Review of Alpha and Omega (2010) by Michael H — 04 Sep 2011
When Im not hailing this film as a god for the inspiration that made me want to write screenplays. Alpha and Omega is Not Bad. We got mediocre animation, some dumb WTF moments, likeable characters and some nice 3D effects. The huge problem is the full moon howling sequences which are so unnessecary. They dont howl, the SING. OH WHATS NEXT? QUINCY JONES GIVING THEM A RECORD DEAL!? I had to use a chalkboard to find out what the hell this scene was about. And I deffinitly found out what it was about. It is supposed to be about getting together and sticking with the one you love. Hmm... I thought it was giving a message to god about something. We do have some original concepts like log toboginning. Which has wolves (EH EM) going to a hill, carrying the log, sitting on it and then letting it do the work. HOW CAN WOLVES CARRY STUFF!? Well they stand. There is something wrong here.
ONE: The Wolves know how to stand.
TWO: A Dog Like animal Can Stand on its Feet for at least 5 seconds. Waving its front feet in the air then coming back to its normal position.
THREE: I GUESS THIS IS A NEW OLYMPIC SPORT!
The Story is about two wolves in love. Balto Perhaps? NO Balto Was a Half Wolf Breed in love with a DOG.
They cant be in love (they cant howl which means they would be a couple.) Humphery (Justin Long) is a omega and Kate (Hayden Panettiere) is a Alpha. (SOUNDS THE CLASS DIVIDE IN TITANIC!) She has to marry Garth (Chris Carmack) Who is the Lead Alpha From the East side So that the West and East side can be one. Its because of the lack of food on that side. But between the Midnight Howl. Humphrey+Kate are captured and are sent into the wild.
Oh! I forgot to tell you This movie has Things For Sexual Humor and Innuendo.
For one thing, There is a Sex Joke. They meet this Candian Duck and French Canadian Duck. As they, they talk about how to get back to Jasper Park The canadian duck wants them to stay. WHY? TO REPOPULATE THE AREA (or sex) Humphrey stupidly likes the idea and kate shuts his trap. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING MOVIE!? THERE ARE KIDS 3-12 IN THIS THEATER! Also at the end of the film, Kates Sister who is in love with Garth slams him to the ground and nose kisses him. Also when they get back to Jasper Park Kates Mom (Voiced By Kathy Bates???) gets told what happened to them. Kate explains about the repopulating thing. SHE NEARLY KILLS HUMPHREY. She has this thing about throat biting. I guess her parents got killed by getting bitten in the throat.
But I should talk to you about the ending. The Ending consists of Getting back To J Park and Humphrey finding out that Kates getting married. Later, he decides to go away and travel or run away. I nearly broke down and exited the theater when I heard this. But thankfully Kate tells everyone shes in love with Humphrey and Kates sister Lily tells Everyone shes in love with Garth. So... what happens next?
IMMORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see, Kate has this dream where the clans have a war. But The problem is THEY REPEAT THE SHOTS FROM THE DREAM IN THE BATTLE!!!
Meanwhile, A hoard of Caribou are stampeding the area going to trample the wolves to death. Humphrey comes back and tries to save the clan leaders from getting killed. They save them but it seems Kate gets tramlped. So your probely thinking THE MOVIE IS OVER!? Nope, THE KIDS WILL CRY IF THEY THINK SHE IS DEAD! Thankfully, she survives. Everyone is happy. We get to see another shit howling song. Then The Movie gets dedicated to Dennis Hopper. THE END!
Thats it for the review? No. I, must talk about the 3D.
The 3D Again is Pointless which means you get 13.50 wasted again.
The only good 3D parts I found in the film was this.
There is a Scene where Humphrey encounters a Baby bear. He plays with him. The bear throws a snowball at him and Humphrey throws one back. The bear starts to cry. THEN MAMA BEAR IS MAD. BLARGH CHASE SCENE! AND MORE SUDDEN INNUENDO!!!! Kate faces of the bears and uses her moves from training to become the lead alpha of the west clan. SHE FRIKKIN FLIPS AND STARTS FIGHTING THEM! Also, The logtobbogon scenes. They pretty much are some of the best 3D moments. They arent perfect but it will have to do.
Alpha And Omega Is a Cliche Unoriginal Road Trip, But does manage to stay in tact and not crumble to pieces. Rent this film on blu ray and show it to your kids.
Its not bad!
B- 70/100.
