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. I just wish I could have seen it in the theater!!! Thank you 343 studios for coming out of left field and blowing me away with this movie. Bottome line, if you like anything about Halo, or if you plan on playing Halo 4, see this movie. By the way, the Covenant were done fantastically, and Master Chief is NOT CGI, but instead the most realistic and amazing armor outfit every constructed.
#HALO FORWARD UNTO DAWN MOVIE MOVIE#
The movie thoroughly develops and introduces the characters, so when the covenant (and Master Chief) arrive, you are vested in them, and don't want them to die.
Some people claim that them movie is a little slow at first, or that it parallels Starship Troopers. They all do a great job convincing me that they are the children of the highest echelon of the UNSC elite, who are trying to make their parents proud. The main characters (which are cadets at a UNSC Military Acadamy) are all new faces, except the lead female who is the girl from Narnia. The movie is brimming with great character development, and morality themes regarding the human rebellions before the covenant attack. Then I get home (with the kids at daycare) and start watching it on my 42" TV. Oh great, its a live action Halo movie that I have never heard of, this is going to be terrible.but its only $14 on BluRay so what the heck. What? A Halo movie? Let me take a closer look. I was walking through Walmart's electronics department about a month ago, and I see a Halo movie. I have played through all of the games numerous times, and read every Halo book that has been released. Okay, I consider myself a pretty good Halo fan. If you call yourself a fan of the game,. No feature length movie just yet? Well, this is the next best thing. Each episode debuts on a Friday, which means all my calls will be held, pizza will be delivered to my couch, and nothing is more important than those 20 minutes of Halo action.
Friday has always been my favorite day of the week, but now I have a reason to love it. Superb acting, gorgeous visuals, a beautiful soundtrack, and the promise to deliver more and more in future episodes. And when it debuted on October 5th, I was one of the few to see it when it was only at 5k views(hipster moment).
#HALO FORWARD UNTO DAWN MOVIE SERIES#
Only this time it wasn't going to be a movie, but a web series instead. Then, Microsoft and 343 Industries teamed up to create Forward Unto Dawn, and the hype surrounding a Halo movie returned. 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 anything real. 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. 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. A few months ago when the first trailer came out for the web series, "Forward Unto Dawn", I was beside myself with excitement.
