Originally
a five part miniseries, the movie was a small feature released prior to the
Xbox release of Halo 4. It follows the story of Lasky, the commander of the
ship 'Forward Unto Dawn', and his training years at the academy. His struggle
to find his place in his floundering unit and his health problems are just a
speck when faced with a new enemy, the Covenant.
It's
kind of hard to judge this appropriately, as it is a small indie film with a
bigger budget. It was very interesting for the first ten minutes, slow and
boring for the next forty minutes and then action-packed for the next half
hour. The characters were poorly developed, but the special effects and overall
story was good. This isn't meant to be a feature film, but its higher budget
makes it feel like it should have been better.

Don't
listen to the description this movie gives you. I still don't really know what
happened, but it involved two guys named David and John, some strange drug that
gives you control over time and space and an all-powerful sentient being from
another dimension.
It's
strange, confusing and erratic, but there is a plot in there somewhere.
Regardless, it was a fun journey as long as your head doesn't explode, which
happened a lot in the movie.
