@TheDrFreeman: The "Halo" itself is a ring-shaped structure in space built by an ancient civilization (Forerunners, from them and the relic that the Chief picked up in the first series).
For some, this is a weapon of mass destruction, for others, salvation from the threat (which was not shown in the series), and for the Covenant (aliens, immediately again showed the talk of Elites and prophets from the council) it is almost a religion, with myths and legends and prophecies.

The series follows its own canon, so fuck knows when they will start touching the rings...

Graphon is limping in space, but everything is fine, as far as I'm concerned. It doesn't hurt my eyes, quite succinctly, I don't understand the indignation (as noted above, they got completely stuffed), and I've seen worse, but somehow people there are more loyal, it's amazing. Apparently, the source always plays an important role in this kind of thing; by the way, I'm not familiar with the game, but after the first episode I wanted to play or something? Plus, there is interest, it's not boring.

@alavitka: The series seems to be pretending to film the game. It's 90% empty, but still. The name has a Hello in it. This means that the Master Chief should not take off his helmet. Especially in the first season. The fact that the Mandalorian uses the same idea has nothing to do with Haylo. The game was released long before this series.

@Celesgosa: Very few people watching the series played the game. But a lot of those watching had seen the Mandalorian before. And the off-screen argument about who was before doesn't count in this business, just a massive first impression. (I'm already silent about the fact that then and in Mandalorian, the helmet's incompleteness should not be tracked from the series). In short, who got up first or who became more famous, and sneakers, not looking back is not an option.

А вот из других франшиз уже можно. И пофиг, что Хейло это как собаке пятая нога. О них уже не помнит никто.

@bazatron: What kind of game are you talking about? Of all the serial space operas, normal CGI aliens were only in SGU. And this, perhaps, at that time became one of the main reasons for the closure of SGU, since the norms of CGI in TV series are expensive even now.

Graphon is quite normal here, the only problems are related to the movements of objects, but this is normal, since it is quite difficult to achieve maximum smoothness and realism within the allocated budget.
The creators could have poured everything into maximum quality, but then other areas would have suffered, because the graphics do not end with only aliens and the squad.

@bazatron: Compare CGI and hand-made costumes...Are you all right?

About other areas:
1. Elaboration of CGI decorations and secondary objects - we have at least an adequate video sequence here, whether it is an image of buildings or the same combat fighters;
2. Elaboration of the entourage both in terms of CGI and in terms of real objects;
3. Working with costumes, which also requires serious expenses;
4. Full-scale shooting;
5. A decent amount of extras;

And these are just the aspects that immediately come to mind. If the series had a modest budget, then we would see the pussy-suffering of a couple of GG in clothes concocted on their knees on 3 square meters of the same scenery with the most modest CGI, necessary only to justify the genre of "fiction". But you just need to understand that even a serious budget needs to be able to use it correctly, evenly distributing it between all aspects of film production. And here the creators of the series have succeeded, we can only hope that this will be the case in every episode, and not just in the pilot

After reading the first comments, I was inclined not to even watch the pilot. But curiosity got the better of me, and I didn't regret it. It looks in one breath. In fact, I don't understand why there is so much criticism. I'm not familiar with any games, or anything related to Halo, but it was still interesting to watch. Or maybe it's because all this is unknown to me. I'm already looking forward to the second series!

I'm even shocked by the "critics" here. It's especially funny to see this after the enthusiastic comments under the series of the last Expansion seasons with their plastic boats. Some also managed to admire, they say, "how cool and realistic", ahhahah.
The only thing I can get to the bottom of in moments with jumps it looked like there were not people in suits, but artiodactyls (people do not press their legs like that and do not soar in the air).
The graphics are quite nice. It's less worth sticking around and comparing everything with all sorts of garbage Marvel, which can't show anything except graphics.

There is also a funny fact that Bezos personally said that he loves Expansion very much and this was one of the main reasons why it was continued. And as a result, this is the attitude...

If the series adds, then there are a lot of cool moments and super cool Sci-fi ahead of us, and if the soundtrack of the games is cut, then generally a cannon

Not bad for a start, but the pilot is empty. The dialogues are strange: the general just found out about one survivor, but in a couple of seconds she had her orders)

The girl just had her father and friends killed by aliens, and she wants to blame everything on the UNSC to annoy them, and what happens to other colonies because of aliens - she doesn't care, I'm silent about revenge for her father. Just "What?"

