The depth of field in these battles is awesome, as other resistance fighters and enemies fill in the landscape in a way better than the original. Using the assets from the games, we’re treated to some pretty epic battles, including one with a enemy tripod (“strider” for the HL junkies out there) that is thrilling. Speaking of action, it’s on full display here. This tandem of a Eastern European blonde and gritty resistance “bro” are a clear attempt to inject some drama into the film, but do we need lines “I haven’t been given a gift in over a decade” when viewers are turning in for kick-ass Half Life action? Original characters from part one appear later in the short, but first we’re introduced to a new duo of resistance fighters. Where the original Escape From City 17 was barely four minutes long, part two comes in a mean 14 minutes.
