Back story, overtakes Halo story....
(Plot) Some Hollywood films get so engrossed in the lore and mythology they explain everything up to the point of the story they're trying to tell and then cram it into half an hour of gun blasting craziness.
Soooo, the first hour is the backstory, rise of the Spartan 2.0 programme, the plight of mankind as they are swept from the galaxy and the fall of Reach.
The last 40 minutes is Halo; Pillar of Autumn tumbles from the sky crashing, queue a scramble of gunfights and some cameos by otherwise major characters.
Halo blows up and none of the nuances of any of the locations, or chracters or the majesty of Halo itself is captured, there's not even enough time for a full shot of Halo against Basis and Threshold.
Johnson, Stacker, Foe Hammer they're not even named, Keyes is said three times in the film once when you meet him, once when you learn he's been captured, once when he's dead.
It's a cruel and edited world we live in, beware!
