I think this might be one of the best half-like short films. It had some actual suspense, rather than beind a special effects montage. Sure it just HAD to have one of those fucking CGI super slomo bullet shots but the costumes and actors were great. The setting was a little off, urban dormitories don't really seem black mesa-ish but other than that it was great.
good costumes, decent effects, mediocre actors, shit writing
The woman seriously sounded like a man when she first spoke. She also didn't sound too frightened when the HECU were aiming at her with guns, her voice barely even rose
Want a HEV suit so much :v:

She doesn't know she was going to get shot. If I was in her situation I just assumed they had their guns drawn because I just ran out of the darkness and startled them.
The woman's acting was quite bad, others were okay.

While I agree with you, it's not that shit writing that it would have ruined everything. I enjoyed watching this despite it really does not fit with the original game that well.
You can't just have a main character in a movie not talk. I thought it was fine that it was at a minimum. Now it would be different if he was like "EUGHHHHHH AHHHH SHIT BLUAGHHHHHH" when he was hitting the zombie.
Honestly the only actor who I thought was bad was the female.
aw man you cut the ponytail
Everything was good except the script and the female actor
I mean I'd understand it if that at least took place in some underground residential area that wasn't covered in vegetation.
Also, I got the weirdest uncanny valley vibe from it for the first couple minutes. It seriously felt like CGI.
They should have just left Gordon out of it IMO.
This would have been great if they got the setting right.
Oh my god, guys, I just realized something.

Gordon Freeman looks like Walter White. Both have extensive knowledge of science and chemistry, and Walter White apparently used to work at a 'lab' where his wife thinks he got the cancer, while Gordon Freeman also... works at a lab, Black Mesa.
Breaking Bad is set years after the Half Life series, after Gordon Freeman/Walter White saves the world and gets rid of the Combine, either through some crazy wormhole/time-travel shit or something, or maybe he saves the world then gets put into a stasis by the G-man until the world is back to normal again, wherein he is deposited back out as... Walter White.

iirc they did the references like this on purpose (after realising there were large similarities between the two)
but not all that "after half life shit". Gordon is a physicist not a chemist
