I want a clean cinematic aesthetic, with great wide angle shots, and epic scale. Halo's aesthetic could be done justice by Darren Aronofsky, Danny Boyle, or even the Watchowskis.
Fall of Reach would be the easiest version of the movie to make. Was the script ever leaked... Watchowskis would fuck it up sooo bad. Darren would be good though. I do agree though I would rather have a clean look to the movie, but not too clean as in safe. I like D9 too, but I it has 0 rewatchability which Halo would have to have.

Have to agree with this Hobo (:P), 3 was pretty good in its sci-fi ness.

Although ODST felt like 'grounded' sci-fi, and better for it, ODST is my favourite Halo SP.

We need a spartan Home on the Infinity where can walk around and see other players on our friend's list to chat with and check each other out! You could walk around and when people are in games or not online, you can see them in cryosleep. /trollface ;) Although a smaller version might be kind of interesting lol.

Holy fucking shit, is that Krul? That film scared the living death out of me when I was about 6. I shouldn't have been watching it but I used to stay at a friend of the families house and they had a son who let us watch his film collection. I was always baffled, especially at that age, how the corridors and hallways inside the mountain looked so manmade.

It's Krull, yes.

James Horner's score is also pretty damn good.

Star Wars Episode 4-6 are my favorite in this order 5>4>6, while 1-3 I don't even consider part of the series. I've watched Bladerunner. Actually I even had it on DVD until I lost it lol. I love sci-fi movies. Might be my favorite Genre. But, and I stress the word, but, that movie is, for lack of better words, really slow. I can appreciate the atmosphere and world that Ridley Scott created, but for me it was really uninteresting. It's one of those artsy movies that gets a lot of praise, but the overall movie is kind of ho-hum. I know -- people want to shoot me now and tea bag my body. I'm sorry. This may get some laughs, but I actually liked The Arrival, with Charlie Sheen, and The Running Man, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, better than Bladerunner.

EDIT: Oh and add the movies Dune (1984), and Moon, with Sam Rockwell, to that list. Moon was slow, but far more intriguing. Shoot, I liked the Last Starfighter, better.

A little late to the party but the new weapon looks like it brings the pain. Also reminds me of a spartan portable UNSC version of the shade turrets from Halo Anniversary.

Gotta agree with this. Trailers had me extremely hyped, then I saw it and ended up hating it, what an awful 2nd and 3rd acts. Can't believe the praise it gets, but I'm glad that guy is not doing the Halo movie.

The NullPointer abides, man.

Also, count me in as semi-happy that the Halo movie didn't get made, at least not at that time. I think the design approach in Halo since Reach looks more filmic and CGI quality has increased so damn much in just a few years that something made nowadays would look generations beyond what Bloomkampf could have achieved, even though I think his heart was in the right place.

I'm not really disappointed there was no Halo movie. I don't think Halo could be adapted to a good film. Medicore action piece, sure. But not a great science fiction movie. Well, at least i think chances for it being are remote..

Halo would make a good TV series though. Tell small stories over the course of the war, have a few main character groups to give a few different viewpoints, ideally, IMO, Spartans (starting from kidnapping and training), some civilian group (possibly a commander/admirals family/friends?), some marines or ODSTs (the latter would be ideal, show that rivalry beetween Spartans and ODSTs) and even a Covenant viewpoint (their motivations, hatred, questioning their actions etc).

Halo short films nailed the visual style i think.
