Critic Reviews

  • Randy Cordova, Arizona Republic

    An animated flick that doesn't leave much of an impression. It's even difficult to recall what happened once it's over because it's so slight and sluggish.

  • Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

    Alpha and Omega, an unambitious 3-D animation about a couple of young wolves in love, isn't so much howlingly bad as it is howlingly boring.

  • Kyle Smith, New York Post

    It's an ugly, laughless 3-D cartoon about wolves that is so wussified and stupidified that it'll bore kids and make their adult minders wish they'd done something comparatively interesting, like cleaning the gutters in the rain.

  • Glenn Whipp, Los Angeles Times

    The story comes off as patchwork, with a climax cribbed from The Lion King and odd musical sequences that seem inspired by …ahem, classic Mariah Carey. It's not quite the vision of love intended.

  • Mike Hale, New York Times

    Has old-fashioned backgrounds that occasionally achieve a touch of grandeur, but that's about the best that can be said for it.

    I could see this having a bad rating, animated film seem to go down the pan, well this one did.

    Justin Long is an ok voice actor, he did better in this then he did in Planet 51, which I personally disliked. The reason i'm giving Alpha and Omega an extremely positive review is quite simply because of the film's humour, it's un-boring interpretation on animated… More

    Jesus Christ. There's shit, there's even more shit, and then there's Alpha and Omega. I'm fairly certain this entire movie (with the exception of the intensely mediocre voice casting/acting) was made through a computer program from the paint by numbers story (even… More

    Alpha and Omega was just bad. It starts off by throwing everything at you, in an attempt to remind you that this is 3D. In 2D it's just confusing as to why wolves are engaging in such action filled frivolities. The animation isn't terrible, but still doesn't leap to… More

    I mean its no "Cars" or "Antz" or "Toy Story" or even a "Hoodwinked" But it didnt need too, it had some jokes i laughed, though the plot is the usual trying to get home plot, and has been used plenty of times but this is one of the times I… More
