This is the syfy special of Halo? There are 3 types of alien in thism ovie.? 2 only in the first episode? and a lot of bad choices. But the threats stay fairly limited and not ramping up.luckily the human characters are 1 dimensional so you don't really care. And almost have 2 actors that do their job. i don't want to blame them. Scenery did a good job.

the story line was slow and boring, and then the cussing & the movie is supposed to be rated that a 7 year old could watch it, i personally would not want my child watching it. I'm not entertained but offended by the poor quality used in the making of the movie, i would highly recommend that movie makers use ethics, when i purchase a movie i like to be entertained not offended, the excessive use of profanity, and nudity, sexual content, and drug use or alcoholics. is offensive to me and not needed to make a movie. this will be the last halo movie i purchase due to the poor quality of film making, standards need to be set and followed. very disappointed with the movie and it's content.

With Halo mini series try Microshoft to get into the series scene, and I believe it works. Every one who play Halo (by the way, most wanted game, get named in other very popular series like the Big Bang Theory) will love to watch how a game could look and feel on TV. I wouldn't compare this mini series with other Sci-Fi series, who have the double runtime. Specially on this mini series; I get a bit disappointed, every time when a very catching scene started, the series ends. 😓 The intro is quite long and the end with music don't make it better.What I like was the look and feel, I like the characters and who it was cutting. Basically the story is between human and aliens, human have to play goods, because there is no other chance to survive.

I have to say, I have been praying for years to everything I can think of to get a Halo film or Halo series started and now we have one - and it is a massive disappointment with minor bright spots.The Plot - The story to this series is pretty weak. I mean, it isn't terrible, but I find myself yawning and looking for other things to do when watching each episode (I haven't watched the latest one, I just can't be bothered). It is relatively predictable, and that isn't a bad thing necessarily, but here it makes it pretty boring to watch.The Presentation - (Mini-Spoiler) Okay, the show starts off with a bang; immediately throwing you in the midst of elites trying to sabotage a city. Sounds good, no? No. There is no easing into a pretty poor story, there is no character development of any sort, and because of these two points, you just can't seem to give a.. you get the point. The beauty of the Halo world is completely marginalized and presented shallow. Honestly, it is insulting. Acting - LOL. The acting or dialogue or directing given to the actors is on the cusp of bad and mediocre. It isn't engaging, but that could be because there is no background story, no character development, and you barely even feel you are watching Halo. If you tie all those points together, you could have Johnny Depp acting and it wouldn't make a difference. Overall, this series is insulting. Admittedly, they spent a good deal of time and money on the gear and the vehicles and all that jazz, which looks authentic and freakin' awesome, but apart from that bright spot which is always done correctly... this is not Halo. This is not the beauty of the Halo world as described in the books and games. Let me put it this way... if I had a friend who had never heard of Halo, I would steer clear of this series as it simply is not even in the same realm. Supremely disappointed. Whoever is in charge needs to take their time, spend money where money needs to be spent, consult correctly, get better actors (not A+++ actors, just better), and NEEDS to understand the beauty of the Halo world. Stop butchering this; it makes me, as a long time fan, irritated.
