Review of Alpha (2018) by Gerald H — 10 Dec 2018
Like one of those National Geographic or Planet Earth specials that makes our planet look as uninhabited as it was 20,000 years ago, but without the talking heads telling us what insight we're supposed to be garnering from such images. This would be a fine enough concept except the images and story we are provided don't really provide much substance either. That and this still feels like a TV special on a budget.
Not actively bad and sometimes fascinatingly experimental-especially in its use of imagery-"Alpha" just kind of exists to look pretty while having nothing to say. Like, remember that "10,000 BC" movie from a decade ago? No? You'll get this confused with that one when you try to remember it in a matter of two years.
