It is just the memory of a certain captain of the many characters in a huge epic about the past, the memory of the Master Chief who once saved him.
About the whole story background can be Baidu.
Just say what the movie is saying.
At the end of Halo 3, the Master Chief and the kamikaze martyr (who can he be Baidu) successfully detonated the ring and wiped out the Zerg, but when they left on the Dawn, the Dawn was cut in half, and the kamikaze returned to Earth , and everyone thought the Master Chief was dead. And a tombstone was erected for him.
But the Master Chief did not die. In the wreck of the Dawn, he and the artificial intelligence Cortana, who had been with him, survived. The Master Chief entered the freezer, and Cortana threw out a distress signal.
So at the beginning of the movie, Lasky, who has become the captain, received this distress signal and recalled the past when the Master Chief rescued them when he was a student. The whole movie is about his memories.
So at the end of the movie, Lasky resolutely decided to lead the fleet to the universe to find the Master Chief, which is the prelude to the Halo 4 story. (So the movie is called "Halo 4: Towards the Dawn")
The whole can't be counted as a movie, it may be more appropriate to call it a micro-movie, although the length is the length of a movie. But the movie is only a small piece of a larger story. People who don't understand the whole story will find it very boring and unintelligible. It's like a 1 million word novel where you only read one 500 word paragraph.
When you understand the entire story structure, you will understand why those of us can watch a seemingly boring plot for dozens of minutes and still give high marks.
Also understand why we pissed with excitement when the Master Chief showed up at the end. (Although I have been working for many years, I am going to run three soon)
In addition: Personally, I prefer the translation of the game's Chinese voice to various translations. Covenant people and Hong Mo are translations of novels. The Chinese voice version of the game translates the Covenant and the Zerg. Personally feel more emotional.
It is said that the Halo series is a rare game with Chinese dubbing. Listening to the familiar language makes you feel more immersed in the game. Although some people in English may feel more emotional.
Cortana's artificial intelligence is also very likeable, not just a simple computer. Some people describe it as a soul mate. No matter how powerful the Master Chief is, there will be times of loneliness, especially as the only remaining Spartan warrior. Carrying the hope of countless people. I have seen countless deaths and partings.
As the generations of Halo games have developed, Cortana has also gotten prettier.
At the end of Halo 2, Cortana left in order to cover the Nurse Chief's departure and stayed among the enemy, and the Master Chief promised to come back to save her. Cortana said to the Master Chief, "Don't make a promise to a girl, especially if you're not sure." to the boys
