The Freeman Chronicles (2012– ) User Reviews

Very well made

[massacher2004 · 9/10 · 16 October 2021]

I just finished watching this. I don't think we'll ever get a HL3 or HL2 episode 3 but this is just amazing. Not as amazing as the conclusion to the HL2 series would be but it is what I imagine a Half-Life movie could be like.

I want more. I wonder if this team will make a third episode? Because we can't count on Valve as they seem to have trouble counting to three.

Good Series but too short

Half Life 1 had 18 chapters but this features only 3 episode, also the episode 1 have only 1 scene, series should be extended.

A disappointing adaptation of one of the best video game franchises of all time.

Despite the infrequent moments of mild entertainment, The Freeman Chronicles is a disappointing adaptation of a fantastic video game series. The visual effects are lousy, the prologue does not hook the audience in any way, the acting is incredibly unconvincing, and the dialogue lacks meaning and subtext. The G-Man's dialogue is particularly unsatisfactory, and his appearances were not adequate for the audience to have any sort of desire to see his character in more depth at the end.

I appreciate that some effort has gone into the creation of The Freeman Chronicles, but overall, it could have been improved if the cast and crew had put more time and effort into making it, and if they had actually studied the art of filmmaking in more depth to make the series more engaging for the audience.
