That was actually amazing. Less action but a lot more of art work and philosophical thoughts. I am glad that Half life is still a thing even after two decades and fans doesnt let the universe die. Fans are simply amazing. Love this game with my heart. Thank you for this piece.
Thanks so much! We are fans of Half Life saga and we made this film for all the fans. Because, after all these years, this amazing universe still here and talk with the gamers around the world, "heart to heart". So, if you want share with friends and fan of Half Life. We made this movie for you!
@@AlexVader90 “we were promised immortality among stars” very unique quote, made me goosebumps. It is clear you really know the lore of the game well. Marc Laidlaw would be proud. Keep it up. 👍👍👍
He just walk, and walk, and walk, *_a n d w a l k_*....without problems, without quest, friends, enemies, without life and adventure....be honest: It's a bad "movie", because this not interesting and not surprising. Animation sometimes really bad, feels like a old doll, logic in movie also sometimes stupid(and not canon). Good scenes very low, there are literally several of them. Oh Gosh and this "_final battle_"....Combine - its a machine of death, *Arms Race*, _panzer-mensch_(translate this literally) they cant die with a one 9mm bullet, play Half Life on hard to understand what about i saying.
@@internetultra I beat the game hundred times on hardest difficulty. I know this movie is not perfect in the pace Half-Life offers. What I did is to welcome new perspectives and different style of art about this universe. It is lore-friendly what is most important for me.
This is truly a sad story. 😭 If I were the man at the end, I would chase after the sorrowful combine, give him a hug, and treat his wounds with the medicine I had stolen.🫂 As the man said, this might not change the outcome, but it could make our last days less painful.🥺
This was really something special, a real piece of art. I loved the choice of music throughout, really set the themes of existential dread and guilt in humanity eroding in a literal and metaphorical sense. The ending honestly made me a bit misty eyed. A worthy side story in the Half-Life universe.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed our movie. Surely the idea of making a bigger and more refined project is there, always in the world of Half Life. We'll see what happens!
Not gonna lie this is one of the best Half-Life 2 fan movie i've ever seen! the imagery, sound design, voice acting, atmosphere, even the character of Unit07 itself is phenomenal. you manage to capture the weight of emotion and express the feeling of hopelessnes, guilt, and longing in such an effective way through cinematography and sound which is amazing and rare for an SFM movie to do that. Unit07 is now my favorite Combine character to ever exist in HL2 Fanon.. despite what he did atleast in the end he did the right thing and now he's up there... immortal in the stars.. Rest in peace Unit07. Fantastic work! i enjoyed it thoroughly from start to the end, this movie honestly deserves waay more recognition!
Excellent really good, barely any SFM touch on this elemet of HL, the whole scene setting feels rushed on many SFMs or simply relying on existing lore/story. Here, you have taken the lore & created a unqiue believeble story in the HL universe with relatable characters. Action only where its needed, I don't think many other SFMs in HL have made me feel this kind of connection to your story. There was also no cringe worthy additon of Gman where he isn't needed, infact he is nowhere to be seen & neither is any other characters from Half Life, lots of SFMs tring them in as their mains lack any relation to the audiance. This stands on its own twofeet. I am looking forward to any other content in the future :)
Truly thank you for your words! For me, a Half-Life fan, it was a challenge to work on this film. But the final satisfaction is immense. Surely the desire to work on other SFM projects in the future is there, and if you HL fans like my work, surely it is an extra boost. Thanks again!
despite the numberous inaccuracies (The Ordinal being the subordinate to the Wallhamer) this is really well made. The atmosphere is absolutely gripping.
This was amazing it truly shows the horror of the half life universe and it shows that the combine are still humans and have feelings. I almost cried at the ending while the half life music drops. Anyways amazing work!
I love the little details here, like using a bioluminescent light stalk on top of his helmet instead of a torch, since a torch would use power, and that's at a premium.
