My one gripe here is the last ten minutes get just a bit too Hollywood for me and although there's a twist to the entire story I still wanted it to change it slightly, but without spoiling it it actually makes sense it's just personal preference. I loved Alpha as well the wolf has a lot of emotions shown through its actions and some slight use of CG.
They even created a language they use but even with it being non english the emotions run high in this one. Smit-McPhee as well is excellent and he really grows as a character here. He has such a believable love for his son and their chemistry is great. The performances are also something that excels in this movie. It does a great job even in the opening sequence of hunting the bison of just getting color palettes down and giving a sense of dread. Some of the best cinematography I've seen for any movie in 2018. First off this movie is shot beautifully. who has finally joined his father Chief Tau (Johannes Haukur Johannesson) on their tribes yearly hunt. The story takes place 20,000 years ago in Europe following a young man named Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The first trailers showed a very dark story (which it kinda is), but then newer trailers showed off a bit more of a family friendly "kid gets prehistoric dog" sort of story. The reason for these delays? I'm not even quite sure. Originally scheduled to release in September 2017 it was pushed to March 2018 then to September 2018 then back a month to August 2018 ultimately. After the young man reluctantly tames a lone wolf abandoned by its pack, the pair learn to rely on each other and become unlikely allies, enduring countless dangers and overwhelming odds in order to find their way home before winter arrives. While on his first hunt with his tribe's most elite group, a young man is injured and must learn to survive alone in the wilderness.
An epic adventure set in the last Ice Age, Alpha is a fascinating, visually stunning story that shines a light on the origins of man's best friend.
