@ Craig A. Betts:

I don’t know man. I only played the first Halo, but I remember it’s story being sort of disjoint and thematically unbalanced jumping from the colorful and somewhat cartoony Covenant forces to the HL2 zombie like enemies and back. As a game it was quite enjoyable, but I’m not sure how it would translate into a movie. Then again, it’s Peter Jackson so maybe he would have figured out a way.

Yeah, me too – but that doesn’t stop me from nitpicking and yelling at the writers for making obvious errors. Jarring plot holes ruin my suspense of disbelief and take me out of the experience. Also, I tend to over-analyze the stuff I watch so that I can review it – which means that Fridge Logic hits me quicker than an average viewer.

Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp were originally slated to make the Halo movie. After seeing District 9, I have hopes the plans will be reinstated. Yeah, there were a lot of holes and Hollywoodization of District 9, but I accept movies for what they are, entertainment.

Thanks for posting that clip.
