Halo: Landfall
Directed by Neill Blomkamp
Produced by Bungie Studios, Origami Digital
A gritty, high-octane military sci-fi short that grounds the Halo universe in visceral combat and existential stakes, prioritizing spectacle and tension over character intimacy.
Director Neill Blomkamp explores the lives of Marines and ODSTs on a last, desperate mission in a post-invasion Earth – a mission that may secure the salvation, or usher the destruction of the entire galaxy. Edited together as a standalone piece for the first time, these three shorts are the first glimpse at what a live-action Halo could and should look like and a must-see for Halo fans of every stripe.
