RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Ian It tries to more than it is, especially by kicking in few would-be philosophical voice-overs, but it's a straight-forward flick at heart.An overly-complicated introduction leads to a by-the-numbers middle section - which drags abominably - and if you don't know who's going to survive you probably gave it a higher-than-average score and you really need to read more books, watch more movies and be a little more discriminating so you know when scriptwriters write a script in their sleep.As a sci fi action romp it's disappointing but if you've low expectations and there are only soaps on TV you might want to waste an hour and forty minutes of your life on it. Far better have a nap.

Andrew Mobley To be honest I never had high hopes for this mini series. It felt like a cheap marketing trick before I even saw it. Of course I thought to myself "They spent 10 million smackers making it, how bad could they screw it up?"Pretty badInstead of analyzing it to death, I'll list the disappointments:-There is little or no character depth-There is not enough character development of Locke, who I might add is the whole point of the mini series-The whole series has a bit of a cheap feel to it, from the environments to the guns-The plot is not emotionally engaging and goes nowhere-God help us, the clichés

protoss evolution *This Review Contain Some Spoilers*It seems that, between the Halo expanded universe fans, it's a consensus that Halo Nightfall it's a disappointing entry in the rich expanded universe. Well, I'm an addicted to the expanded universe, to the games, and I simply loved Nightfall!With an intriguing, mysterious plot, we are invited to discover what happened to the remains of the Base 4 Halo ring from the first game, after Master Chief destroyed the Halo through the explosion of Pillar of Autumn reactor, which is very, very interesting. I always wondered what happened to the Halo remains. This web series answer that question.Lore aside, the plot itself is very good, with lots of suspense and nervous situations, which keep the audience in the edge of their seats. The demolition/recovering team face a mortal dilemma after arriving at the halo remains.Generally, the special effects are great, the only let down is the CGI Elite, specially when compared to the Elite in the other Halo web series Forward Unto Dawn, which had less budget (12 millions against Nightfall 70 million budget). Despite the Elite, though, the effects are top notch and it stands out when you watch in HD and when you remember that it's not a theater movie, but a web series. The sound is amazing too, good music, good sound effects, technically, this movie/series deliver.So, with the addition to the lore to the expanded universe, the plot, the tension, and good effects, it's very hard to understand why this web series are not receiving the same praise of the Forward Unto Dawn (which is amazing too). Plus, this entry it's easier to the non-fans of video-games than Forward Unto Dawn, since it's more self-contained than that series.

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!!!!
