WOW dude. you may not be american, but you fit the same old usual stereotypical foreign fuck that gets its rocks off bagging on the american culture, now i dont give a rats ass where you may be from, nobody really does… but if i knew where you were from i could come up with a number of stereotypical comments for your lame ass country as well.. grow the fuck up.

This film has awesome potential. i would be ecstatic if i saw previews for this film in a theater near me.

This is almost entirely accurate to the game! instead of trying to “inject” some sort of style into the thing like most game to movie films now days they followed the working formula. I’d venture to say this is the most impressive project to date since the first star wars film.

I can’t even express the amount of awe I’m feeling. I’m inspired, And based on this I’ve decided to go back to school this fall. I can’t wait to see Part 2.

Did you really have to bring your American bashing into this discussion you worthless meatbag? And before you assume I am not an American.

This is an awesome piece of work, and the acting is fine with my only critique being the “I hate walking ok? grrr!” line.

Could I do better? Not in my wildest dreams. Speaking of which, in my wildest dreams someone made a movie about Half Life. So thanks for fulfilling that and showing me that chasing a dream can pay off!

Rather it refers to the money spent on live-action elements, like the authentic-looking uniforms worn by the brutal Combine enforcers. “The costumes, and used/broken airsoft guns made up the bulk of the budget. There was no crew. We weren’t paid for the hours of time we put into it.” [...]

Sorry but what I’ve seen on Sci-Fi Channel isn’t exactly what I’d call “polished”. Most of it is bad over acting paired with obvious CGI work.”

So, what are you objecting to? Escape from City 17 IS a “polished” piece of bad over acting paired with obvious CGI work, i.e., the fake handheld camera, which breaks the illusion for me.
Nonetheless it is quite impressive, especially from a budget and resource perspective. But it is in no way the fundament I would wish for a Half-life movie.
