Is the Master Chief turning Japanese?
Posted in Things that don't suck. on 02/25/2010 04:37 pm by TPJoshI really think so…
Let’s talk about Halo: Legends. It’s available on dvd and blu-ray. AND OnDemand. AND Itunes. AND Digital download. So pretty much anywhere.
I have read some other reviews on this film. I love how some “journalists” think it’s part of journalism to be snarky and jaded. I don’t get that. So, I do my best to tell it like it is.
Halo: Legends is a compilation of short films that revolve around the Spartan v. Covenant war from the Halo series. Each of the shorts was directed by fairly well known anime directors. The don’t really have anything to do with eachother other than the war, or the fact that they have a spartan or 2 in them. Personally, I like that. I love being told a good story. Kudos if you can get the story of an epic 3 hour movie out in 30 mins.
As a fan of the series, there is something for everyone. Weather it’s something that’s visually stunning, a different way of story telling, or something funny. Halo: Legends, in my mind delivers.
What I dislike is the price point. For me, it’s a bit too high. Also it does not include a digital copy version. If it did, I would say that the price point was just right. However, there are a TON of extras. There is a “making of” each of the episodes. Yeah… lots of extra time.
All in all, it was fun and interesting view through the eyes of different story tellers into a universe I have grown to love. Refreshing and poignant, this is a must see for Halo fans. For average Joe; he might dig it too.
Verdict: Fans= buy Non-fans= rent
