After
countless battles, surviving doomed missions, aliens, killer rogue
A.I., military projects and cover-ups gone wrong, our heroes from the
Halo universe, the Reds and the Blues have finally set aside their
differences, over come all the odds, saved the universe and are
heading home... that is until their ship crash lands on an unknown
planet. As they set up base and await rescue, other than dwindling
supplies and ammo, their only problem is surviving each other in
Season
11 of
Red
Vs. Blue.
Having
previously saved the galaxy more than once, the Reds and Blues were
looking forward to heading home for some R&R, that is until their
ship went off course and crash lands. As Agent Washington and the
Sarge lead the set up Red and Blue Bases awaiting for a rescue, the
bickering on what to do soon sets them at each other throats, and
that's not to mention Caboose starting up a killer robot as his dog.
Soon they find themselves in the middle of a planetary civil war and
they and they are called to the front lines again.
This
is a comical drama, based of the Halo games and characters, the only
way of identifying any of the characters is by the color and pattern
of their armors. Much of the entertainment however is not in the
battles but in the conversations between the troopers. The CGI looks
more like characters in a 3-D shooter game moving around than CGI
movie.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 digital High Definition image transfer on Blu-ray is
somehow a little weaker and simpler than the previous seasons, so the
anamorphically enhanced DVD is softer still and the CG animation is
just that weak. Both formats surprisingly have lossy Dolby Digital
5.1, which is on the weak side, when the Blu-ray is absolutely
screaming for a lossless mix. Extras
include behind the scenes, PSAs, deleted scenes, commentary and
outtakes.
