Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn Trailers

Set against the backdrop of a UNSC military academy, a group of highborn cadets are training to be the next generation of soldiers in the UNSC’s ongoing war with insurrectionists in the outer colonial planets. Among these cadets, Thomas Lasky struggles with his doubts about this war, and with the burden of expectations he may not be able to carry. As Lasky comes to terms with his potential as a military leader, the terrifying alien alliance known as the Covenant arrives and turns his world upside down. Inspired by the Master Chief, he must decide what it means to be a hero.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Granted, I have never played the "Halo" games, because those types of games never really appealed to me, but I was, of course, familiar with the universe. I mean, it is "Halo" after all, kind of hard to miss out entirely on that.I had not heard anything about this 2012 movie prior to finding it on Netflix, I believe it was, and then sitting down to watch it. I must admit that I did have some expectations to the movie. It is "Halo" after all.The movie started out alright, but very quickly lost its momentum and its appeal. And by the 25 minutes marker, I was ready to give up out of a sheer lack of interest. The movie had nothing to offer me, and I was more than bored with the storyline (or shall I say, lack thereof). But I decided to keep with it and give the movie a chance to win me over.When I hit the 36 minute marker, I gave up. This movie was just pointless and offered nothing in terms of a proper storyline or appeal in any way to me. The characters were flat and irrelevant, and basically were generic and cliché all the way, and that made me have zero interest in the characters. And the storyline just was too shallow and progressed literally nowhere in the 36 minutes that I endured of this ordeal of a movie.I was expecting quite a bit more than what was delivered on the screen, and I was sorely disappointed with what I suffered through in the 36 minutes that I endured. I have absolutely no intention of ever returning to watch the rest of the movie, because there was nothing for me to enjoy here.

Well-done story about cadets in the Halo-world military training facility. Would be better if people knew the Cortana and Master Chief story. As it is, slightly weak ending but fascinating storyline and good acting, filming and directing.

The start was not interesting did not draw you into the story line and proceeded to be stuck in the basics to build a plot for way too long. The master chief appeared and the movie kicked up a gear or 2, but this didn't last very long and before you new it the movie was over. In all honesty i don't know much about the game, gathering from this episode/movie it is not a terribly interesting plot. i sat down to watch a science fiction action adventure and was terribly bored for 95% of the movie. They could have spent 1/3rd of the time investing in building the characters and a lot more time on the action. If there are more installments to come i hope the action picks up and if they want to spend a lot of time on the plot then make it interesting, not some soppy teenage daytime drama NOT A FAN o

There is a guy who don't really wants to be a solider. He gets sick and the movie ends.This was one of the most boring movies that i've ever watched. And yes I've played the game. i cant see how this could have 7.2 in ratings right know. 4 or 5 times I wanted to stop the movie. The story really sucks, and the movie is so unbelievable slow. I can't believe that I watched the hole one. Nothing is happening, there's a war but you almost never See anything about the war? And the love between these 2 guys, why even have it there? Come on! I would never recommend this movie to anyone. Save your time and look at another movie instead.
