Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

s3276169 It should be difficult to make sci fi dull but as we see, all too often, the so called movie mavens manage it, time and again. Lamentably Halo: Nightfall is yet another example of uninspiring storytelling that taps into a well established computer game franchise. This is not the first film based on the Halo games. To my knowledge Halo: Forward Unto Dawn was the first full film outing. It was a reasonable effort too. Sadly Nightfall is nowhere near as entertaining. It takes a hackneyed and well worn general premise that was never exciting to start with and for some, inexplicable reason, reinvents it. The result is a film that ticks all the boxes in terms of special effects, props, equipment, settings and a reasonable cast yet still manages to be slow paced and boring. My advice give this one a miss. In spite of the enticing subject matter there is little on offer here. If you have not seen the first film watch that instead and then skip forward to the new film coming out this year (assuming its not a lemon too, of course). Four out of ten from me.

Tallen Smith *Minor Plot Spoilers* I'm not the biggest Halo fan, I'm not going to lie. I've played all of them, but I'm not going to complain about how many shots it takes a magnum to break an Elite's shields, but I know enough about movies to say how lazy this is. The plot of this series is boring. It takes place mostly on the broken Halo ring from Halo 1 where a group of ONI soldiers have to plant a bomb to destroy some anti-human element found there. Most of the plot is just this group of humans wandering around a wasteland and arguing about sides Survivor style. I was hoping maybe to see a return of the Flood on the ring, but instead we get... hunter worms? Thats right. Hunter worms not in their armor. They act as the generic sci-fi sound hearing monster and brought nothing interesting to the table. That was a curious choice to make, seeing as the flood could have done basically the same thing and make a bit more sense... speaking of curious choices, one of the first scenes of the movie they introduce a new alien species out of the blue that I've never heard of., so I looked them up and they were just made up specifically for that one scene. So under utilized that they don't even have a wikipedia page. Anyway, the marines go around the planet, draw lines, betray each other,and eventually get off the planet with their mission done. The characters themselves are as dull as they get and they all lack character. Locke? Well he's a marine commander... that's all. Master Chief had more emotion and he's equatable to a pet rock as far as emotions go. People complained about the CGI in this show, but I thought it was pretty decent for a TV show... then I saw its MASSIVE budget and realized how bad it was for the money. Yeah the CGI was good, but at times it just looked fake. I'm pretty sure the graphics of Halo 4 outmatched this by far, but still, the only star I'm giving this show is for the CGI. So, in the end this show is as boring and generic as it gets. Every plot point is predictable and can easily be seen a mile away.It was bad. It was boring. It was not worth your time. But my biggest question is simply, why is this a Halo series? Watch this... A group of Alliance marines fights an evil alien, the Slurgs, and finds out that there's an anti-human element on a planet orbiting around a super nova. There they find an evil alien worms called Hunter Worms. It's up to them to destroy the element and avoid the worms. Boom, I just made this movie entirely non- Halo. The only real reason this movie was Halo was to draw in the massive Halo fanbase, but it used so little of Halo's lore that it didn't seem worth it. The good news is that it didn't seem like it was a cheap cash-in, but it just didn't need to be a Halo series at all. I would feel a lot more comfortable reviewing some B-Movie generic sci-fi, but now I have to review a Halo generic B- movie Sci-fi. If Locke is the main character in Halo Guardians, I think I'll skip that one.

coenobitaclypeatus-247-362644 Halo Nightfall is pretty good, I enjoyed watching it and think it's a good background story of agent Locke who we are going to be seeing in the next halo game. Although its storyline is not the most intense I've seen in a sci fi series, it at least has a storyline that one can follow and a storyline of which does not suck at least. I also like the fact that the story explains what happened to the alpha halo from "Halo Combat Evolved" and shows the true powers of the "Lekgolo", which the hunter infantry units of the halo games are made of. When comparing Nightfall to Halo Forward Unto Dawn I think that both are good added story elements to the halo storyline, although I like the the plot of Nightfall more, being that it's one of a team of soldiers carrying out a dangerous mission in a hostile and mysterious environment. Of coarse it does not take long for the situation to become almost hopeless for the characters and some start to turn on one another, although I think this shows what some people might do in certain desperate situations. All and all I think Nightfall is pretty good and I cannot wait to see how or if its story will tie into that of Halo 5 Gaurdians.

Nilton Mota First, I have to say I am a huge fan of Halo series, I was not expecting a plot exactly as the original series but come on, this is simply horrible and I love sci-fi movies!I've seen all 4 episodes wishing something well worth mentioning would occur but until today i have disappointments all the time.I will be honest with you, the first episode was not that horrible, it make me curious for the second one even if did not impressed me at all.The story is a mess, no interest and acting is really poor.Please give back the viewers the 70 millions!?!?! spent in this movie, From my point of view, the way things are, this series has no future!!!!
