5.0 out of 5 stars "..FANTASTIC LIVE ACTION HALO.."
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 March 2015

This is a really cool set for serious halo fans, you of course get the Blu-ray which has beautiful HD picture quality, plus the DVD version, a set of photo cards and a mini poster all in a lovely slipcase! This is a big step up for halo live action compared to forward unto dawn, the budget looks bigger and better with fantastic locations and great looking technology, the story is very different this time but still has references to he halo games which is cool, we follow a team of ONI (Office of naval intelligence) soldiers who fail to stop he covenant releasing a deadly biological attack on the colony world of Sedra, the team then go on a mission to a fragment of the halo ring in space to destroy the source of the biological threat that the covenant are using, but they are unaware of the other perils that await them, there is plenty of great action, thrilling special effects and a fantastic cast of characters, this really is great fun and a must for all halo fans.

Features include many cool short documentaries about the making and cast and effects, plus 45-mins of ONI short stories.
Region B2, 94-mins feature, 2014.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good For Halo Fans
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2017

If you are a fan of the Halo video game series then you will enjoy this DVD. This story is a prequel to the Halo 5 video game and introduces the character and back story of Agent Locke who is a playable character in the game.

The look and feel of the movie is spot on as it reflects the Halo universe perfectly.

It has a decent story, classic Sc-Fi fare but you don't necessarily have to know the Halo games to be able to enjoy this.

Given 4 stars as I am not totally convinced by some of the casting choices, but overall an enjoyable movie

3.0 out of 5 stars Could've been better, could've been worse
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2015

Halo: Nightfall has gotten some flak since its release in November, and some of it is justified.

Let's all be real about this; this is no 'Halo Movie' substitute, and it's not exactly going to blow anyone's mind. It's a little slow - slower than a live action Halo story should be, I fear, and it's also a little 'dull' - this doesn't have the same tone, feeling or atmosphere as any of the Halo games, or even any of the books. It's kind of doing its own thing in terms of tone, which is fine to an extent. What it does have is a sense of sombreness, what it means to be a soldier and all that jazz, a simple, focused story that admittedly we have all seen a thousand times before, but never in the Halo universe, and we get to see some live action Halo tropes with near-Hollywood production values (I'll explain why 'near' in bit).

The story of Nightfall is really, really simple; the Covenant Remnant (as they're now known) has got its hands on some element that is basically toxic to humans, and humans alone, that was presumably manufactured by the Forerunners, as its source is traced to a piece of the original Halo ring (yep, the one from the first game that Master Chief destroyed). New character Locke is tasked with taking a team of marines as well as colonial officers to track down the source and destroy it. Of course, once they land their method of evacuation is compromised and they are then stranded on this piece of the Halo ring with only 16 hours until they are all fried by the heat of the local sun. To make matters worse, a sentient creature or creatures appears to be on the ring too, and seems bent on their destruction. The bulk of the movie is the characters being picked off one by one by these creatures whilst turning against each other as they realise only two of them will be able to make it off the Halo shard alive.

So yeah, a story we've seen a thousand times before, but never in the Halo universe, so its addition is not unwelcome.

Now, the bad stuff: the movie is far too slow, even the action scenes don't feel nearly as exciting as they should.

It's also slightly pretentious. There's lots of long drawn out narration sequences where the narrator (one of the characters) drones on about 'god' and being a 'warrior' and some such nonsense....I mean, this takes up about 10 minutes of the movie altogether, and I personally don't feel it adds anything to it. It was a nice idea but it didn't really work.

The supporting characters are largely uninteresting - I didn't care about a single one of them, so watching them drop like flies was not exactly engaging for me. There's also a few too many character cliches going on here - the plucky young 'rookie' who happens to be a borderline genius in both maths and physics but is nonetheless content to be a low level military grunt, is a little much (the line "....R-regional Nav.
Physics I just leafed through when I was bored..." had me rolling my eyes).

