something the further the more graceless and the more it is put on the canon. (not that the canon was good in itself, but it had much better potential)
the only thing that was successful was that the strangers look naturalistic.
@bazatron: well, how can I say, they have been forraner stuff since the first series, the events around the Spartans and the covenants themselves are here, and for some reason they turned the UNSC upside down to a bunch
Yeah, I was just reviewing the Expansion. It was nice to see Bern Gorman here from season 4, although his character Murtry infuriated me all the time)))
High!! As a non-player (but I put all the parts on download) it is very addictive. And I feel that the scriptwriters and directors of the series will be able to roam for at least 3-4 seasons.
Remotely, when John is shown in a helmet in full frame of the ship's controller ( with musical accompaniment ), the TV series Mandalorian and the Book by Bob Fet are recalled, they also indulged in such protracted shots of characters in helmets🤖
@yumtee: Yellowstone, 4 seasons have already been released, as well as a spin-off season 1 and another spin-off on the way. As for me, Sheridan carries the whole "mountain" there, if we take the original projects of the service.
@Inhumans: Paramount + has nothing to do with Yellowstone, season 4 was filmed by MTV Entertainment, before that it was filmed on the Paramount Network. The spin-off was also filmed by MTV. Halo seems to be Paramount+'s first project. Paramount+ is actually a rebranding of CBS ALL Access, a streaming service.
@Sugar_Padre: The series does not follow the canon of games, they still have to reach the "Halo" themselves someday... So maybe you should spoil something for yourself. But I agree, the desire to return to the games definitely appears when watching. However, I advise you to be patient, there is a plot in the games, but you still need to get to it, through a very crooked and outdated level design (limits of old consoles, nothing can be done here). Perhaps the building itself is being developed more by comics and books, I didn't touch them myself, I won't say the same.
The pilot was forgiven, but here... With all the love for such a plan of fiction, we played out all the moments that we could. I can close my eyes to cheap special effects, this is not the key, but it feels like after the pilot the script was given to some outsiders who did not even watch the pilot. There are a lot of cliches, dialogues such that the characters can't believe it, the timing is generally a complete disaster, and this is one of the key factors in cinema. The pilot was clearly better. Seriously, people, do you really think this is a "buzz"?
I really hope that they will improve further. With a high-quality implementation of the idea, this series would be a bomb at the moment.
@verolom: Well, maybe not a straight "buzz", but after the closure of "Expansion", I still want another series about space. "Halo" will do, despite the fact that I neither played nor know the plot, but so far it will do.
@gkalian: I'm watching it too, and I didn't say that the series is shit. I would like something cooler, considering what year it is and what a lot of experience filmmakers have :) So far, it is "quite fine", but further it may be better.
@verolom: the buzz is usually for those who do not bang on the canon and understand that it is not necessary to go one-on-one with him. Try to watch it easier, separate from the game, it goes very well.
@kingforthesirens: you won't believe it, I don't even know the canon, I haven't played Halo :) I judge purely by the series and compare it with Foundation, the season of which recently ended. I like the setting here more, the quality and elaboration of the Foundation is noticeably better from the first series. But... But the third series is noticeably better, "corrected".
@verolom: Man, you have BHM, HMM, Dark Matter, Terra Nova and Strain rated 5 stars. So all your quibbles about a completely normal Halo start look like the ravings of a madman. He especially yelled with "A bunch of cliches, dialogues such that the characters can't believe it." And this is written by a man who gave 5 stars to walking talkers, ahahah
@Karrong: Man, you'd better turn on your head instead of yelling and shaming yourself. The first seasons of HMM were really good, that's when I was grading. Then some shit went on. BHM is a little worse, but it also slipped so much that I gave up on the new season after several episodes. I didn't change my assessment either because I was too lazy.

I see people are completely fed up with CGI, are you watching the series in 360p, what graphon hurts your eyes? There is quite a good graphon here, in some places it is even very decent, what the Strangers shown are worth and how they are worked out in detail. They watch enough Marvels with a 200 million budget for the film, and then they whine that something is wrong with graphone, although there are individuals there who will definitely complain about cheap graphone.
