Half-Life Fan Movie: Escape from City 17

Someone in my class today was talking about this. Looks pretty damn good though see what he means about the zombies being a little... cheap.
Combine look great though.

 

That made me get excited...

 

It actually wasn't bad. I kinda liked it.
As SuA said, they need weapons training.
Looks and sounds like the game which is impressive. Pretty good stuff.

EDIT: Grenade explosion looked a little cheesy.

 

Is it just me or does the Tower in the City 17 video reminds me with its red glow to the Sauron Tower from Lord of the Rings

 

Do you mean making the firearms operate realistically or make the characters seem like they were trained to shoot? If it's the latter then I would respond that the City 17 resistance was mostly a lot of civilians with guns.

Anyway, definitely one of the best fanfilms out there. Up there with Batman: Dead End. I hope they are able to finish it into a satisfying narrative.

 

Not trying to question the professional quality of their work, but it leaves me very cold. I can't prevent myself from seeing Half Life the computer game with real life characters inserted inside, instead of a real world in which would appear half life elements. Maybe it's hard to get out or beyond the original media, and probably, being mostly a showcase of their talent, it lacks its autonomy as a piece of art.

But it may also be my usual "same shit over and over again" rant against those kind of "inspired by" movies ...

 

Also no one in the actual game shoulders the smg as it is too small.

 

I liked it, although I thought that the whole ear ringing sound was a tad overdone.

 

Errr, have you played HL2? You hear that each time you kill a troop.

 

I think that sound is supposed to be a heart monitor or EKG type device attached into the Combine.

 

Half Life Real life!

Judging by the pixilation of that films screen, I don't want to watch it.

 

People SHOULD NOT redo these things in their own native language man.... it should be illegal.

The Italian killed it for me lol.... Italian G-Man? And the headcrab was very funny lol...

 

I'm just like "WTF" when i saw the headcrab zombie.....

Look very funny instead of scary like the one in the game.

 

I haven't in a while, but I never remembered it so prominently.

Wow that was hilarious.

 

Yeaaaahhh I don't know... If that was my film, I'd be pretty darn proud
