Alpha and Omega 4: The Legend of the Saw Toothed Cave (2014) Reviews

• I Hate This Sequel

  madamemoviemonsterheart2015-03-18

  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.

• A Fourth Movie That's Not Very Good

  I really didn't like the sequels (even though the first is a guilty pleasure) but this one didn't even try. The characters are all bad. I don't get why the pups keep being so mean to there parents. Those aren't nice characters I want to follow. Everyone else is just dumb and poorly written. The humor is bad. I didn't crack a smile once in this movie. I laughed at least twice in the sequel to Planes. That's how bad the humor is. The animation isn't as bad but it's still not good. The story has a lot of questions and plot holes that make it feel long and dragged out. Why don't we here from Claudette's love interest Fleet again? Why didn't we see Lily go into Shadow Forest? What's the origin for the ghost? Since it's a scary movie apparently it isn't very scary. The ghost wolf which is supposed to scare us doesn't do anything. He doesn't even chase the characters he just stares at them. Please stop making sequels. I liked the first movie but seeing more sequels just keeps making me disappointed.

• Worst One Yet And Stop Making Sequels

  Oh goodness not another awful Alpha and Omega sequel...stop making these please.... This one is easily the worst one. The third one had more irritating animation but aside from that this one is much worse. ~ It's not scary at all which is what it's supposed to be. How are we supposed to be scared by a ghost wolf that is never explained and hardly does anything other than glare at everything? ~ All of these first movie characters are practically poked fun at harshly. Kate is no longer the strong Alpha female like she was earlier, Humphrey isn't getting any more likable and Lily is supposed to be cute and funny which was never present through out this movie. The others are pointless. ~ It shows no interest in continuing the story ark. Where are those little animal creatures from the third movie? ~The writing is garbage and full of plot holes that makes this movie a huge mess. ~ The pups in this movie never listen to their parents and show n signs of respect for them at all. Those little things are the most aggravating characters in this movie. These people have no idea what has happened in the first movie and yet they somehow do. Saw Tooth was the national park in the first movie where Kate and Humphrey were sent to. Why didn't they name this movie The Legend of Shadow Forest? That's where it takes place! Please just stop making more sequels. No one asks for sequels and no one wants to see another horrendous Alpha And Omega movie. Just let these series of movies stop. Better late than never.

• Thought that this franchise couldn't get any worse

  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
