The guys review Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, a 2012 web series-turned-movie that follows military cadets who must team up with Master Chief when their academy is attacked by the Covenant.
• A tale of two halves, with the first portion focusing on cadet training that feels slow and uninspired
• The film dramatically improves once the Covenant attack begins around the midpoint
• Excellent atmospheric portrayal of the Covenant as genuinely terrifying threats
• Master Chief's portrayal strikes the perfect balance between badass soldier and empathetic hero
• Impressive use of a $10 million budget to create effective horror-action sequences
• Fflawed but still delivers what Halo fans want from a live-action adaptation
• Significantly better than the big-budget Paramount+ Halo series that followed
