Alfa & Omega

If you understand at the get go that this movie was not made to amaze and simply for family enjoyment then you won't be let down...

Animation has certainly diversified over the years, leading to films which are described as breathtaking (Pixar for example), appealing to a much wider audience. This movie will probably please younger kids more, but the story is cute and so are the characters.

Overall, it has a Romeo and Juliet vibe, with an Omega wolf named Humphrey falling in love with an Alpha named Kate, which is of course forbidden! They end up being relocated to "repopulate" and must find their way back to prevent a fallout between two rival packs.

One thing I don't understand is the need for two alphas from each side to marry in order to prevent conflict, as surely this could be achieved by other means? Either way, I try not to overanalyse a children's movie and enjoy it for what it is.

The animation is quite simple and sometimes clunky, but I guess you could argue that it's stylised. I like the design of the wolves, but am not a big fan of the bears and some other minor characters as I feel they don't fit in. Overall, I say if you want some family entertainment this one will certainly do no harm, although it's not on the same level as some other films released in 2010, such as "How To Train Your Dragon" or "Toy Story 3".

Cartoon about 2 wolves, an alpha (Panettiere) and an omega (Long),who get relocated to Idaho and there journey back home. Two wolves that are unable to "be" together get captured and relocated to another park halfway across the country. They set out for home with help from some very funny friends. Being a kids movie not much really to review, (except my kids really liked it). For the adults who watch this I really found it to be a metaphor for a class based system of the haves and have-nots. I may have read too much into it, but it makes a good point of love conquering all, no matter who or what you are. Deep enough? There were some really funny scenes in this but it is definitely a kids movie. Adults won't be totally bored, but don't expect "Shrek" type humor in this. I give it a B-, My kids give it an A.

This movie was great for an animated movie. The animation was great, they had a decent soundtrack, the characters were fun, and if you show this to your kids, they will like it. But, the plot was predictable at times, some of the jokes were corny. But over all this is OK since it is an animated movie that has a target audience of 8 or 9 year olds. It really just depends on if you like these kind of movies or not. Personally, this is one of my favourite animated movies of all time. Maybe that is because I am an animal lover and wolves are my favourite animal. Basically, I loved this movie and I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks!

Okay, I wasn't really wanting to see this but my friend did and since we already watched my choice-Easy A-I decided to humor him and view this one next. It's not too bad, certainly with a voice cast that includes Justin Long and Hayden Panettiere in the leads and Danny Glover and the late Dennis Hopper, of which this film is dedicated to, as support. The scenes are wonderful, there are some amusements-both visually and aurally especially when we hear what a couple of ducks traveling along are saying-so on that note, this was a pretty pleasant and occasionally exciting picture. No great shakes but if you're interested in computer animation, Alpha and Omega is worth a look.

im not going to bother going into the ins and outs of the story, there's plenty of info out there for that.

despite the negative reviews this one got, i quite enjoyed watching it, for a Sunday afternoon time passer. yeah the animation is a bit lacking, and the story is so cliché its painful, but, there were a few laugh out loud moments and in general an all round OK movie

don't watch if your into something that pushes the boundaries of animation techniques or story telling.

do watch if like me, u have a soft spot for the simple stories that help pass a relaxing afternoon.

absolutely fine for the kiddies really, some really obscure sexual references to appeal to the older kiddies but nothing to worry about. definitely a rainy day film
