Alpha Movie Review

So, yesterday I went and saw the movie, Alpha, and it was an alright film, that could have been a little better.

So, Alpha, is a movie that takes place about 20,000 years ago where a boy first domesticates a wolf. That's the basis of the story.
Honestly, it's a pretty simple movie. There's nothing complex about it, and that has some benefits and some drawbacks.
The benefits in Alpha are, it's easy to follow, it's well acted, and it's short. The actors in this film do a really good job, and you should know that this entire film is in another language, so you will be reading subtitles. Chuck (look him up) was probably the best actor in the film, as he reached peak good boy status.
Some drawbacks to this film are, not to much happens after the boy gets separated from his tribe, and the CGI is very obvious in some parts. Now, when he does get separated and he meets up with the wolf, it's interesting to watch their relationship grow, however, there really isn't a villain in the story to raise tensions.
Alpha is an alright movie that you should see if you like dog films, or prehistoric films. See it once in theaters, then watch it for free on tv if you want to see it again.



final score: 3/5

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
