Alfa & Omega

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

Saw this lovely animation movie with family during my vacations. Had not heard much about it as there was not much TV promotions and publicity before the release, but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of animation, character building, the story and many other aspects. For my family it turned out to be a perfect vacation movie. The soundtrack of the movie is also worth mentioning here. Referring to another review here criticizing the movie for beyond understandable reasons, I believe movies are made for having fun, and criticizing them for stupid reasons like this movie was inspired by whatever is nonsense, because at the end of the day most of the animation movies including by all top studios follow the fun, family, adventure, thrills, some moral/ethics at the end of the story themes and this one's no exception. We enjoyed it throughly until it lasted plan to buy the Blu Ray disc for the kids as they loved it as much.

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.

I have always loved movies with animals in them like lion king, lady and the tramp and so on when i saw alpha and omega i loved it and there are a few reasons why i think this movie didn't get enough credit 1. it was a very original story i have never seen anything like it. 2 the animation is different witch i like 3. the acting was very good. and so this movie that got 4.8 should of had a 6.1 so anyway even if someone tells you this movie suck's just see it for yourself and give it a chance you might be surprised and i also highly recommend it for any wolf lover's but i don't recommend this movie for kid's the age of 1 to 5 due to some of the sexual actions.

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".
