This story has been told over and over again... the protagonist is on one side of a cause, has an epiphany, switches to the other side, then destroys the former. Don't agree? Try Dances With Wolves, Ferngully, or Avatar. It's the same story. The difference this time is the US is the evil empire, which really is irritating. The other part of the movie that is bothersome is freedom for AI. In one scene, a robot is teaching human children in a school that they (robots) were created to be slaves. This completely dismisses sacrifices that millions of people made for freedom and human rights. Finally, the so-called General's uniform is completely wrong... fire your military advisor, they did you wrong.

Love at First Sight is not your typical Rom-Com. The narrator (fate or destiny) that continuously keeps the characters on track and breaks the 3rd wall is brilliant. Her narration and statistical analysis make the movie a little quirky and unique. As for the main characters, they definitely have chemistry together, are actually believable, and relatable. Who hasn't resisted spewing family drama and tragedies to people you just meet... and I really liked how Hadley influenced Oliver to speak from the hart. The supporting cast and storyline with a couple meaningful subplots, really make this a great Rom-Com.

I have no history with the Halo game and or familiar with canon. With that said, this series is a very good stand alone storyline loosely based upon the game. It's not just an adaption of a first-person shooter game. The series does have some of that, it's part of the storyline, not the main theme. It has a good plot and contains several intriguing sub plots, which supports the entirety of the series. Master Chief and Makee have an obvious connection and convincing chemistry. Halsey's history with Chief, her actions throughout the series, and her philosophical outlook about humanity add complexity and depth to the storyline. I understand it does not adhere to game canon, and I'm ok with that.