Jesus Christ, this made me tear up, and the descriptions of the seven hour war through the radio... just, incredible. It's really a universe with such potential and valve is just letting time take it's toll.
Da fan e video amatore, posso solo farvi i complimenti per l'incredibile risultato e la cura e il rispetto reverenziale dell'opera di riferimento. Bravissimi❤
Grazie mille! Siamo contenti che il film stia ricevendo così tanti apprezzamenti da voi fan di Half Life. Noi che abbiamo realizzato il film siamo innamorati della saga fin dal 98 e questa è una lettera d'amore verso questa saga ci ha trasportato negli anni con emozioni uniche, ad ogni run!
Poor fella even through the mask you can feel how he’s processing how the combine reduced him to a biologically engineered war criminal. Knowing his brain has been altered, emotions regulated, and he’s possibly not voluntarily doing any of this anymore is horrific
Love whoever did the voice acting pretty good animation 10/10. I hope you do more of these in the future as I would love to watch more of these animations.
one of the best movies I have watched on youtube. The way it is paced, the imagery and everything else is just too good. Hoping for another one like this
Gotta be one of the best half life sfm out there, it deserves more recognition! Italian Voice actors are top notch and fits very well! In every characters. Keep up the good work love from Rome ❤️
It's a classic tale, you could see where the plot and story is going to go. But execution is everything. And let me tell you, it was emotional, had an impact on me and I couldn't take my attention away from it. The 40 minutes were gone in a moment. Allow me to give special praise to the sound and music use. It was perfection. The Russian orthodoxy choir along with the imagery hit me like bag of bricks, I had goosebumps. And a testament to Valve's own musical genius, I loved how you used their music and the perfect moments. As an aside, although I do not speak Spanish, the voices sounded very charismatic, like honey. One point of minor criticism though, I would think the Combine voice modulation should be more like the original, where it is almost inhuman. But, again. This is minor. And my god, the potential for storytelling in the Half-Life universe is enormous. Thank you dearly for exploring it. Normally most of the Half-Life fan content is humorous, which I love, but it is refreshing to get such a serious take on the universe. The animation, and visual story telling is superb and organic, speak less, show more. I wish professionals would re-learn this rule. I don't make long reviews as I have a hard time coming up with words to say. For this video it was easy to make, because the words came by themselves, and they are truthful.
Thank you for your words! I'm glad you liked our film. We have other projects in the works and I hope to be able to return to explore the Half-Life universe soon!
Absolutely amazing use of both assets and lore from the games and S2FM something i would like to point out is that is this entire film we never see the combine ordinals face and i like that because we know that their eyes have actually been removed and replaced with wires hooked into their helmet but because we don't really know how this would look with the entire helmet off it's a great filming choice to not show the face and instead let imagination fill in the gaps Wonderful job all around!
So far, the lore accuracy is kinda low. But other than that, great animation. Edit: I'd like to point out that the Combine Ordinal is more high-ranking that the Wallhammer ( Combine Charger ) and the APF ( Combine Supressor )
Hello! Thanks in the meantime for seeing our film. As for the rank of the Combine, I took a liberty because for the villain I wanted a more imposing figure. Surely if we make other films, we will consider maybe making new characters. As for the Lore, I assure you that we are fans of the game and we have tried to remain as faithful as possible. I love Half Life and this is my love letter to the saga!
The main character reminded me of a lost harbinger for humanity’s reconciliation, the truth is: a lie never lives long because the truth will bare to witness. Thank you for keeping this community alive! Incredible writing, feeling those emotions rush through the blue glow of his eyes.
Niente male! Alcune delle visuali sono stupefacenti, con quelle musiche poi, avete anche usato un certo che di creatività che non stona, ma anzi, secondo me aggiunge bellezza a quello che è l'universo di Half-Life. Lo ho davvero apprezzato, questo progetto meriterebbe davvero molta più attenzione.
