Cautiously optimistic about this. I’ve been hoping for something like this ever since that live action short was made a while back. Pablo Schrieber is Master Chief. |

New series out now on Paramount+. Decent start to the first episode so far. Hopefully it will be a good show. |

Of course. Couldn’t find the thread before. I liked the first episode. Didn’t recognize much from the games, but I was entertained. |

I liked it. The aliens look a little off, but I understand it is based on a video game. |

One of the best game franchises in history, but: https://www.cbr.com/halo-tv-series-creators-ignored-game/amp/ Halo showrunner Steven Kane revealed the creative team behind the upcoming Paramount+ series avoided looking at the video games that inspired it. |

That’s fine. It’s kind of hard to follow the path of the games, and there’s a ton of lore in the books. I don’t mind them doing their own thing. That being said, I don’t have Paramount+ and dont really want to sign up for another service. |

First episode was fine. I'm not hopeful for the series going forward but the episode did get better as it went along. Ultimately, though, that was a glorified video game cut scene in terms of the acting, cinematography, visual effects, and script. The chonky Sangheilis looked pretty bad. |

I think i thought this was going to be filmed more in the style of Foundation but it’s more like Killjoys or Dark Matter |

I’m just mildly annoyed by this whole thing. Shoulda cast Ron Perlman as Hood. |

Did you ever see that collection of shorts someone did years back on YouTube? I feel like that was better produced than this Those shorts were actually "official" (assuming you're referring to the short below). Landfall was essentially a test reel from when Neill Blomkamp was all teed up to direct a Peter Jackson-produced Halo movie. Unfortunately, it fell apart. Style is ultimately a personal preference but I think the shorts look better than this series. |

That does look interesting. |

Additional bit of trivia: when that Halo movie fell through, Blomkamp and Jackson pivoted to District 9. If you want to know what a Blomkamp-directed Halo movie would've looked like, look no further. |

Yeah that was it. And it totally has the District 9 feel to it. |

At least they got Cortana right. I wish Marty O’Donnell hadn’t torpedoed his career so he could have given this thing a decent score. |

Maybe I spoke too soon. Hire him now, 343 and CBS. |

And now they have Chief digging holes. This is terrible. |
