Alpha (II) (2018)

Good cinematography but the story lacks something

[6/10 · 17 November 2018]

I thought I would like this movie more. All the ingredients were there to make it a movie I normally go for, a prehistoric story and an animal-human connection. But the truth is that I wasn't that impressed by the story, and that even I love animals. The best thing about Alpha was the cinematography, that was a really well done job. The sceneries, the color and shadow contrasts, those things make it worth watching. But to watch a 20000 year old caveman with perfect teeth, wearing a coat with a capuchon that looked like he just bought it from a H&M, it just doesn't make much sense. As for the story of the connection between animal and human there are much better movies about that. To watch once it's okay though.