I have never seen something quite like this before. From the philosophical questions of identity to the soundtrack to the visuals, it was fucking beautiful. By far one of my favorite fan-made Half-Life projects. Thank you so much for making this.
The wallhammer riding on an antlion was a little silly, but that's just a tiny part of something much bigger. I loved everything else, the whole way through! This one's going in my 'cinematic masterpieces' playlist, for sure!
Even though the Ordinals are One of the most modified units of Overwatch soldier, they have forced Loyalty and almost no free Will, if not of limited thoughts and certain Emotions (Like Laughing) They are the commanders of squads or Platoons, And almost command every Overwatch units. (Except Elites or other Units.) All Overwatch units are collegated To the Citadel, and they can be shut down like a switch if seen like an anomaly or too wounded to complete the task or mission. For the Choice of the Main character could have been put an Overwatch soldier (Combine Grunt or Echo One), the less modified units, since they sound like a Civil protection Officer but more modified, even though they too have forced Loyalty, they seems to not have a lot of restrictions on Free Will, like the rest of the Overwatch soldiers, since they can feel Pity, dread of death, or fear for their lifes. But for the rest great film.
Forgor to Say, that Ordinals and the supressor(But more understandable) and the Wallhamer have a much heavier modification on the voice, almost impossible or really hard to understand to the human ear, since they tend to speak fast when giving orders or speaking to other units or reporting to the Overwatch. When speaking to captured rebels or Civilians they tend to slow down whit their speech and increase the tone of their voice to be more Easy to Understand.
В фильме присутствуют некоторые неточности и неканоничные детали, но смысл и посыл очень достойные. Это один из лучших S2FM фильмов, что я видел. Отсылки на "Сталкер" Тарковского меня впечатлили. Удачи в дальнейшем развитии
@@AlexVader90 1 more thing. For next animation (or maybe this one if you can) can you make better resolution? I was watching on 1080p but i felt like 480p.
@@madhunter388 I know, but unfortunately the TH-cam compression has caused it to lose quality. Surely it is something to which we will pay more attention! Thank you for your feedback!
Incredible work! Here is an honest review through numbers. Animation 9/10 Cinematography 7/10 Levelbuilding 6/10 Story 5/10 Lore accuracy 1/10 Length 10/10 All in all I'd give it a 7/10
Very good work! Though not entirely lore accurate, I would say this is one of the better S2FMs I have seen. (If you were to make more about Half Life, I would suggest something about the mother or father of a civil protection officer due to the fact that if an officer fails to perform a task, their family members are killed.)
It would be good if a guy made an SFM about a svacs guy looting for stuff and pass old battlefields , bases or any remain of human armys of the 7hw it would be good
Oh. My. Gosh. I have no words. This is goddamn incredible. I've been interested in the Combine for quite a bit; they are interesting to explore. And when they're given more complex personalities/stories, it is like my black tar heroin lol. Very interesting choice of focusing on an Ordinal (maybe my favorite Combine type), because many would see them as emotionless unfeeling robots. While I do see where this view is coming from, this ain't my cup of tea. I think all Combine units have some of the humanity left deep inside, which can be re-awakened in certain circumstances. Also, that moment when the Ordinal lowered the gun at the end gave my goosebumps. This might have inspired me to write a fanfic of my own :D
Hello! Thank you very much for the words of appreciation. I'm glad you liked the movie and that it excited you! This film for me (and the rest of the crew) is a love letter to the Half-Life saga. A film made by Fans for the Fans. On the issue of the Combine, there would be many stories to investigate. And we have only scratched the surface! Good luck with your fan fiction!
Very much impossible considering the higher you go up the ranks of the transhuman forces the more cyber augmentations you receive and you get your mind regularly wiped. Only the Civil Protection units have their minds intact and are just normal humans. TheParryGod's video "Patient Zero" has the most realistic depiction of human combine soldiers ever.
Thank you very much! I'm a huge fan of Half Life and we made this movie for all the fans out there. Glad you liked it! There are still many great stories to tell!
