Forward Unto Dawn had a tiny budget of 10 million dollars. It's incredible what they were able to achieve. This is what the Halo show should've been
True that! Forward Unto Dawn and Landfall did what Paramount+ couldn't with 90-200 million.
@@RetroGamingDad87 Well… landfall kinda missed the mark but yes
Edit: I meant Nightfall
@@Rocco049 Just to clarify, Halo landfall is the halo 3 Advertisement short film where ODSTs fight brutes to triangulate where Master Chief will land at the start of Halo 3. Halo Nightfall is the short film where you follow agent Locke and his ONI team, along with a retired spartan, on a mission to the first destroyed halo.
@@zerolulu4095 whoops! I was thinking of Nightfall, thanks for the correction
Nightfall was cool.
this takes place in 2526, so John, Kelly and Fred were ~15 years old
Yep. It's so interesting to think that the cadets felt so young and were looking up to chief, but chief was way younger than all of them. Like they were young adults, but the spartans were actual children.
Makes you really think about how badly the spartan IIs were robbed of their childhood.
@@Notskiit doesnt matter. Without the Spartan program, humanity would be extinct.
@@thebazhammer2610 "it doesn't matter" is an odd way to put it.
I agree with you that it was probably necessary, but it *does* matter. Losing one's humanity in order to protect humanity makes you wonder what you're actually protecting in the first place...
@@Notski they didn't lose their humanity
They knew what happened to them
They knew it was for the greater good
So Anna Popplewell who played Chyler Silva was not in Bridge to Terabithia but she did find a magical land through a wardrobe.
lol yeah, she did correct herself later into the video
Fun fact, I’m pretty confident that is a real warthog! They made a drivable to scale warthog, I remember them showing it off leading up to the show!
Believe so. 2 or 3 have been made so far
Spartan 104 is Fred. And yes, eye augmentations were a part of the spartan bio-upgrades.
The actor that plays the Master Chief in this is the same actor who plays Colossus in the x-men movies.
"controlled bursts, don't spray n' pray" the quote that forever changed how i use automatic weapons in video games
And that's applicable in reality as well... full auto mag dumps with pretty much any caliber are hella inaccurate; at least in my experience 😅
Fun fact: Thomas Lasky is actually a year older than Chief, and they're both teenagers during this.
It was originally released as episodes, but later was released as a movie.
This takes place really early in the Human/Covenant war, that's why almost nobody knows about the Covenant or Spartans.
Chief's a lot younger in this, so they didn't get Steve Downes to play his VA, but if I recall correctly there were also questions about whether or not he was gonna return to voice Masterchief for Halo 4 and supposedly Microsoft was trying to replace him and Jen Taylor (Cortana), but they are both irreplaceable.
What I've always liked about Forward Unto Dawn, is that when they meet Chief, they think he's a robot because of the way he talks and acts. But when they meet the other Spartans and they take their masks off and then look at Chief, they realise they're not robot's but human like them but also different because they look like they have the same age as them. But to the Spartans, for them they don't see themselves as human but as... machines designed to follow orders or designed to be soldiers
Chief is canonically 15 years old btw at this point.
39:51 it is common. Majority of the community believe we don't need to see his face, his actions and a his few words is all we need to see him.
Doesn't matter how he looks like, we see him as good character and a human being.
Chief breaking open the weapons locker: “get geared up”
Cadet Meg as the little mouse with the violin sound: 🔫🥹
24:52 whats worse about her death it’s that you can see she got SUPER COMBINED, it essentially means that she got hit with enough needler rounds to literally explode
They actually filmed this movie around vancouver, thats why you have such deep almost eldrich looking woods and misty mountains everywhere. They also filmed the warthog segments on old logging roads.
This movie is the reason I named my dog Lasky
Are you also going to react to Halo Wars? Definitely worth it IMO!
Yes!
Give how much Meg is enjoying Halo I’ll bet she’ll actually enjoy Halo 5.
She's very forgiving I'll give her that so you might not be wrong.
@@internetgoat4831As someone who’s played since the beginning but also read all the books, I enjoyed it all. Sorry the casuals cant enjoy.
When Chief did that mission he was only 15 years old, and that's canon
Back when this was coming out, it was so hype, however, nowadays Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn is so underrated, I'm glad to see people still watching it, as it is really cool!
Before I forget: there's another Halo web-show that you should watch before Halo 5: Guardians called Halo: Nightfall.
Look at her backseating Chief and the noobs! I'm so proud 🥲
Fun fact: If you grew up in Australia during the 00's you'll know Lasky's actor as Sammy from Dance Academy, and I cannot disconnect him in my head from that role, which made Foreword unto Dawn a very weird viewing experience.