I understand that this Kwan was introduced into history, purely to show that John still has humanity when everyone around him thinks he's just a killing machine. I wouldn't say it's sophisticated, but it kind of should work for those who aren't familiar with games and novels, without stretching the timing. I wonder if the episode with the repelling of missiles at the test site will be like in the book? When the Master Chief was first introduced to Cortana, and military skeptics tried to fake their failure of the combat effectiveness test.
Somehow it's not enough for me, the series flew by unnoticed. Yes, to some extent the scenery is dechman, especially on the "massive iron things", and the eye clings to it, but it's beautiful. Very Sci-Fi, so to speak. I want the whole season to be released at once, and not tormented by an episode a week - there is no desire to wait, I want everything at once :(
What kind of incompetent bullshit is this. I thought that after the foundation of the film adaptation, there could no longer be, but the screenwriters of this obscene fan fiction managed, if not to surpass, then to match. for those unfamiliar with the original, a simple comparison: if the plot of the games is the first seasons of Game of Thrones, then this series is like the last. I don't understand why they do it anymore. why take the source code with a deep-worked ENT and then shoot the stupid shit not even based on motives. well, take off your shit with the original titles, what's the problem? although probably no one would have given money for such a brand-free piece of shit and would have had to work on the script at least, but under a well-known brand you can "huyak huyak and in production". Well, just think, the next fans will have their chips on fire, the rest of them will grab it. the main thing is not to forget about the agenda and you can completely forget about the quality of the plot. Well, comparisons with space are no less surprising. Hello, people, do you have no taste and sense of beauty at all? Well, you're being offered a slop once again, and you're just asking for more. Sheim he yu
The series flew up so fast, the series holds. Who knows who this maiden is ? I want to know her story. So far, I only understand that she was saved by aliens , but what important role does she play for them? Who is she anyway?
Have there been any comments about miskast yet? Halsey, in my opinion, was very well chosen, even though she is older in games. Chief-well, that's it... on the one hand, a healthy guy was needed, since the chief is a head taller than most people, here it's OK. But what does he need a beard for? He would have looked more authentic without her. Kitty is black, well, apparently for the sake of time, except for this moment, it seems to be more or less suitable. Covenants and prophets are well made, that's probably without question. In general, the universe is very large and there are plenty of global conflicts. If the series goes well, there will be enough material for more than one season
In general, it still feels like instead of a global conflict, the show is focused on interpersonal drama, with a cast that does not take out this drama. There is no point in talking about the canon, everything was clear with him even from the trailer and the news. And yes, another asteroid belt where a spaceship miraculously flies by))
@br1ella: castes are fine, it's just that the drama isn't worth the fuss. They have already said that this is Mandalorian number two. And you could have chosen a worse comparison, because ba-nal-but. And all the tricky turns are visible ten steps ahead. His sister is sitting at the covenant, separated in childhood and all that.
From the series of fantastic series of the early noughties, plus it's seasoned with a good budget and let the special effects be so-so in places, but damn it, I like it and I'll definitely watch it. They don't make such series anymore.
@EmilD: here I am in this series for sure that here is absolutely this atmosphere of the series from the noughties, the picture is identical and the characters are flat (not bad, they are just too "simple")
Damn, it's a top movie! Finally, something good came out. they will definitely look further, the second series has even gone beyond the first! I hope it will be on the same level!
The Mandalorian is on minimals, and if Pablo Schweiber still didn't go anywhere, then this is a teenage girl, how should I put it mildly, far from a Grog kid (Well, I liked the second series a little more, of course, but it's not interesting yet
It is very pleasant that even the hairs on the tips of the wings are visible in aliens. But damn, they move like Ja-Ja Bing, according to the dynamics themselves. And he, for a moment, was filmed 20 years ago. Twenty!
Also, I can't stop hearing COCOA EN. Cocoa cocoA ko ko ko ko.
Suddenly a great series. Of course, space bums could not do without, but it is much more interesting to watch than to wake up to the end of the expansion and to go to the end of the day, I am generally silent about the lack of a good reason.
The ending is clear. Chet realized that he had turned 180° and was not looking back. That's a hero! And then the morally hesitant ones got fucked up =))
the only thing that was successful was that the strangers look naturalistic.
But his wife turned out to be the one to "blow".

This character is completely a fantasy of the writers of the series
And the series itself looks easy, so far I like it.