Its nice to see that you showed other countries or atleast other humans that speak different languages goes to show that the combine and xen showed up all around the world
Amazing work, a really well made cinematographic piece in the Half Life universe. Congratulations! But I think you've made the Combine soldiers more humanlike than they should. A combine soldier wouldn't taunt a citizen like the Wallhammer did, every rank after the Grunt are increasingly less emotional than the previous one specially those with the most augments like the Wallhammer and the Suppressor

20:04 onwards is so fascinating. The remanence of the 7 Hour War. Laying dormant in old forgotten battlefields.
It would be good if a guy made an SFM about a svacs guy looting for stuff and pass old battlefields , bases or any remain of human armys of the 7hw it would be good
The ordinal would be in charge of the team, he is the highest rank a normal combine can get to.
When that music at the end of the video or a game play's you know its right, And you know that he joined the right side.
Awesome piece of work! That horse is gonna be in my longest memory😮

Very much impossible considering the higher you go up the ranks of the transhuman forces the more cyber augmentations you receive and you get your mind regularly wiped. Only the Civil Protection units have their minds intact and are just normal humans. TheParryGod's video "Patient Zero" has the most realistic depiction of human combine soldiers ever.
almost no action scenes and i am still enthralled in this wow
Thank you and we're glad you got involved!
no idea how i never saw that movie/heard of it. It's great and brilliantly executed.
Why did I got recommended one year ago bruh😭 this is the best film I’ve ever seen beside that tf2 horror film.
I am so suprised about a kid in the Half Life Universe. Mother nature always will find a way to reproduce all the humans, animals, and insects..
I almost cried at the end.
bro this isn't a film because its long, its because it straight up ACTS like a film
I like how Beta content like the Horse of the Ordinal got put in too! It makes the lore feel way deeper and interesting. And the intro was pure gold.
finished watching and this was very good, i will rewatch this another time :)
en efecto esto es cine , sin duda el mejor fanfilm del universo de halflife mis felicitaciones a todos los que participaron en este proyecto
This was beautiful and an amazing SFM.... One thing though:
HOW TF DID THAT MF ONE TAP A FUCKING WALL HAMMER!
HOLY CRAP
AMAZING COMRADE :)
Pazzesco. Film che toglie il fiato . Complimenti sinceri 👏👏
17:31 all hail to the master of stunsticks 🎉
how does this not have a million views already?
never expected to see a good half life fan movie made by Italian people showed in my home region lol nice one guys!
That’s was awesome! The whole movie! MOVIE! We don’t get this content everyday, but this from Italian and that’s more cool!
Thank you very much for the compliments! I'm glad you liked our movie!
i like the reference on LOVE DEATH and ROBOTS he had a change in mind and both got shot
amazing long animation, im half life fans and im proud of this arts
Thank you very much! I'm a huge fan of Half Life and we made this movie for all the fans out there. Glad you liked it! There are still many great stories to tell!
Its nice to see that you showed other countries or atleast other humans that speak different languages goes to show that the combine and xen showed up all around the world
even though I got a bit confused, the ending still carried a lot of weight. Well done.
I love that the combine horses are included! Good movie overall.
Only thing wrong with it is that the ordinal would be talking to them and the wallhammer would be on the perimeter
That was a really good project/ Animation had a lot of soul put into it.
Amazing work, a really well made cinematographic piece in the Half Life universe. Congratulations!
But I think you've made the Combine soldiers more humanlike than they should. A combine soldier wouldn't taunt a citizen like the Wallhammer did, every rank after the Grunt are increasingly less emotional than the previous one specially those with the most augments like the Wallhammer and the Suppressor
Also the Ordinal should've been the one issuing orders. A good alternative to this, would've been making the Ordinal a Grunt instead.
Nonetheless this is a beautifully done homage to Half Life ❤
But... But he is Bigger 😮
