HALO Season ONE is coming to 4K Ultra HD from CBS Home Entertainment. The Showtime-Produced Epic Series Arrives on DVD, Blu-ray™, 4K UHD and Limited-Edition 4K UHD Steelbook on November 15, but is now on Digital on November 7.
SYNOPSIS: HALO: SEASON ONE takes place in the universe that first came to be in 2001 through the launch of Xbox’s first “Halo” videogame. After years of human civil war and growing political unrest, mankind’s very future is threatened when our outermost colonies intrude upon the sacred worlds of an alien threat known as the Covenant. As this fanatical powerful alliance destroys world after human world, only one soldier slows their advance – a cybernetically enhanced “Spartan” supersoldier, the Master Chief (Pablo Schreiber, “American Gods” and “Orange is the New Black”). As the mystery of the Covenant’s true ambitions are revealed, the Master Chief must find a way to save humanity from the alien threat while also coming to terms with the secrets of his own enigmatic past.
I have been waiting to watch this until I could sit and binge it over a few days. That is the great thing about digital and even more so the box sets. Halo is the OG of all first-person shooter games. I appreciate that they decided to do it as a live action series. It would probably have been easier to do it as an animated series, but I for one am so glad they didn’t.
Season one is a 5-disc set containing every episode and over 5 hours of special features. Do you need to have played the game to enjoy the story? Not at all. Like any new series you need to pay attention the first few episodes to get your footing, but after that you are golden.
