I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Nightfall absolutely NAILS the characters, all of them are different from one another. Not only that, but it keeps you on your toes. The plot advances at a very good pace, but it may get dull to some. The tone is very Halo esque (no spoilers here). It really characterized Locke better than Halo 5 did, but then again, Halo 5 had little to no character development. Action was very fast paced and motives are clear. Sometimes an actor may mis-say a word, or just not be clear, but that is the only flaw. Worth every penny.

*Minor Plot Spoilers* I'm not the biggest Halo fan, I'm not going to lie. I've played all of them, but I'm not going to complain about how many shots it takes a magnum to break an Elite's shields, but I know enough about movies to say how lazy this is. The plot of this series is boring. It takes place mostly on the broken Halo ring from Halo 1 where a group of ONI soldiers have to plant a bomb to destroy some anti-human element found there. Most of the plot is just this group of humans wandering around a wasteland and arguing about sides Survivor style. I was hoping maybe to see a return of the Flood on the ring, but instead we get... hunter worms? Thats right. Hunter worms not in their armor. They act as the generic sci-fi sound hearing monster and brought nothing interesting to the table. That was a curious choice to make, seeing as the flood could have done basically the same thing and make a bit more sense... speaking of curious choices, one of the first scenes of the movie they introduce a new alien species out of the blue that I've never heard of., so I looked them up and they were just made up specifically for that one scene. So under utilized that they don't even have a wikipedia page. Anyway, the marines go around the planet, draw lines, betray each other,and eventually get off the planet with their mission done. The characters themselves are as dull as they get and they all lack character. Locke? Well he's a marine commander... that's all. Master Chief had more emotion and he's equatable to a pet rock as far as emotions go. People complained about the CGI in this show, but I thought it was pretty decent for a TV show... then I saw its MASSIVE budget and realized how bad it was for the money. Yeah the CGI was good, but at times it just looked fake. I'm pretty sure the graphics of Halo 4 outmatched this by far, but still, the only star I'm giving this show is for the CGI. So, in the end this show is as boring and generic as it gets. Every plot point is predictable and can easily be seen a mile away.It was bad. It was boring. It was not worth your time. But my biggest question is simply, why is this a Halo series? Watch this... A group of Alliance marines fights an evil alien, the Slurgs, and finds out that there's an anti-human element on a planet orbiting around a super nova. There they find an evil alien worms called Hunter Worms. It's up to them to destroy the element and avoid the worms. Boom, I just made this movie entirely non- Halo. The only real reason this movie was Halo was to draw in the massive Halo fanbase, but it used so little of Halo's lore that it didn't seem worth it. The good news is that it didn't seem like it was a cheap cash-in, but it just didn't need to be a Halo series at all. I would feel a lot more comfortable reviewing some B-Movie generic sci-fi, but now I have to review a Halo generic B- movie Sci-fi. If Locke is the main character in Halo Guardians, I think I'll skip that one.

To get immediately to the point - This movie was SH*T!The acting was poor and very amateurish - everyone was a soldier so in Halo Nightfall this meant everyone had really no personality at all. Ultimately you do not care if anyone dies. (Which thankfully a lot do). I don't know what happened between the movie Forward into Dawn (which was awesome) and this piece of crap. Seriously! What happened to the producers, directors and editors from that movie?...did they walk out and the production studio then have to grab some 15 year old Red Bull brained Halo geek to finish the job?I don't know where the budget for this movie went? - I reckon the staff just used half of it to buy beer and buy x-box consoles. I love the Halo franchise but this production just pisses me off. Some how they don't have enough special effects budget for more than one Covenant soldier - the rest of the movie the cast are trying to survive against a modified Hunter Worm that is attracted to technology.......oh no.....this premise means that besides the point that it belongs in a 70's B-movie reflects the fact that its a bloody good excuse not to use any money to do anything worthwhile in the movie. No CGI rendering needed for Covenant soldiers, ships, weapons - just get the cast to run away from crappy CGI red worms!!! I don't think a single weapon is fired in this movie. There is no technological innovative warfare that the Halo Franchise is built on. Its just lifeless people on a lifeless planet running away from giant sci-fi b-movie red worms. I think this movie is a big arrogant middle finger to fans of Halo who will probably spend money to watch this movie because it bears the name of Halo (which it shouldn't). Halo fans could have done a better job.

First, I have to say I am a huge fan of Halo series, I was not expecting a plot exactly as the original series but come on, this is simply horrible and I love sci-fi movies!I've seen all 4 episodes wishing something well worth mentioning would occur but until today i have disappointments all the time.I will be honest with you, the first episode was not that horrible, it make me curious for the second one even if did not impressed me at all.The story is a mess, no interest and acting is really poor.Please give back the viewers the 70 millions!?!?! spent in this movie, From my point of view, the way things are, this series has no future!!!!
