CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This 2012 film runs for only roughly 19 minutes without credits and that's possibly the best thing about it as I saw nothing new or refreshing here. Maybe I am a bit biased as action is far from my favorite genre, but I thought they may come up with at least some creative impact. This hope was also based on the fact that the makers behind this were responsible for the Academy Award winning short film "Logorama". Quite a career transformation actually in terms of genre. Then again, Logorama also had its fair share of action sequences with Ronald McDonald playing the Joker. In any case, I am a bit disappointed with "Ghost Recon: Alpha". I saw that this was partially based on the Tom Clancy video games. I have never played them, but I heard of them. Maybe it#s necessary to know and appreciate them in order to appreciate this short movie. But this should not be a necessity for any movie, because it would mean that people with little to no interest in video games get punished for no reason. Anyway, looking at the cast, I am slightly familiar with Mark Ivanir and I have seen Charlotte Rampling films as well. Obviously, in this one here, there is no character depth on who they play or on anybody else as this is flat-out action. What a shame. Not recommended.

Theo Robertson Okay lets cut to the chase GHOST RECON ALPHA is a not so much a short film but a 20 minute advert for a video game of the same name . That said if you want 20 minutes of shoot 'em up carnage in a Boys Own adventure then this is the short film for you and is much better than some of Tom Clancy's written prose . Anyone remember the novel PATRIOT GAMES ? I rest my case What the makers have done is take a leaf out of Paul Verhoeven's book and set it in a very recognisable setting of an urban former communist country . You might have to suspend some disbelief that former Soviet technology invested a lot of time and effort in to creating cybernetics but no one claims this type of action adventure shoot them up has to be one hundred per cent realistic I'm not a massive fan of either James Bond or CALL OF DUTY type shooting games but this is a very impressive short action film to tie in with a release of a video game and if you're addicted to video games then this is a short film you'll certainly enjoy

aka_sabretooth This was a blast and incredibly fun to watch -BIG THANKS TO THE BOYS IN CAMERA AND BEHIND! It felt like watching some classic and tense action I had not seen in decades, reminded me of the SWAT series when I was a kid, but totally revamped and mixed with ROBOTECH...People producing big budget action movies should take a few lessons from this. Forgert Rambo, never mind the Expendables -they ARE expendable indeed! Movies like this, short or long, have been missing from the movie market for a long time. Even if you do a generic action movie, you have to nail the action and the suspense in the right blend so that even if you don't care about whats going on (a stolen nuke... again) at least you care about what happens to the characters -of whom, really, you just know they are some kind of special soldiers. These people could do a modern remake of The Guns of Navarone and totally hit the mark -fast paced action and suspense, in a hight tech setting with an infiltration and assassination plot.And I never liked the Ghost Recon games!

Reza Mohammady I got my hopes up (as a crazy Tom Clancy fan) but you don't make the same mistake. Look at it as a very well made Video Game cut-scene or intro video, I promise you won't go home empty handed.The production design, weapons, guns, uniforms and gear were very accurate and convincing. The automated killing machine is truly scary and whoever designed the image processing interface on the devices knew what he was doing.Did I also mention the most awesome invisibility cloak ever!? Story? Let's not ruin the fun... The same super worn-out Russia vs. US tale with some bad guys trying to get their hands on Russian nukes. If you read Tom Clancy books, he can tell an amazing story from the same genre over and over. But "Ghost Recon" is only 'designed' by Clancy, not actually written by him.I really hope with this crew, comes a better sequel: FUTURE SOLDIERSemper Fi!
