Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The live-action is fun filled to follow although there are many errors in the scenes, it still proves to be effective. One thing I also liked is the aliens' animation into real 4D creatures. However I was disappointed by the fact that he only went hero few times with less aliens.It is better than the original tho .

Let me start by saying 1st off that the actors in this movie are way too old for their roles. They're supposed to be between the ages of 15 and 17 when they look like they're in their early to mid 20's. The acting isn't too bad. It's not great or even good, but it's okay.When it comes to it being related to the show, it's too different. It's not Dragon Ball Evolution bad, but it's pretty bad. A character is introduced in this movie that was never in the show at all that's supposed to be Ben's "long-lost girlfriend" or something. The way the villain is defeated is...disturbing. It would've been much better if the villain was defeated almost..any other way. Okay, it's not that bad, but it's still pretty disturbing.The movie's 2 main characters give you that vibe that Dragon Ball Evolution gave you with Goku or should I say "Goku" and his girlfriend, which will have you thinking "Just make out already!"It introduces a new alien solely for ratings, which is unnecessary, though not completely bad. The CGI is sub-par even for the time, though it's actually really good for a TV movie on a kids' network.

I didn't think a live action feature length adaptation of an animated show could get any worse than M. Night Shymalan's dismal 2010 "Last Airbender". That is until I saw the first twenty minutes of "Ben-10: Race against Time." I couldn't make myself watch the rest. So I didn't really have high hopes for "Alien Swarm" the first time I took a look at it; (which was only a few weeks ago). After the same twenty minutes had passed, I was hooked. Unlike "Race against Time," or "The Last Airbender", This movie is well written, well directed,and wonder of wonders, actually stars good actors. (O.K. Lee Majors was good as Grandpa Max in the first film, but he was the only one.)

A very effective "B" movie, way better in every possible way than the previous live action "Ben 10." The directing, acting, production design and visual effects are considerably improved this time around, very nice indeed for a low-budget cable film. Clearly, the filmmakers actually tried to make a decent film (take note, Sy-Fy). Sure, the script is pretty much by-the-numbers and contains no surprises, but you can't really expect top-notch screen writing in a picture like this.If this turns out to be a ratings success, I wouldn't mind seeing live action versions of some of Cartoon Networks other series, such as "The Secret Saturdays."
