Video game fans the Halo franchise is perhaps one of if not the most influential science fiction video game franchises of all time. As such a live action adaptation has been in the works for decades at this point well the very first episode of the live action Halo TV series has just been released and well then you know me I just had to check it out and so then here are my first impressions of the TV series which very little people were actually excited for with the TV series in question being called simply just "Halo" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is very hard for me describe not because it's either good or bad but because there's so little actual plot going on in this episode. Which is to be expected since this episode is the very very first episode of a new TV show but you still need to have an actual plot and the very fact that this episode doesn't have an actual plotline is huge freaking red flag for me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Pablo Schreiber as John-117 / Master Chief , Natasha McElhone as Catherine Halsey and Bookeem Woodbine as Soren-066. Also starring in this episode is Shabana Azmi as Margaret Parangosky , Natasha Culzac as Riz-028 , Olive Gray as Dr. Miranda Keyes , Yerin Ha as Kwan Ha , Bentley Kalu as Vannak-134 , Kate Kennedy as Kai-125 and Charlie Murphy as Makee , Danny Sapani as Captain Jacob Keyes.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that freaking bad. Which for this episode is a very good thing indeed heck it seems to me that this show might be very well cast indeed and that can only be a very good thing indeed in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the CGI effects for not only this episode but also possibly the rest of this TV series is Rocket Science VFX and Homemade Vfx. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really freaking bad yes there are some good to even decent looking effects in this episode but the vast majority of this CGI just look really freaking to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then as you all will know doubt know this TV series is based upon the Halo video game franchise and this TV show is pretty much just Halo in name only. Since there was nothing that's in this very first episode that screams Halo to me personally and I didn't even play Halo all of that much and even I can tell that the makers of this show didn't make a Halo show they made something else but they just slapped the Halo iconography all freaking other it and that's really it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
The biggest issue for me personally is the fact that the makers of this show admitted that they didn't even look at the video games that they were adapting. This is to me is a big issue because it shows that the creators of this TV series have no respect for this franchise and so they aren't going to get why the fans love these characters and love this world and in the end that will come back to hurt this show in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
I will admit that this episode does have a very exciting opening twenty minuets and if that had been the entire episode I would have been more the satisfied with this episode. However tho after those first twenty minuets this episodes gets really boring which is a shame because the episode started out on such promising aspects and yet for some strange it just couldn't keep up on all of that momentum in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this episode had / has an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty eight minuets and fifty six seconds. Which after those first twenty minuets this episode really does start to drag on simply because nothing new ins being added to the plot of this show and so it just comes across as being boring as all heck which is never going to be a freaking good thing at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then this show is meant to be an action show after all and so then that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was the best part of this episode. This is simply because the action that we got to see in this very episode was actually entertaining and was more in line with the Halo games then the rest of this episode was in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall so far this show isn't of to the best of starts for me personally but it could get better as the show continues butt you only get one chance to make a good first impression and well then this show failed to do that to me in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very post now then even tho I will not be giving this episode a rating simply because this is only the shows first ever episode and this isn't a review this is just my first impressions of the show and not an actual review of the freaking show in question.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the actual images that are actually from this actual freaking episode being Google Images this is simply because the official Bel-Air fandom wiki page actually has a wide varitity of images from this actual freaking episode all of which are currently featured / up and on Google Images right now / as we speak and plus all of the images that are currently featured / up and on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in freaking definition.
