Product Description
Ben Tennyson leaves a secret organization that battles alien forces to help a mysterious young woman uncover an alien threat to Earth.
Amazon.com
The live-action feature Ben 10: Alien Swarm is a solid and action-packed addition to the animated series' growing universe, and a definite improvement over the previous feature, 2007's Ben 10: Race Against Time. Ryan Kelley takes over as Ben, who here contends with both an army of living, parasitic microchips and a former crush (Alyssa Diaz) whose missing father has a connection to both the chips and Ben's grandpa/boss, Max (Barry Corbin). Alex Winter returns as director and producer, and he's clearly enjoying the increased budget (as evidenced by the improved special effects, a major stumbling block for Race Against Time) and more serious script; the result remains faithful to the Ben 10 mythology while capably holding its own as enjoyable, family-friendly tween sci-fi entertainment. The widescreen DVD includes a very lightweight behind-the-scenes featurette that clocks in at under three minutes, and a video for the single "A Little Faster" by There for Tomorrow. --Paul Gaita

 Fantastic! July 29, 2010
S. Streck (Minneapolis)
Now I have to admit I'm already sixteen and that movies like this should make me sick but in all truth, I loved this movie! It was absolutely fantastic. The cast was well thought out and played their parts almost exactly like the animated characters. There were plenty of action scenes and the occasional cheesy scenes, but all "live action" movies have those. The plot was pretty good considering it's just a spin-off of a childrens show but.... The music was great too. The only real complaint I have about this movie is the slightly cheesy effects. Some of them were actually pretty cool like Ben's transformations and stuff but some were just plain bad. It is DEFINITELY worth the price you're going to pay.

Let me begin by saying that if you are reading this review after Ben 10 Ultimate Alien comes out, there might be some mistaken info in here, as this was written a week before it's premiere.
With that out of the way, I'll say that Ben 10 Alien Swarm sounds like it could be a great movie, but it had some problems. The casting was great (though Grandpa Max was debatable), the plot was phenomenal, and the special effects were amazing. Now for the bad points. Uh, on second thought, I'll just list this as pros and cons.
Pros
Great Casting (again, give or take Max).
Great Plot.
Great Special Effects.
a VERY COOL new alien (don't worry, I won't spoil his name for those who haven't seen this)
Sorry, but that's it for pros.
Cons
VERY few fight scenes.
Gwen didn't act quite like she did in the show. (She had a lot more spunk)
The team had an UNDERGROUND BASE o_0 (seriously, who came up with that)
Gwen didn't use her force fields in the movie (make of that what you will)
There weren't many of Ben's aliens, unless you count those little holograms that appeared over the Omnitrix from time to time
and the NUMBER ONE THING THAT BOTHERED ME
the continuity issue...
...I know for a fact that the new alien and Ben's new (how shall I say) "vehicle" are NOT going to appear until Ben 10 Ultimate Alien (which looks great by the way). Okay, so maybe the movie takes place during Ultimate Alien (which might explain the UNDERGROUND BASE o_0 but I doubt it) But that still leaves out the fact that he called his watch the Omnitrix instead of the ******trix (I'm NOT going to spoil THAT for you) after the Alien Force season finale. Not to mention the fact that Ben wasn't well known as a hero like he supposedly is in Ultimate Alien.
In conclusion this is an okay film (DEFINITELY better than Race Against Time) and a nice purchase for a young Ben Tennyson fan or two, but it wouldn't be my first choice for a Ben 10 dvd, especially if you're an older fan, like I am. All in all, I would buy all the volumes of the tv series that this movie is based on before buying this movie.
