Alex Garland’s Million Dollar Halo Script reviewed!

Latino Review has handed down a Five Star Rating to the Halo Movie Script!
This comes directly from a critic who has not played the games, but did enough research on the back story to see if the movie fits. Obviously, it looks like we’re in for a fast paced Covenant War unlike anything we’ve ever seen in film or games if this review is to be beleived.
I’ll admit that even though I like the Halo story, its second to the action. Garland (28 Days Later) was hand picked for this project because the Covenant are religious radicals not far off in behavior from the rage zombies. And without having to factor in stuff like player difficulty and whether the processor can handle “X” many troops on screen at once, the Halo flick will likely amp up every major event from the first game. We’re even going to be given battle scene with an entire Spartan army (I’m sure we’ll all be looking for Spartan 458)! And thats the first scene in the movie!
Obviously, even though it’ll be taking the game’s story and the review only covers the first act, spoilers follow so read at your own risk.