I remember when this was released in parts as episodes.
It's an awesome day for MegMage and Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn
have a wonderful Tuesday Meg.🎵🎶🎼🙋🐕🎼🎶🎵
“This isn’t good.”
“ODST’s dropping in is never good.”
Love that line.
I’m really glad you did this one and especially the bloopers at the end! Always completes the experience for me! Have a good day!
God I almost forgot that Cortana got so very close to actually killing Chief while he was in cryo.
It kills me that this was not only done on a super tight budget, but done *better* than something that had a full budget like the Halo tv show. This is what the tv show should have aspired to be. THIS is what happens when people who respect and love the franchise work on something. Doesn't matter if they have to cut corners, they'll find a way to keep it faithful.
In case no one has mentioned it, Osric Chau is the actor for Chen and was in 19 episodes of Supernatural among other things.
Yay was so looking forward to this video 👌🏼😁😁😁😁
Love this voice for Chief, he's a lot younger so makes sense it would be different in his teenage years
I've not seen this before but YO ITS ABOUT LASKEY!? I really like him in the game, along with Sarah Palmer they are some of my favorite characters.
To put things in perspective, the entire budget for Forward Unto Dawn was around the same as a single episode of the Paramount Halo series
this was filmed in Vancouver B.C. Canada forest and it was winter.
This happened at the very start of the war, 27 years before the events of Halo CE.
THis is a great moment inbetween playthroughs to watch this. Absolutely love this movie. And love that you are getting into the LOREEE!
14:30 That was Chief Mendez
In this point of the story, Spartan 2's age is between 13-15 years old.
John 117 by this age has outranked almost everyone.
This is about 26 years before reach and the other games. John is around 15 or 16 years old in this movie.
the bald janitor in the bts is Frank O'Connor of 343
Hi Meg hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Meg giving backseat gaming tips to this is excellent ❤
YES. I'm so glad you watching this.
I remember when this came out as webisodes weekly on this one machinima channel that doesn’t exist anymore
Love this^^
Forgot this one, was good! They also did a little live action series for Halo 5 and I really liked it too.
I REALLY recommend watching/listening to the halo Hunt the truth episodes. An amazing piece of halo content if I do say so myself! And Sully from forward unto dawn makes an appearance as an antagonist of sort
Blue eyes cause their Spartans
104 is Fred, and this event would have taken place less then a year after sams death, chief and the other spartan II's would have been about 15 years old, the cadets were all 19-21 years old
This was so good. Probably my favorite halo media outside of the games. Still better than some stuff we get today.
28:27 that's is a scary information. At best, it took the covenant an hour to almost clear the planet.
When comparing to battle of reach and earth. Who have the best of the best and most militarized. The other planets were really a horror movie.
Forward unto dawn is great honestly makes me sad that the Halo show failed so badly
Yeah, they had around 20x the budget and they butchered it
Originally it was released as web episodes you could watch on RUclips free of charge they later combined it all into one film, what gets me is it was incredibly low budget but they still made it one of the best Halo action film and it did really well though got the usual hate from ultra fans that complained that the chief was not in it more or that there was to much talking and not enough action, which always amused me as this story was never about the Chief or meant to be action focused.
it was a web series and came out as a movie after
8:50 I'm just going to bookmark this for my own sake wot wot.
Fred is 104.
The UNSC-Covenant War is based alot off of Babylon 5's Earth-Minbari War. Both wars where humanity stood at the brink against a religious zealot enemy and barely made it mostly though luck.
Yeah so Chief is 15 in this movie...
Sadly this is the best live Action Halo I will experience before I become an old lady
My only wish for this movie was more Covenant depictions and involvement. Yes, keep it as is, but show more of them rather than just weapons fire or brief encounters. I also wish they let us see Linda, though I think she's in Green Team at this time. Otherwise, this movie is absolutely amazing. I've always loved it.
They had to go through such hard training in the academy because they're training to go to war against "terrorists". Anything less and they're not gonna be ready for it
What makes you think Chief and the other Spartans WEREN'T sociopaths?
Honestly i like this Chief plus the voice too and he’s younger so in the end i was okay without Steve downes in this
Just a reminder to please not discuss any lore that Meg has not come across yet - be it in books, cinematics, or elsewhere. (She wants to discover it all herself.) Thank you!
LETS GOOOOOOOO!!! 🥵🥵🥵
Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Meg watch the TV series Its Worth it I promise don't listen everyone else it's good on it own.
