Sorry, this movie sucks

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

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.

Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn is one of the most useless things I've ever seen, not only is it boring, filled with bland acting, and painfully cringey dialogue, this movie has no reason to exist. The movie decides to try to justify its existence by saying it takes place before events of Halo 4, but it still doesn't make any sense. There really is no story in the film, it's everywhere for an hour and then tries to start things happening, even though there is no reason for it to happen, and Master Chief is shoehorned in, because unlike the characters we are given in the film, he is at least interesting, but not in this film. I wish I didn't have to say this, but Master Chief barely plays a part in the film, you can cut him out by cutting out one scene that makes him at least vulnerable in the film by one percent. With the characters, we spend 100 minutes of the film with them, so you might be wondering why you would do that, and there is no answer, cause these are one of the most boring and uninteresting characters I've ever had to watch, by the end of the film, not even the end during the film you don't remember their names, and the acting is atrocious, cookie cutter acting with awful dialogue that makes it sound like a Halo fan fiction, that's where it would belong in. As for the action, there is barely any action and that is a big problem if the drama sucks, take a film for example called Batman Begins, we have all seen it and we all know the action sucks, wither you think it is terrible or very outdated for the time, but what makes it is the drama between characters and what makes the story progress, but if drama sucks, action sucks, then you can't make a coherent story. I love Halo, from Combat Evolved to 4, and I wanted to give this film a chance, but I just can't. This is one of the most useless films I've spent time on, and I can't recommend it at all, please avoid this film at all times, it is not worth your time and not worth anyone else's.

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.

I'm a pretty big Halo fan. Now I am sure, a lot of the reviews start in the same way! Let's be honest Halo is a massive franchise and it's been made so well, that making a movie was always going to be judged with extreme criticism. Firstly and most importantly: This movie lives up to all our super HD and CGI needs- the covenant, master chief and action is so well done you almost wish you had blu ray and 4K now to see it in! (Where? Currently on NETFLIX in beautiful quality).Secondly, now this is the problem with it. Almost half the movie is just a back story and an emotional journey only part of which is actually integral to the whole idea of Halo. When you pick up a game/franchise/sci-fi genre that has already given people a story; your own idea or execution of a new back story has to be 'excellent'. I am sorry, the execution here is excellent but the plot is highly boring. If I wasn't a fan of Halo I would have stopped watching 20 minutes into the film. I urge you though, watch it, it gets better and reaches a very very good peak. If you haven't played the game, you will want to play it after this.
