Paramount+'s Halo TV series doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does break the video game adaptation curse that has doomed many before. Our review:
When it comes to video game adaptations, you can count on one hand the successful ones that have been able to capture what made their source material so beloved while also justifying making the transition to a new medium. At their worst , they feel like cash grabs that completely misunderstand the heart of their story. At their best , they become an enjoyable experience that catches you by surprise.
Still, it is a strong opening that also introduces us to Quan Ah who finds herself caught in the middle of the firefight that completely upends her whole world. The young Quan lived on Madrigal with her father and now will have to accompany Chief on a mission across the galaxy. What mission is that? Well, the Covenant originally came to Madrigal to retrieve a MacGuffin... I mean... mysterious artifact that they were willing to kill everyone for.
Instead, it abandons that very early in favor of showing a stonefaced Schreiber giving a performance that is mostly just staring at various things that risks being superficial. Yes, he is a soldier and has been trained to be cold in his demeanor though it takes some getting used to. Thankfully, it is balanced out with moments of Schreiber dealing with emotional outbursts as Master Chief tries to grapple with a past that has been kept from him.
This Is Actually the Sexiest Moment of 'The Batman' Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz's BatCat steam up the screen in this very specific scene from Matt Reeves' DC movie.
