Scrobbs Posted February 16, 2009 Live action short of the story arc in HL2. It is blimmin' good. HD version of part 1: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted February 16, 2009 I really like it. The writing is cringe-worthy though and so is some of the acting but I really, really like it. They nailed the atmosphere. The way the Combine die could have been lifted straight out of the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erkki Posted February 16, 2009 Cool. Though it irritated me that almost all the sound in the first half was coming from left. Watching the second time, it wasn't so bad. I have crappy speakers so could be their fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted February 16, 2009 The parts where they didn't act were awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lama Himself Posted February 16, 2009 The sound effect doesn't really fit the video. It's funny they used the same sound effect than the game but beyond the reference itself, it doesn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted February 16, 2009 The parts where they didn't act were awesome. Yep. Oh crap, now I want a Children of Men-esque Half-Life 2 film. Can it be done? Without suckage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrestlevania Posted February 17, 2009 Now I want a Children of Men-esque Half-Life 2 film. Can it be done? Without suckage? Anything's possible -- just depends on who eventually gets ahold of the film rights. Wasn't there supposed to be something Half-Life-related already in the pre-production phase anyway? Is Escape it?

DanJW Posted February 17, 2009 I agree with what's been said here; terrible acting, lazy soundwork, but excellent CGI and compositing (I'm a big fan of good compositing). Good costumes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
