Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Claudio Carvalho In the 28th Century, the prolonged war between humanity and the fanatical alien alliance the Covenant has ended with a tenuous treaty. Despite the ceasefire, Earth's outer colonies remain vulnerable to the Covenant's covert intrusions. The ONI – Office of Naval Intelligence has been tasked with counterintelligence to beat the Covenant. In Planet Sedra, Commander Jameson Locke (Mike Colter) and his team witness a Covenant's spacecraft and a Zealot Elite warrior disembarks with a bomb. They unsuccessfully try to stop the alien that explodes the bomb in a mall. They realize that it is a biological attack with an element fatal to humans. Sedran Commander Aiken (Steven Waddington) captures the middleman Axl (Jonathan Harden) that tells that the element is obtained from Alpha Halo, where the day longs 16 h and the temperature in the sunlight reaches 482o C. Aiken, Locke and his team head to Halo in the spacecraft Condor with pilot Macer (Christina Chong) carrying a Havoc weapon to destroy the place. On the arrival, they find two terrorists but are trapped in Halo by weird worms that are attracted by technology. And in five hours the sun will rise. "Halo: Nightfall" is a good and underrated sci-fi adventure. The story was released edited on a DVD as a feature and it works. I have glanced at the negative reviews and apparently they belong to fans of a video game that are not satisfied with the movie. However, for those like me that do not play the game, this movie is highly entertaining. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Halo: Nightfall"

drskytower-13161 I have not seen the earlier Halo episodes, but I have played the games so I know the basics of the Halo universe. This movie started off interesting, but my goodness, it sure tried my patience after half an hour. After an hour of sitting there my butt went numb with boredom.This had to be one of the worst sci-fi tele-movies I've ever sat through.1) You can easily outsmart a energy-sword wielding Elite just by jumping over him and shutting a flimsy door in his face. When you open the door he will be conveniently gone.2) If you jump on an 8-foot tall Dino-Toad in full battle armour and shoot a couple shots into his helmet with your pistol, he not only doesn't fight back he quickly falls to his knees in defeat and then throws himself over the hand rail to his death.3) This huge armoured alien can wander around in a human shopping mall unseen but in full view. He doesn't even bother to activate his active-camouflage, because well, humans are blind.4) Lekgolo worms will not attempt to make themselves into a Hunter form. They just swarm together in giant masses big enough and powerful enough to bring down Pelican drop-ships. 5) If however, you turn your ship off, the Lekgolo worms will completely ignore your ship. Oh, and use pack-horses to transport your smuggled whatever-the-hell you're smuggling. Also, wear peasant clothes, because the Lekgolo worms will still attack as they can detect you whether or not you're using your i-OxgyenMask, or your i-Phone, or your i-Pad... or your feet walking on a solid i-Surface... 6) Even though you're a trained soldier, trained by ONI or UNSC or whatever, make triple sure to kill those peasant civilian-smuggler types who are unarmed and have no way of fighting back against you.7) Spend the entire flick wandering around a boring quarry, trudging along the same paths. Just show em from different angles so the (hopefully) tiny-minded audience doesn't figure out this all looks the same.8) Spend 80% of a made-for-TV-movie based on a science fiction first-person-shooter video game sitting around talking. Because the demographic this flick is aimed at wants to watch people sitting and talking. Especially when the acting, story and special effects are sub-par.9) Wonder at the revelation that every Halo game you've ever played involved you running and gunning down alien covenant soldiers, space-zombies, huge ape-like alien warriors and flying super-advanced killer machines built by an extinct super-race. 10) After the hero and the token female survivor escape the deadliest red worms in the Universe in the stolen smuggler ship, grab the DVD disc and sigh with satisfaction as you snap the thing in half.This still goes to show that movies based on video games do NOT work! Boooo 343 Industries! I wasted my $$$ hiring this turd from Video Ezy!! 0 out of 10!

Matt Veldkamp *spoilers within* It was watchable but very generic and boring. I made myself finish it simply because I had started it. And that one girl's tits. They were mesmerizing. (Also I think it says something that 2 mins after watching it I can't remember any of the characters names except Locke) But I digress. We all knew the ending 5 mins after the drop ship went down. With all the content generated through the games and the books, all the epic battles, the all out war, the amazing stories and characters they had to draw from, how did we end up with the plot from Pitch Black? It's an insult to anyone who's a fan of the Halo universe. Others have complained of the acting but I didn't mind it at all.

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.
