Where to Watch Alpha
- Coen de LoosMarch 21, 2026Decent feeling good movie, annoying CGI
- MaxRiderMarch 15, 2026Prehistoric puppy love, stunning vistas, and zero dialogue—it's like "The Revenant" if it traded revenge for cuddles. Heartwarming, gorgeous, and way too wholesome for its own good.
- Austin GoodwinMay 15, 2025This is such a beautiful story!!
- musasoftlabxMarch 10, 2025Story - 1.5/2 (No spoiling) Screenplay - 1/1 (Scenes flow progressively. Camera angles are on point) Visuals - 1/1 (4K-HDR would have really had better visuals to the sun flares and dark scenes. The mountain scenery could have been spectacular. However, the 1080p SDR still does a really good job) Sound - 0.5/1 (An atmos mix could have had a better impact such as on the wolves and snow-wind scenes) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Overall - 4/5. Really good. A must watch
