Avis Metacritic

Not without charm and bearing easy appeal to very young viewers.

Abounding in dumb jokes that kids are bound to like but sometimes too scary for very young viewers, the movie -- also going out in 2D -- takes too long to find its footing and at best is proficient, not exhilarating.

Underwhelming in the style of most off-brand CG, Alpha and Omega is livened by pretty Rocky Mountain backdrops and leadened by stock characters and the wolves' weirdly prissy behavior.

Parents with restless, animal-loving children may as well throw it a bone.

A dog in wolf's clothing, Lionsgate's drab, anthropomorphic animal saga does little more than reconfirm the preeminence of Pixar.

Occasionally cute but not much else, Alpha and Omega is an animated flick that doesn't leave much of an impression.

As with any movie, this kids' film is only as good as its writing - the jokes, the cute bits, the heart. And that's where Alpha and Omega comes up short.

Alpha and Omega is sweet, if not fresh.

Alpha and Omega is one of those rarities in the modern era of Hollywood animation: bad.

This is a shameless mélange of plot elements from already generic Disney knockoffs.