The plot is weak, nothing is clear, the Master Chief is the chosen one, but they did not provide any kind of scenario hook. I know what the series is going to be about, because I've played games, but for the average viewer it's probably even more incomprehensible, but it seems to be coming to someone.

Another purely quibbling point: ordinary people shot at aliens with a machine gun - that's all right, but as soon as the master Chief started shooting at him, they immediately began to die from a pack of bullets. Hello?))

I really hope for the best plot and staging moments in the next series.

Considering that this is a series, it's very good, the opening scene is excellent, graphonium is good in places, lame in places, but how would this be a series, if you forget, the same Marvel series have the same problems and nothing.
The plot is normal, Schreiber is cool, there is little normal space fiction on TV, so we continue watching.

Apparently it is designed only for fans of the universe, so the budget is poor. Although they could have done it for everyone, simultaneously revealing ENT and what is happening in general, at the same time they would have knocked out fatter budgets. And so far, it's thin, especially the graphics.

I don't know how to feel about the first episode.
There are too many changes and the logic of the narrative seems quite strange so far.
And the plot looks secondary, which is strange, given the presence of the original source. Why drag it from other works when there is an original based on which the series is being filmed?
The moment of the Chief's contact with the forerunner artifact was very much like a scene from the Mass Effect.
The company of a warrior and a girl is also already a boring template.
The Chief's face was shown too quickly, which contradicts the spirit of the series.
And this is a magical rescue by touching an artifact...
why can't you just take and film the game without trying to come up with a bike?

@-v-: Faceless gg is a Halo feature. And this feature goes far beyond the fact that this is a first-person shooter. There are a bunch of first-person shooters with characters having their own face.
At least they could at least not reveal his face in the first episode.
To compare with Mando? Is that why they're shoving a plot with a bunch of girls and a warrior into the series? Won't they compare it with anything? Did they abandon the feature inherent in the series due to the fact that there is a well-known work with the same plot move, while introducing another such secondary plot move, only also not inherent in the series? Where is the logic here?

I've been waiting for the film adaptation since rumors first started about it, back in 2008, when Peter Jackson was supposed to shoot it in full-meter format. Since then, some bullshit has come out, of which only the anime Halo: Legends was sound, except for a couple of episodes. There are mixed feelings from this pilot so far. The design of characters, equipment and equipment is on top. The graphics seem to be more or less normal, but they are too conspicuous. Halsey, it seems to me that you hit the nail on the head, but Keyes is not like that at all. Fuck him, he's dark-skinned, he's twice as big as the original, and his character is somehow not like that, a book character would not so easily accept an order to eliminate an innocent teenager. The art effect of the forerunners in the very first episode, and the start date of 2552 still inspire hope for something global and serious. According to the trailer, it seemed like they would be running around Tatooine the whole series. In 2552, the Limit fell. I think the battle for him should begin by the end of the season. And the second season will probably be on the ring itself. We'll watch for now, and then we'll see. At least he didn't let me down.

Conflicting feelings from the pilot. On the one hand, there is quite a lot of fan service in the form of references to the original video games (there are sounds, equipment, first-person view, some scenes), this is especially noticeable at the beginning of the series, when there is a battle between the Spartans and the Covenant elites.

On the other hand, the graphics (and especially the transitions between computer models of the same Spartans to real actors in the thick of battles) frankly hurt the eyes.
Plus, there are enough contradictions with the basic canon of the original games and novels, for example, the Chief is already called a Demon here, although this should happen after the KCON finds its first Halo draping on the ship "Pillar of Autumn" from the planet Limit. And among the Covenant, a certain Blessed One suddenly appeared, who looks like a human, although the Covenant cannot stand people and considers them an infection and heresy. Fortunately, the authors immediately said that there would be no literal repetition of the canons and the plot of the series would not be directly related to the games of the series.

Let's see how it goes from there...

@Hunter_Number23: UPD: The graphics of large scenes like the planet Limit itself and the overflights of ships look good in principle. And the Chief suddenly took off his helmet (yes, it was like that in the games, too, but the protagonist's face was never shown there), and even has doubts when he was given the order (although it's most likely the influence of an alien artifact). However, the actor is quite charismatic in the main role.

