That is the sickest thing I've seen in a long time. It'd be cool as heck to have these kind of short films on the same disc as the games.
This made me want to go back to finish the game on it's highest difficulty, SWEET.

That was pretty impressive for $500.00. That short film sequence trumps some of the garbage coming out of hollywood lately.

I could easily see this getting picked up by the Sci-Fi network and be the next big television series. Like Battlestar Galactica. hell, i might start watching TV again if this was on...

Actually, scratch that last idea of TV, leave it on the net, this way there isn't anyone (networks) screwing it up...

It's the best independent live action videogame adaptation I've seen so far!

Really reminds me of Neil Blomkamps Independant stuff. Style wise and how its shot. Anyone else happy to hear that him and peter jackson are making a feature length version of alive in joburg instead of a halo movie?

Anyone who doesnt know check out alive in joburg and you'll see waht I mean. (the movie its been made into is called district 9)

Anyway this was AWESOME! I really liked it alot. Definitely want to see more of this!

Wow, thats damn impressive for a short film, i wonder what kind of budget went into that, the combine costumes, obviously the citadel is CG probably right from HL2 but it looks damn good for an independent film.

The visuals are absolutely incredible but the direction is utterly hopeless.

EXCELENT WORK.

Great camera tracking, CG and especially sound. The acting talent left a little be desired, but I greatly enjoyed this.

That short film was made of pure WIN.

Now if only Valve could hurry up and release HL2 Episode 3...

I think the city and fx look very good for $500

The direction could be better, not enough diff angles etc.

And some well known actors would help.

But tbh i still thought that was excellent.

Please hollywood, pick up this freakin game and make it into a FILM.

You know who should be Gordon Freeman.

Gene hackman.

The man^ can bring any film to life.

It would be great if they made a feature film in the Half-Life 2 world but leaving Gordon freeman out would be best. refer to him see security camera footage of him aslong as he isn't in a situation to be hear talking. I think the struggle of the rebels and trying to escape the combine/the city is a great idea.
