I have to say, I've never played Halo, but this show actually gave me a reason to do so. I understand from many reviews that most people are bummed by the fact that MC is humanised but it is probably the best turn from the game series itself. This is a fully fledged, standalone sci fi show that is absolutely worth watching and is played flawlessly and directed in an engaging manner. The only thing that might be not in its favour is the fact that seasons are really short, maybe too short for such an amazing storyline . If Paramount decides not to renew this, it most likely be seen like Firefly, but if they do decide to run with it, it might give them the boost in subscribers that they deserve.

Bravo!

Taken out of context the movie might appeal to drama aficionados but the movie is in a context that is so true, so gripping it just not real without the truth. Romanians have been flocking abroad since the end of communist era and this has torn the families apart. Sure it has happened all over Eastern Europe, but Romanians have a Latin family oriented lifestyle and by losing the core of it's society (family) it is just losing the plot. Dig deeper into anyone's estranged family and you might find enough drama for a similar movie . A standing ovation for the way the story unfolded, slowly, with almost no dedicated soundtrack apart from the music that summaries right now Romania , back-water uncultured but with a resonance for the masses. Impressive !

Such a great true story was incredibly put onto the big screen with a warm & light look from a family's eye-view & a great adult to childhood's way of seeing things.Every viewer can take what's in front of him how he likes it.You can watch the movie from the perspective of a young restless colored boy,a happy family's payout or a nobody to stardom sports tale.I looked the entire movie with all 3 perspectives in mind and i definitely felt great on all of them.It made me laugh,sigh,cheer,and laugh again.On times like these we learn to appreciate more the comings and goings of true people and last but not least the education,what it means and what stands for.Great acting by all of them and great screening of a story. Enjoy it !
