IMO it would be Gears, but I'm a fanboy- I think Gears 2 will greatly increase the storyline

While I don't think either would make a "great movie" I'd have to say Halo, there's a bit more story to go on and it just seems like a gears movie would just end up being another starship troopers.

i think gears bc there is a lot more action and you would get that home feel when u c it bc the battle is on earth. as to halo the story was lame and its just a lot of talking and half the time i dident even no what was happening. so gears would make a better movie

I'm a HUGE Halo fan, not just of the 3rd game, but as in the books, and all the games, and everything. So i think Halo would make a better movie, if it went by the story line in the books where it shows John as a kid and stuff.

Well conscidering that movies are first and foremost about characters, Gears would trump the ever living hell out of Halo as there was some character development in Gears and none in Halo. Master Chief has no character at all. The other characters in Halo are also seriously .5 dimensional. Don't get me wrong Halo is a great game but it intentionally removed any and all character traits from it's main character to aid in immersion. It works "OK" in a game but it would be disasterous for a movie or a novel.

As for which had more straight up plot. Sure Halo has more plot than Gears, but if it's going to be an interesting movie I'd hope the plot would be *new and not a rehash of the game plots.

thats why halo would only be a good film if they followed the books aswell as the games, there is alot of character development in the books.

but i think that it would be harder to make a gears film because of the plot, its basically man fight monster, i reckon gears 2 will have a deeper plot better suited for the big screen.

either way, i'd love to see these two epic worlds brought to life through cinema, especially gears' battle scenes.

I definitely think Halo would make a better movie. the story seems to be better and i think with todays technology, the aliens and fighting would just blow everyone away.
