As a young 20-year-old female that is a fan of the Halo games, Master Chief, Cortana, and their battles against the Covenant aliens; I was excited to watch this adventure as a TV show and follow a storyline with classic video game action. I would say that is exactly what I got from watching the first three episodes of Halo.

The action is awesome and just like the video game. You can tell the developers paid close attention to the details. From the sound effects to the moves that Master Chief makes, the way he talks, his mannerisms, and the weapons. It was all very visually satisfying.

Until as the episodes go on, the cost becomes more dire and morally confusing to Chief. At some point, he is compelled to think for himself. That’s when the conflict happens.

It was interesting to see this problem arise in the series. It’s something I don’t recall seeing in the video games. We get to look deep into Master Chief’s mind and see the that he is dealing with some psychological problems. Master Chief thinking for himself is changing things.

I believe that is the moral lesson of the show. When you know something is right, it does not matter what other people say, even if they are in a higher position than you. You do what you know is right. You think for yourself.

From the 13-year-old perspective…

But even more interesting than that to me, is the storyline.

One thing that I have pulled from watching this series’ storyline is appreciating the ability to think for yourself. Master Chief and The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) have one mission. They are to find a way to defeat the Covenant at all costs.  Not counting the costs was something Master Chief was always ok with; he followed orders without question.

Master Chief is far from done from his development, but the process has started.

After all, the Covenant is still out there and there is still a war to be won.

I am excited to see what else happens as Master Chief figures out how to truly be a hero. His own kind of hero.

So… what to make of 'Halo'? I interviewed two individuals. Check out their reviews and perspective!

I’m a male teenager, and I’ve played many Halo games and have enjoyed the stories and gameplay throughout. The brand-new TV Series definitely takes from the games in the past and just blows it up in real life in incredible ways! It also adds an interesting twist to the first game while still implementing the same principles.

Seeing through Master Chief’s eyes and watching the incredible story is just so entertaining and always has me excited for the next episode. If you like the game—like I do— you’ll most likely like the series as well! I’m excited to continue to see Master Chief, and the rest of the crew at Reach, explore and battle the Covenant while Master Chief finds out more about himself then he ever knew he wanted to know.

Watching Master Chief fight and blast is just as cool as playing the game, plus the added action in the elaborate battles makes everything cooler. It’s always fun hearing the sound effects and moves that made us fall in love with the game at first all perfectly placed; and it was epic seeing through the POV of Master Chief’s helmet reminding us of the game even more. 

The storytelling aspect that comes along with it reveals hidden truths and crazy new things you may not have known or ever seen before, and it adds even more adventure to the original game.
