    watch the trailer carefully, there are so many elements from hl2 that i'm pretty sure either the director or the set designer was inspired by the game.

    I really like the look of this, even if it was insipred by hl2. Plus any movie with Clive Owen = the win.

    Looks cool, I can see quite a few potential HL2 inspired bits.

    Even in the look of locations.

    I didn't really see any resemblance with HL2, sorry but that plot is interesting indeed

    I dont think it is. It just that this seams to be inspired by 1985 which Hl2 also was inspired by. Interesting looking movie tho.

    I saw this a while ago, loved it back then already. Not much similarities with HL2 to me, except the train at the beginning and the look of the city. Will be pretty neat movie

    The start of the trailer was VERY Half-Life 2 - I'm amazed that anybody who has played HL2 wouldn't agree. It kinda became more distant from the game as the trailer continued though. Sounds fairly interesting, but I rarely visit the cinema these days so I'll almost certainly be waiting for the DVD.

    This doesnt look like halflife to me in any way

    just because you see a train? in a semi post apocalytpic environment?

    puhlease

    Depressed guy on a train in a near future, run down shell of a city, talking about how women can't conceive anymore, going on to police blockades and rebellious uprisings. Oh no, nothing HL2-esque whatsoever to see here, move along :roll:

    Change the plot from guy have to transport a pregnant girl to where ever and human guards and you have HL2! Guy comes by train to city meets girl who is some sort of leader for the recistence, has to get to the coast, save the humanity. Now for some HL2 inspiered enviroments.

    That building in the first shot was used in Dr Who, can't remember which power station it was (Battersea?) in London.

    I hate to break it to you, but the whole "run down, post-apocalyptic future" genre was around way before HL2.