The CGI, too, is REALLY dodgy in places. The opening sequence with a Sangheili (Elite, to all you Halo philistines :P ) looks really suspect. For some bizarre reason they didn't use motion capture for it, instead it is hand animated and it really, really shows. The Sangheli's movements are really cartoony and unrealistic. I also noticed there are no shadows or effects on the water from the Covenant drop ship as it flies over the lake. Just really basic things that highlight how limited the production values were.

They also seem to have invented an entirely new alien Covenant race just for this movie, and it seems the sole reason for this is so they could have a human actor in prosthetics playing an alien rather than using CGI for recognisable Covenant races. We have NEVER heard of this race before, and as soon as I saw it I went straight onto the Halo Wiki to find out what the hell was going on - turns out there are numerous Covenant races we haven't seen before, and the Covenant races we HAVE seen in Halo so far are simply the races that make up the military of the Covenant, or at least this is how they are explaining it. This kind of makes sense I suppose - it would be odd if every single member of the Covenant religion was a soldier - but it's slightly bizarre that until now we have never even heard of this 'Covenant Fringe' as they're now calling it.

The opening scene also doesn't make a whole lot of sense, either; basically we see a Sangheili warrior running around a human population centre, and NO ONE seems to notice him. He manages to make it into a human city, through a packed shopping mall, without a single human civilian spotting him until Locke finds him. They could have explained this with cloaking (which would also have disguised the dodgy CGI) but they don't. Instead the Elite is just running around for all to see - yet no one does.

Now, the good stuff: Locke is a pretty awesome character, which is due in no small part to Mike Colter. I'm already looking forward to playing as him in Halo 5, and considering Nightfall is essentially an origins story for him, in that respect it does the job. I hate it when people bring up race/skin colour in these kinds of things, because honestly it shouldn't even BE an issue, but that said, it is nice to see a heroic black lead, and not a 'supporting role', in an action sci fi work for a change.

The enemy creature on the Halo ring - <<<<<<<<SPOILERS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
are Lekgolo worms, or 'Hunter worms' - the worms that the 'Hunter' creatures from the Halo games are made up of - only these are pre-Covenant Lekgolo and are therefore 'free roaming', and thankfully the CGI on the worms looks fine. It was a nice surprise, and cool to see something recognisable and familiar from the Halo games, but in a form we haven't seen them in before (if you know about Halo lore you know that Hunter worms are not naturally in the 'warrior' shape we see them in in the games, but this is the first time we see them in their base form).

The movie has received some negative criticism for its acting. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with the acting in this movie - people are going into it assuming it'll be another 'Forward Unto Dawn', and then perceiving 'bad acting' where there isn't any. None of the actors are going to win any Oscars for these performances, but the acting here is easily on a par with any mainstream sci fi show of the last 10 years, such as Battlestar or Stargate.

So yeah, not great, but not terrible either. If you can watch this on the (god awful) 'Halo Channel', then I'd say it's not worth getting this bluray unless, like me, you're a collector of all things Halo, or if you cannot stomach the endless adverts and audio issues with the Halo Channel.

The movie could have been a lot worse than it actually is, though I can't help but think the production wasn't wasted on the script/story - I would have much rather seen something with less CGI, and not set on an actual Halo shard, and something more dialogue driven involving Covenant terrorists told from the UNSC perspective - basically something like a live action version of the Spartan Ops DLC for Halo 4.
But it could be worse - it could have been an absolute disaster that didn't resemble Halo in any way shape or form, and even contradicted basic Halo universe details, as seems to be the case with almost all live action movies based on videogames so far. :/

Absolute toilet...I can't believe the man that gave us Blade Runner would put his name to this. Has almost none of the elements of the Halo games, which is perhaps a blessing because at least the fundamental idea behind them has not been sullied by this tosh. Special effects from 90's circa TV movies, and a contrived and hopelessly unbelievable plot. It would be unfair to abuse the thin acting as I think Olivier would have been pushed to imbue such poorly written characters with meaning. Oh...and what about the vacant space behind the seats in the Tug? Not enough to fit a few more people in?
Save your money and consign this one to the trash can.
