Overall I consider Alpha as a good movie with an interesting concept, for the directing is well-done and it has a nice message, trying to pass some values of friendship, fall-rise, bravery, survival...Moreover, the visuals where good, although in some points I could undertsand that the budget wasn't very high. Also, it is an unigue movie, because there are not a lot of pre-historic movies out there (except 5 Ice Ages). However, it kinda lost me in the second part of the movie (First Part: Tribe Hunting, Second Part: Kenda and Alpha). The first part was very good, but the second one was too long (sleeping, walking...) without enough action. For good or bad the second part was the heart of the film, being however the one that had the main advantages that I mentioned before. Furthermore, I would like to watch more survival (hunting, eating, fishing...) and brutal scenes for it took place in pre-history, in a time that was just the beginning of civilisation. I am not saying that I would want it to be a R-rated movie, for it is a family film, but I am asking for a better balance. All in all it is a nice film for all of the family to watch from ages 9+. But do not expect an adventure film but more of a drama (with the modern term) movie. In the end, it has breathtaking view of nice landscapes and creates a unique atmosphere.
