Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I don't know how this got better reviews than the first one, because the first one was MUCH MUCH better
Made the decision, despite not caring much at all for the first 'Alpha and Omega', to see its follow-ups (yes there is a franchise) out of curiosity and as an enormous fan of animation, would see anything regardless of critical reception.'Alpha and Omegas' first two sequels were all dreadful for all the same reasons. To me they were just of very poor quality and even worse served no point at all, the first sequel 'A Howl-iday Adventure' proved that 'Alpha and Omega' didn't need a sequel let alone a franchise which is what makes the follow-ups even more painful. 'The Legend of the Saw Toothed Cave' is sadly no improvement whatsoever, like the previous two sequels (hence the similar wording in this review for 'A Howl-iday Adventure' and 'The Great Wolf Games'), repeating all the mistakes/flaws from the original and the previous sequels, amplifying those flaws, and making more along the way.Let's start with the animation. The animation wasn't the best in the first film but it had its decent moments. It however is 'Toy Story' compared to the animation quality here, which is not quite Video Brinquedo, Spark Plug Entertainment or 'Foodfight' bad but almost and on the same level as 'The Swan Princess' CGI films. Blocky character designs, almost creepy expressions, very flat colours, a complete lack of fluidity in movement, endless goofs as long as your arm and less than meticulously detailed backgrounds are reminiscent of computer animation and video games in their infancy, something that one does not expect at all for 2014 even for low budget when technology has advanced as much as it has.Can say no better for the music either. None of it fits with what's going on, stylistically it feels out of place and out of kilter, it's obtrusive and it's not even good music on its own. The writing is even worse, summing up in one word it's abominable. half-baked ideas and any parts that strive to be funny or poignant instead come across as eye-rollingly cheesy or cloying.Worse are the "funny" jokes and dialogue, which are not funny at all, one groans at some of the wordplay/puns and older audiences who are children at heart whenever seeing animation (like me, one is never too old to appreciate animation and it is not strictly oriented towards kids only) will question the appropriateness of some of it.Story-wise, there is not much of one at all. That it's short may be a comfort for the main target audience and older viewers, but that's saying nothing. It is short but feels longer thanks to plodding pacing and thin plotting, there may be a little more story than the previous two sequels but it is less than enthralling and feels very padded out for the running time.Parts may (emphasis on that because how younger audiences deal with darker elements in films is often under-estimated) be too frightening for younger audiences, despite the threat just being there but not doing much. For older audiences it will be just too juvenile and dull.The characters are never engaging, they are either bland or irritating and some of them are completely pointless. The climax has no fun, thrills or suspense at all. Voice acting is weak all round, the first 'Alpha and Omega' at least had Hayden Panettiere giving a pretty good account of herself and Dennis Hopper. There is nobody of that calibre here, some overdo it and some act as if they weren't even trying.Overall, the very poor quality of the franchise continues. We're four films in and the franchise already feels over-milked and in danger of becoming one of the most over-milked there is. 1/10 Bethany Cox
Another sequel? I don't get it!1. The pups that the Alpha and Omega have are spoiled little brats that never respect their parents as authority figures. They told their parents that 'Didn't you two used to get into a lot of trouble?' Yes they did but that situation was out of their control and every other time it's the kids that keep causing the issues. 2. This movie fails at following the ark of the story with the Alpha and Omegas. Some of the other characters aren't even there. Where did they go? Why weren't they even mentioned? They call a place mountain pooh mountain in the first movie but that was a joke by Lily. In this movie though mountain pooh mountain is an actual title. How is it that these film makers couldn't tell that it was a joke and not a real place?3. The animation is just as bad as the other sequels. It looks like an unfinished game-cube project.4. This movie doesn't even work as trying to be scary since that is what it's supposed to be. The ghost isn't scary and hardly does anything but blow a bunch of leaves around and stare intensely. Sorry movie but that doesn't work.5. The other animals are dull-witted, irritating and just serve no purpose to the story. The blind wolf should have been an Omega. Make her one and she can use her blindness for comedy. However the filmmakers seem to have forgotten the word 'Omega' in the title.I have no idea how this has such a high rating when it's painfully obvious how much this movie isn't good. I give this a 1/10 because this movie fell flat on its face. Sorry Alpha and Omega fans but it's not very good.
i'm a huge Alpha and Omega fan. i love the movies, i have all 3 of them on DVD and Blu-Ray. i think this is a fantastic franchise that just keeps getting better and better. now okay, i'll admit Alpha and Omega 3 went a little downhill (a little, not by much). that movie - although good - wasn't the sequel we wanted, it had flaws and it didn't really live up to the hype of the first two. now, Alpha and Omega 4 was the movie i was really excited about, cause the trailer was awesome. but i was also a little skeptical and worried if the movie was either gonna be great or a complete let down. cause ya know, usually after the third movie, a franchise starts to go downhill with the fourth movie. i'm really glad to say: Alpha and Omega 4 helped the franchise get back on track. you can already tell i loved this movie. sure, it's still 47 minutes long but whoa! i was so surprised at much i adored this sequel! it does everything right! the characters are back and they're better, the script's solid, it introduced two incredible new characters that i can't wait to see them again in the next one, it didn't shy away from being darker and more mature, it was funny, it was emotional, it was intriguing and intense... it's - like i said - everything a sequel should be. and yeah, the movie wouldn't be complete if it didn't have that awesome show down at the end. i'm telling ya, the climax of this movie is just all sorts of kick ass and awesome. by the time the end credits started rolling, i was sitting there all like "this movie's awesome!" and honestly, for any age group, this movie's gonna appeal to everybody. Hollywood, take note of this and give us more great sequels like Alpha and Omega 4. i loved this movie, it was my favorite movie of 2014, it deserves all the praise it's gotten so far. seriously, if you're a Alpha and Omega fan or a fan of movies in general, go and watch Alpha and Omega 4
