what do you guys think of this?

i think it might make for a pretty good movie, if it ever gets made...

[Bwgmon]

My prediction:

It will be similar to DOOM, only with more Chainsaw action. Will be a good movie, but will generally be ignored by mainstream media.

YEAH!!! Gow movie OWNS

i dont know because of the directors on this film and the critics....if it gets good reviews it will be hott

Oh no....I so wish it was April 1st today...

The game was great but let's face it, the story wasn't a touch on Microsoft's other science fiction series, Halo, it sucked. The characters weren't especially charashmahtic (spelling, sorry guys) and the best of the story was in the Collector's Edition Destroyed Beauty artbook, no way is this gonna work as a movie with the universe the original game created.

It had great gameplay oh hell yeah, I loved the game, I just think this movie's gonna be a cash cow. Can we get some stuff on a Halo movie please (it seems to me like that project hasn't moved for a year or two now)

Sorry if I sound like a biased Halo fan here, I don't mean to but that's just my opinion

Like Bwgmon, I think this is similar to Doom - which was, to say the best, a mediocre movie.

For a start, Gears has been out for less than 6 months, and if he storyline is the same as the games, my question is - what's the point?

I can't see another storyine merging out of this (other than what happens in future Gears), so this film, in my opinion, will suck :)

If you read about the story on the internet you realize the story had the potential to be descent (not great, but descent) but they botched in the game.

[Leon Kennedy]

Well, all the story really was was Humans vs Locust, the Locust had no told motives and I already mentioned the characters. The Covenant were given very huge motives and backstory for why they do what they do, it's not just "Let's kill humans because well...because!"

[Spartan]

I think it's because the humans were harvesting the Imulsion and Locust needed that to live.

[Leon Kennedy]

And couldn't they have just negotiated? I understand that some groups of people would just do that, but actually Spartan, the game never stated that once. The Campaign was great still though despite the lacksture plot

[Spartan]

There is really nothing more to explain: The plot had potential to be okay. They botched it. No I don't think they could have negotiated: 1. 8 foot walking lizards in human form with combat armor and weapons approach the leader of Sera and ask to move off. Humans would trust them? Listen to them? Given the nature of humans, no. 2. Would Locust have negotiated? Given their obvious brutal nature, no. 3. If they negotiated and didn't fight would it make a phenomeon game? No :p.

Peace isn't always an easy answer and even when it is, is it always used?

[Leon Kennedy]

Yeah well, as true as those statments were, a motive for the Locust could have at least tried to save the story really, even if a small one
