'ALPHA': Three Stars (Out of Five)

A prehistoric adventure about a teenage hunter who's wounded and left for dead (during the Ice Age), that then befriends an injured wolf, and the two help each other survive together. The movie was directed by Albert Hughes (of the Hughes Brothers), and it was written by Hughes and first time screenwriter Andrew Rona. The film stars Kodi Smitt-McPhee, and it's gotten mostly positive reviews form critics. It also performed very modestly at the Box Office as well. I found it to be pretty boring mostly, but it's also well acted and beautifully shot. The wolf and boy buddy film aspect of the movie is also really charming. Kids should at least enjoy it.
