Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens Review

The boys have always loved Ben 10 right from the beginning.  When it started,  R in particular was at just the  perfect age for the action and adventure that it provided and L loved pretending to be the different aliens.  We have boxes full of various Ben 10 aliens and characters and several versions of the Omnitrix, so the boys were really curious to see what this new film was like.


So what is Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens about?

Ten-year-old Ben Tennyson is finally back from his summer vacation, and his life is a mess! Humiliated by his teacher, harassed by bullies, grounded by his parents, and cursed with a malfunctioning Omnitrix that's vaporizing his homework, Ben jumps at the chance to get away from it all at the Total Alien Immersion training program on the far side of the galaxy.  Little does Ben know that total immersion means he can never turn human again. Crashing back to earth and stuck in his alien forms, Ben becomes the target of an all new evil alien, Retaliator, engaging in a deadly cross-world battle, where nothing is as it seems.


The nice thing about this film, is that it goes right back to the beginning when Ben was 10.  It is a CGI animation and so it has a really different look and feel to the original cartoon and the boys actually thought that it was better than the original.  It is nice to reconnect with the original characters and in particular the original aliens and there is certainly no shortage of action.  Great cartoon, great effects and a good storyline, make this a really entertaining film and my boys certainly gave it the thumbs up.


Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens is currently available for £5 on Amazon and it would make a great stocking filler.
