Alpha [DVD]

Great movie, I had seen the last half on TV and wanted to see it all!

Such a great movie! I saw it on tv and I enjoyed it so much that I immediately came here and ordered it as the credits were rolling. I recently showed my mom and her friend and they both were surprised how much they loved it. Such a twist ending and I had to tell them that the movie wasn't over till you see the credits because at the end the screen blacks out, but just as you think it's over, there's a little bit more!Warning: there is subtitles because they speak in a tribal language, BUT they are short sentences and easy to read. I'm not one for subtitles because I'm a slow reader, but this movie was no problem for me and after the beginning, there's few words here and there between the boy and wolf. Really, it's a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it!!

Great movie for everyone

This is a great movie and I would have gave it 5 stars in this review. But I bought it because it was advertised as having Blu-ray and digital dvd download. And it did have a digital download that was out of date by 17 months, very disappointing!

Happy with product

It’s nice to watch a movie that has no swearing or bombs going off or mass casualties, it tells a nice story

Damn good movie but you have to read subtitles. I still recommend it to anyone

“Alpha” seems like a documentary though it is a plausible imaginative narrative of events 20,000 years ago. The film creates a haunting authenticity that makes the viewer a witness to the unfolding story. In a landscape beautiful but dangerous for humans, and with bravery, physical prowess and tribal cooperation the only assets for brutish survival, the young man, Keda, seems ill-equipped. Yet circumstances force him to discover unrecognized talents that not only keep him alive but also write a new chapter in the human existential struggle. He becomes extremely adept at problem-solving, with his evolving proto-technology compensating for his lack of physical strength. And with an unlikely alliance with a wolf, he forms a partnership that provides them both emotional dividends and a practical cooperative partnership. This film is carefully crafted, allowing cold scenic panoramas to paint the vulnerable fragility of the humans trying to live there. Musical understatement conjures mood without overstepping the story. The use of a created synthetic imaginary language with subtitles completes the illusion that we are voyeurs with a privileged seat, sharing the heartache but barred from intervention. Young actor Kodi Smit-McPhee as Keda gives an outstanding nuanced performance as does his wolf-dog co-actor. This cinematic journey is a visual feast and a satisfying emotional engagement in events that could have happened just as the film shows us.

The seller sent the item fast so we can enjoy this great movie thanks

História emocionante numa época em que o homem é dominado pela natureza e consegue servir se dela aliando se ao animal com o dom do coração

Nicht guter Film

"Alpha" is a terrific movies - the original "boy and his dog' story. Literally the original. Albert Hughes (known for various sophmoric films) has directed a visually stunning, emotional and evocative movie. (Note: filmed in Northern Alberta).For whatever reason, the studio released this in mid-summer to a few screens and did not promote it. One of the best movies of the year - and no one ever saw it. Looks spectacular on The Big Screen.

I like animal shows. This one was good. I will watch it many time.
