I'm a huge sucker for a good sci-fi. Especially with solid story and believable stuff. Before this movie (how I got to know this movie) I played/watched Halo games (1,2,3). I knew some story, but not all. I liked the story. And when I watched this movie, I loved it and I rewatched many, many times.
This may contain spoilers:
This movie starts from a point of view of a brilliant scientist in very rough times. She needs to do what many good scientists do: unimaginable and risky stuff. We can clearly see all her reasons, and she questions herself, but then she says something like "i will be absolved of all sins" if she succeeds. If not, everyone will be dead. Like in a typical romantic novel, but it works here! After that we follow the life of the main character and his becoming The Master Chief. We see his mistakes, how he handles them, learns from them, he grows and becomes wiser, the man we see in the game. The ideal soldier. Although he is depicted as a "soulless machine" in the games, here we still see him as a caring leader and this is his story.
This movie is like an additional video material from the series of games, like some sort of top secrets (Spartan-2 project) revealed in detail. Some may say that animation is bad, but I liked it.
Summary: Is this a movie? It's animation. Is this a good movie? Yes! Is this a bad movie? Not at all! Will I recommend it? Absolutely.
