Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Real acting talent isn't depend upon language. The skillful utilization of space and time, combined with agile adaptation of voice, eyes, body language and other nuances, to character, conflict, imagination and verisimilitude (convincing me wholly that what is fantasy, is truly happening before my eyes). "Alphas" evinces every one of these essential ingredients; I quickly forget that they are merely acting; the story and the performers come alive within their personae like a glove indistinguishable from skin. I suppose that when an intriguing series is cut short after only two seasons, that truncation leaves aficionados of the performers with keenly whetted curiosities, eager for more, somehow, some way, some day.

I've read all the reviews and posts on IMDb and it's quite an interesting mix of opinions.To me, Alphas is a cool, attractive, engaging and entertaining show. I've never seen any single episode of the others TV-series mentioned here, as "Heroes, Warehouse, 4400" or the X-Men movies. But I've related Alphas to an other (older) TV-series : Painkiller Jane (Sci-Fi/2007 - starring Kristanna Loken, Rob Stewart, Noah Danby,...). In this one, 'Alphas' are 'Neuros', 'Binghamton' is the 'Nico' and both team (of 5 recurrent people - 2 are "Neuros" too -a 'musclor'-guy and a super- computer freak !) work as undercover agents for the US Government/Department of Defense. Jane's abilities are just a little "too much" (she can't die and regenerate herself after being shot... yeah, okay...!). Even if Alphas is much more believable and realistic, it's kind of a "copié/collé" of Painkiller Jane, without any doubt. (even some of the intrigues are very close). Anyway, I think the writing's just fine (even if some dialogs are a little bit dumb in the second season) and for sure, all the actors really CAN act (my favorites are Ryan Cartwright, Laura Mennell, John Pyper-Ferguson and Warren "the Hunk" Christie !). I find in this show what I search on TV - for that kind of stuff, so I've liked what I've seen on the 24 episodes of this series. Soooo bad it doesn't have an ending ! (The Producers & Creators could have given us a clue on the bonus materials of the Second Season DVD of what could -or might- have happened on the following of "God's Eyes"...). But not a single word ! So 'Alphas' is over now, but at least there are still the DVDs to continue to live on my screen...

I just got through seeing "Alphas" on Amazon Instant Video for free. I saw every episode, all 24. It's too bad Syfy cancelled "Alphas". It was entertaining, interesting, not boring. Why they cancelled it I don't know. The action was good and the special effects were credible.Usually Syfy TV series are awful. Usually the special effects in Syfy TV series are terrible. However, in "Alphas" they were pretty good. The characters were also credible and developed. I think Syfy should have had at least 1 more season. I think there was enough potential content to fill another season. Syfy also should have allowed "Alphas" to have an ending with finality, something where viewers would be satisfied. It appears to me the writers for "Alphas" wanted to continue with another season but Syfy just cancelled them.In a situation such as this, where the Network wants to cancel, I think Syfy should have at least allowed 1 more episode to allow for a definitive ending for the series.Good series, 8 out of 10.

My husband and I fell in love with the characters within the first two episodes. We loved how it took, presumed, problems (disabilities) and turned them into special abilities. It was realistic enough in the beginning that we could grasp the ideas they were trying to create. However, the second season and maybe even the end of the first season, went downhill quickly. The show became so unrealistic that it was a pain to watch. The only reason that we watched it to the last episode was because a friend had told us it was fantastic. We got to the last episode and were throughly unimpressed. Kat was the best part of the second season. After the show finished, we felt like we just wasted hours of our time.