It is intriguing and much more interesting than the wretched "Foundation", although not so grandiose in events. In the spirit of "Expansion", and if, according to the logic of events, it does not yield, it will be quite a worthy project. I'm not a fan of the Halo series of games, I've been playing for a long time at school, but periodically I catch references and myself thinking that Cortana from Microsoft was put on the series 😅

Pretty good. The graphics are quite good. However, the physics of jumping does not look very good. But otherwise it will work for the pilot.

The action is also quite shameless.

I had quite low expectations. After all, the film adaptation of the game. Maybe that's why it came to me.

The fact that the Master Chief took off his helmet, I honestly didn't want him to do it so early. But basically the face of an ordinary soldier, as if everything is OK.

One moment really confused me. The rebel, the girl's father, firing a machine gun, could not penetrate the covenant's armor. And when the machine gun was taken by the Master Chief, it was immediately + 100 to penetration.
I liked the reference to XP recovery. After all, this mechanics has changed a lot in subsequent shooters. And the first-person view is also nothing.

Oh, I'll grab the cons...
what you can be completely calm about in the future is the Kalashnikov concern.
For everything else, you can just really hard (start?) worry.
First of all, why does such an important strategic facility not have at least some local governments? One general (apparently nominal), who understands little about the tactics of defensive combat, does not know how to manage at all.
The second question is, why don't the rebels have intelligence? No one knows about the access regime at the facility at all. Who went where, who goes where - it's not clear at all. A tent with teenage drug addiction on board.
Thirdly, how did an office with a name made of a bunch of letters (I'll call it PJSC "EPRST") allow a strike to take place at a strategically important resource extraction facility? By the way, this question is logically a continuation of the first question. Apparently, the union worked...
but even if you close your eyes and think about assumptions, there are even more questions.
It is hard to believe that a single object located in the desert could last so long. Right up to some kind of negotiations. Where did they get food, drinking (I emphasize) water and ammunition? Even if the latter is captured (and by the way, very motley), what should the personnel be fed and watered with?
For some reason, PJSC "EPRST" - if you believe the words of the brave "rebels" from the first minutes of the episode - does not want to take it in a hurry (some kind of cart and a small cart), but sends troops to take the object. Moreover, it probably sends you for pumping - you need to accumulate exp somewhere and go to levelup from somewhere.
By the way, it is not entirely clear why it was necessary to send a super-squad of space special forces? As practice has shown, he is of no use.
In summary, I would like to note that now PJSC "EPRST" can safely clean up the facility, trim the equipment with mallets a little and start mining there again. All their problems were solved for them and within 10 minutes...

Pablo Schreiber. It's so strange that I saw him in PoI, in Three Rivers, I remember like in a Thief Hunt, and I don't remember at all in a White Collar.
But I watch a lot of strange movies, and that's why I instantly recognized him because of the movie "13 hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi." A man is born for such roles. And here, in Halo, he belongs, kmk.

I know about the game from TVB, to be honest. More precisely, the name was familiar to me before, but no more. Well, I didn't play LoL either, but I'm a fan of the Arcane now.

What kind of game did I look at... What kind of idiocy is "I'm going to tell lies on TV and let the rest of the colonies be destroyed by unknown crap that turned out to be true, just not to sit at the same table with you"? What is it? From some small star, whose existence would not be taken care of by any general, ranging from field to staff, managing tens or hundreds of thousands of subordinates? And who would simply be sent to the local kindergarten for street children, since she does not want to cooperate, and they did not portray monsters "yes, throw her into the airlock, a clueless one.".. Okay, the usual login, but why didn't you like the finished plot, Oleg-I'm a visiting artist? Which has already been tested on millions of players over a couple of decades. "Demon!" from the Elites with the Limit still undestroyed? The man on the Covenant Supreme Council? The helmet, removed almost immediately after the credits, is just a finishing blow. You just take a ready-made base, add water, and go into production. No, it is necessary to anger the fans of the original, otherwise they will not accept the creator ... " Oleg takes on everything boldly. Everything turns to shit."
Graphonium, actors, a femme agenda and the rest of what other claims there are do not bother me at all. Everything suits me. Except for the crazy scenario moves.
