Best Television Commercial: Halo ODST's "The Life"

More action, intensity, and emotion were packed into this commercial than most 2 hour science fiction feature films. Best yet, it flips the Halo mythology on its head (much like the game itself), where you are not the all powerful hero, but a fallible and expendable piece of a larger machine. It's not very often that television commercials can produce such emotional engagement, revealing the narrative potential of the Halo universe. And it's ads like this that make me angry that a Halo film has yet to be produced.
