would fill up a big hole everyone is missing since star trek or battlestar galactica like series, witch no one has dared to make in long time - too long if you ask me. And the fact that Halo game series has so many fans would only <more> |
| Not a bad introduction to the Halo universe (by zindzijade) |
| As a fan of all things sci-fi, I was really eager to see what a live- action representation of the hallowed game would look like. After seeing this, I am motivated to buy my first ever Halo game and start playing. I would have given it a 10/10 but for the constant slo-mo which I believe was used due to the brief nature of the series. Very good acting, conveying so much emotion and some pretty good action scenes for a 15- minute webisode. I was very impressed with this and as a Halo novice, I am now so intrigued by the series that I want to play it more than I ever wanted to plan any other <more> |
| Not Bad at all!! (by Rockcory11) |
| Good movie I really liked it and was really getting into it and then it ends bummer. Great action sequences and visually very good and great use of colors and slow motion. The soldiers were awesome. Did a pretty good job setting up the cast and their roles in the movie. Left me with more questions and wanting to watch more of it. The aliens were pretty freaking cool also with nice use of suspense. And really cool weapons and the use of cloaking. I almost had the inclination to go buy the movie until I realized it was only like an hour long too bad. I just wish it was a 2 hour full length <more> |
| Worth watching (by JudasXMachina) |
| I confess first off I have never played Halo. I know it's rough story, and after seeing this I still can't help but be reminded of Starship Troopers. That said, this was an excellent film. The pacing was tight, and it perfectly kept the creatures in "the dark" without giving away too much until the triumphant reveal. The introduction to the characters, and the actors themselves, did a good job. There will be no Oscars handed out, but at no time was I pulled out of the story by campy acting or badly delivered dialogue. The story was straightforward with little guesswork as to <more> |
