Some of the concepts and story ideas present in Nightfall are interesting, such as the Alpha Shard and Aiken's backstory, but the execution left a LOT to be desired. The script was pretty clunky, the effects were not very good, and the plot was really predictable. It felt very much like a video game movie.
The thing that bothered me the most was that there was a couple of threads that just went nowhere. What was the "element", and how come it could target specific species? Was it a Forerunner-engineered bio-weapon used to kill in their war with humans? What was up with that Yonhet dude? What's up with the Lekgolo worms? Were they there with the Fleet of Particular Justice? There were interesting things going on, but the story seemed to favor a boring survival story.
I think it's fair to compare Nightfall with its predecessor, Forward Unto Dawn, since both mini-series served to introduce important Halo characters. Lasky's story in FuD was pretty simple, but he did have some growth, and I was left wanting to know what happens next with him. I was not left with that feeling about Locke- I'm just not sold on his character. The only character trait I really picked up was that he's not a dick.
