this has nothing to do with HL..
of course it's obvious that charlie sheen's character looks AWFULLY like gordon freeman...but, if you played HL..you know it has nothing to do with it

Baring in mind some of the previous comments, it may be that some elements of 'Half Life' were indeed inspired by this film. I've just been watching and by the time Zaminski was halfway through his journer in the great metal elevator, 'Half Life' was firmly in my own mind.
Well spotted, Goldie, even if you did put the cart before the horse :).

it's a thread about the ultimate half-life movie (that should never be made). check it out if you're interested.
i wouldn't say that The Arrival and Half-Life are too similar, besides the uncanny resemblance between the 2 protaganists and the fact that they're scientists.

For a first-person shooter that practically plagerism!
shareAgree. If there is a movie that must be compared with HL, this is the one.
Charlie would be my choice for a cinematic Gordon Freeman, no kidding here!

Whatever. It is highly amusing that Sheen looks like Gordon Freeman, and it would be cool to say that it ties into Half-Life, but, alas, it doesn't. But the similarities are hillarious, no?

Half-Life incorporated a lot of famous sci-fi into its story and characters. The striders and crab-synth things are directly taken from War of the Worlds (the Martian fighting machines are tripods that make simliar terrifying noises, and the crabs are the Martian construction machines that processed human bodies in the pit)
shareNot to mention that the van that Sheen's character drives in when he installs the satellite dish has the word "Sierra" on the side.

He talks too much to be gordon freeman.
Well really there are quite a few similarities.

Half Life also took inspiration from Stephen King's The Mist

"He talks too much to be gordon freeman."
That was a good one.
Yeah, this thread is ancient, but who cares, I'm responding anyway to say that I agree with the OP. It's essentially the same alien invasion plot as Half-Life, and Charlie Sheen looks so much like Gordon Freeman that it's uncanny. This will always be Half-Life: The Movie to me because I have a feeling that the official Half-Life movie, whenever it's made, will inevitably suck.
