Wonderfully offbeat film!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

"Halo: Landfall" is a 7-minute short film from 2007, so this one has its 10th anniversary this year and it was among the final short film works by South African director Neill Blomkamp before he made the Oscar-nominated District 9, which in my opinion is still easily his best career effort. As for this one here: You get an impression of what a live action version of the mega-successful video game Halo with Blomkamp as director would have looked like. The genre is not my preferred choice and the story, if there was one, did not impress me either I must admit. Yes it did look okay overall, but this turns it a bit into style over substance. Still I think war movie enthusiasts and huge Halo fans can find it appealing, so these groups are perhaps the only ones who may want to check it out. For me personally, it is a contender for Blomkamp's worst.
