They were not kidding regarding this being an alternative story with the characters. It looks great like production value wise, just a shame it’s on Paramount Plus as I already have two streaming subscriptions.
I was expecting some Halo 4 vibes but I am surprised how explicit they are in expressing that the Spartans are controlled. Sure, there’s always the idea the Spartan programme was rough but never that this was an objective and it does make the UNSC seem a little darker. Could be a misdirect mind.
Cortana is a bit like Isabel from Halo Wars 2 where her hologram has colour but more human with the face. You’ll know what I mean. Also, you just knew they were going to put that first meeting in the TV show. Surprised we didn’t see more of her TBH. Perhaps she arrives fairly late in the series.
Halsey has a British accent. Okay.
There’s a human villain in the Covenant. Many, many questions.
Very Mass Effect with the Chief finding an artefact that changed him. Whatever that means. Perhaps they’re starting early with the stuff Librarian did with him or it’s just general Reclaimer stuff.
The Insurrectionists are still using AK47 500 years in the future.
No sign of Blue Team.
Elites look pretty good.
Spotted a Halo 4 Jackal.
In general it looks to be a reimagined Fall of Reach. They’re looking for the Halo Ring and presumably it will end with them finding it and Reach falling.
Literally 30 seconds through and already bored enough to come comment again. Looks like poo, and this has Spielberg attached. like Robert Rodriguez fumbling Star Wars right now. Anyways, Cortana was always intended to be British, this is why she says some British insults in the first one like sod off!
I don’t know why everybody wants to do live action, Halo would be like 5x better in Anime style, so the logic behind it is just dumb in my opinion. Sci-fi universes typically need tons of CGI to be awesome nowadays.
Yeah chiefs voice definitely throws me off, at least imitate a close version to the games not just a human voice with an auto tune effect lol. Like what is that?
Iam guessing giving her skin is to make her look more human. Perhaps they were concerned that general viewers might see her as too cartoonish otherwise. If, they are doing some drama between Chief/Cortana that would be a concern.
Bit premature to judge from one scene. For all we know she changes her appearance every episode.
I’m in the UK so not sure if or when it will be available. I always like to pay for things, but if they make it difficult or seriously delayed then I will hit the high seas.
Looks fine to me. Some good names attached so I have high hopes. Had no issues with the trailer myself. Not everything has to be a perfectly crafted cinematic masterpiece, some stuff can just be a little bit of dumb fun every week.
