Anyone here gonna watch it when it comes out, the trailer looks badass. Also if you don't know what the hell Half-Life is then thats sad.

Heres the trailer of it, tell me what you liked about it. Also, it's real people. :)

Watch Half-Life Trailer

Everything I see is just a image of my thoughts "Always looking for a better day..."

You scared me there for a moment. But no. That's not a real trailer. Thank god.

A Half-Life movie would be terrible because I think part of the beauty about half-life is it is very movie-like in its style. Taking it into a movie would just be ruining that aspect.

Nope even then, it's impossible. I seriously don't see what the need is to make video game movies in general. A video game, if it's a good one, will have such a great plot that it's already like a movie...but with interactive features too, especially with half-life. Why make a movie which will take out that interactivity and also mess up the plot of the story that was already perfectly fine the way it was in the original game.

The fact Gordon never actually speaks kind of creates a great mystery around him, as if he is beyond everyone. This great power. Like a machine. In the movie, if he just walked around all the time in action without speaking it would be boring, and if he did speak, it would ruin the tension.

Well clearly you didn't before. The way you seconded the hope that it WOULDN'T turn out like 'doom' shows that you believed it was a real movie in the making. Now you're just trying to twist how you put it to make you sound clever.

It would be absolute shit. Half Life + Half Life 2 are so refreshing because they're so immersive. You never leave the character, you never stop being able to choose where you look for example, people talk to you, you don't answer back because that would remind the player that they're playing as someone else. It's not just putting you in Gordon Freeman's shoes, but it's putting you in his eyes, his ears, and his mind as well. A movie would ruin this as it breaks down that idea. You can't get truly immersed in a movie, for example, movies generally aren't filmed entirely POV of one character, like a video game is.

You don't even have to read that disclaimer to realize that, the low-budget corniness was just oozing from it. Good christ, the sound effects were from the game, people. If that wasn't a giveaway, then I don't know

I can't believe you thought that was bad-ass, Lost-Wisdom, the guy who played Gordon was awful, he looked like a metre maid.

That would be a great movie, if it were real. They did a good job with that.

Chuck Norris. Solid Snake. Maddox.

it'd be damn cool though, but they wouldn't success unless they've played all the games
through twenty times each!

Also, I don't think that people would like how Gordon's voice would turn out.

I hope it does turn out like the Doom movie. It was awesome. I also sincerely hope that it would be directed by Uwe Boll, because he's one of the best filmmakers in the industry today.
