Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Since the late 2000s, animated features for families have begun to decrease in quality. With blatant rehashes, cookie cutter plots, horrendous animation (it's rare to see a 2D feature animation these days), crappy musical numbers and a motive centered around breaking box-office numbers without any regard for quality, I'd have to ask this. Are we reaching the end of good family cinema, and are companies this uncaring for creating quality products? Apparently so.The problems with this movie become blatant from the get-go. The title of the movie represents a short-lived trend of Romeo and Juliet carbon copies. This is made apparent through the clichéd "two lovers from separate tribes who want to be together regardless" trope. With an aesthetic so paper thin, it's not worth describing in full detail.The animation is stale, and not distinctive from its competition, and given how significant good animation is when it comes to an animated feature (one that came out at the start of this decade mind you), what's the excuse?Another big thing about this movie is that it can't tell the difference between feral models and anthropomorphic models. There're times when four-legged wild animals would stand on their hind-legs and make allusions to stuff only humans or animals close to civilization would know about.Sadly, this has attracted a fandom who has proved to be more devoted (borderline obsessive) than any other fanbase, and they'd fight to defend A&O's furry allusions. You can't defend what is hardly present.It's a little better than the horrendous sequels that followed this particular movie though, but that's a review for another time.

OK, here is my review to Alpha and Omega, one of my favorite movies. The first time I saw the trailer to this, I wanted to see this, and I;m glad I did. It was a really enjoyable movie. I liked the animation, I loved the actors, I loved the score to the movie, and even though the storyline was predictable, I like the storyline.First off, the storyline... now I'm not picky about the storyline, as long as it is good, and this had a good storyline. A bit predictable but overall a good story. The main Omega wolf, Humphrey is a great representation of a normal guy who has a crush on the pretty girl, who happens to be Kate, the main Alpha wolf in the movie. Kate and Humphrey is my favorite couple when it comes to movies. They are perfect for each other and even though this movie left a lot of plot holes, the entire movie was great. Who cares f this doesn't show what an actually pack looks like. The directors did a good job making this movie, so cut them so slack, they may not had enough money to give us a Lion King movie or even a Rio movie, but who cares... they made a good movie and I'm happy with that.Second, the actors... I loved every one of them. Justin Long, one of my favorite actors, was the perfect actor for Humphrey. He made me love him even more and Justin is the kind of actor that can make any character he does, lovable, so a round of applause for him. Hayden Panettiere, one of my favorite actresses and the perfect voice for Kate. It matches her perfectly and she brought Kate to life in more ways than ever. Kate Higgins who covers for Kate in the sequel does a good job but she is no Hayden... Hayden brought Kate to life. The same goes for Ben Diskin who covers for Humphrey in the sequel, he does a good job and sound just like Justin, but his performance was at least close to Justin. Then we have the sweet beautiful Christina Ricci as the shy beautiful Lilly. This right here is an perfect example of finding the perfect actress to provide the voice of a female character. Even though Lilly did not have as much screen time as Kate, Ricci made Lilly a very lovable character. Then we got Danny Glover as Winston and the legendary Dennis Hopper in his final movie as Tony. We also have Vicki Lewis who you may know from Finding Nemo as Deb/Flo and from the movie, Godzilla with Mathew Broderick. Lewis provides the voice of Eve who gives us a new look at the term overprotective.Thirdly, the score is amazing and from a composer I never heard of until now, Chris Bacon.The music to this movie is outstanding and really adds to the emotions in this movie. My favorite is the Love Train track, in which Humphrey howls with Kate on a train... it's a beautiful howl and makes you want to love wolves. Any lover of animals will love this feature, especially wolf lovers like myself. If you love soundtracks, then listen to this, because the soundtrack is amazing.Fourth, the animation... could be better but then again, seen a whole lot worse than this so we shouldn't complain here. Every movie will have their flaws, and to me, this is one of this movie's flaws. The animation could have been better but then again, the storyline could be better, too. The animators did a fantastic job on the main characters like Kate and Humphrey. Advice to the makers, You guys did an amazing job on this movie. You made an enjoyable movie and great choices on the cast. You also did a good job on the storyline. But the storyline needs working on, you left many questions unanswered like what happened to Humphrey's parents? Where is Garth's mother? How did Humphrey and Kate meet? Were they friends since birth or did they accidentally meet somewhere before the beginning? So, if you were to make another movie, make sure that the storyline improves a bit. But overall, great job and I really enjoyed your movie.Overall, I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars. Even though there are flaws in this movie and the storyline is a bit predictable, I really enjoyed this movie and liked the sequels. The sequels could be better but they could be so much worse. I highly suggest watching them if you enjoyed this movie. Any animated movie or animal lover should at least watch this movie. To me, it's worth it and a great movie for kids to watch but I suggest this movie to kids ages 8 or up. This movie has some themes that aren't appropriate for younger kids. If you feel your kids are comfortable for these themes, then they can watch it but I suggest only kids 8 or older to watch this.

2010 was a great year for movies.Supernatural thrillers, including more Shrek and Karate kid.Toy Story 3 was some of the animation highlights.In the mist of all this Alpha & Omega came out.Well received by the Youtube crowd, but not by critic and Box Office.Lots of Alpha & Omega AMV came out those days.Anyway, this is a movie about Humphrey and Kate two wolves that are send out to Idaho to repopulate.The two wolves must fight bears and escape from humans in Idaho before coming back to their park by train at last.This ends with a fight between two wolf Clans.The animation is detailed, but not fine to look at sometimes.It's not any How to train your dragon, but worth a rent if you and your Family is having nearly 1 hour and 15 minutes to spare.8/10

Alpha and Omega tells the tale of two different wolf packs. One Alpha(which represents the male wolves),one called Humpery(voiced by Justin Long who is also the voice of Alvin from the Alvin & The Chipmunks franchise)and the Omegas(Female wolf pack,and Kate is in this one(voiced by Hayden Panterrie from Racing Stripes). The two somehow sorta love each other(star-crossed you can say) and they end up getting lost and team up with a goose and a bird and the two try and find there way back home.Overall there's nothing really to say about this movie. The story is bland,the animation is nice,the plot not so easy to talk about as its just about wolves getting lost and finding their way home again. Overall its an OK animated movie and im a HUGE fan of animated films,always have always will. My favourite is of course Tangled and you can say I loved Frozen too and HTTYD and The Lion King basically the list goes on. 4/10
