Ben 10: Alien Force

Show Summary

Ben 10: Alien Force is the sequel to the hit Cartoon Network series, Ben 10. The series takes place five years later after the original. Ben no longer wears the Omnitrix, and his cousin, Gwen, has honed her skills in magic. But when an alien invasion of the DNAliens strike Earth and Grandpa Max goes missing, Ben decides that it's hero time once again. He's not alone, as he is joined by Gwen, and even his old archenemy, Kevin Levin. Now it's time once again for Ben to begin his quest to find his grandfather and stop the invasion from the evil DNAliens. Our heroes will cruise around with Kevin and his car. The show will tackle some mature issues, although the target audience will be the same. Ben's allies seem to be a mixture of aliens and humans; so far the first confirmed is a Pyronite (Heatblast's alien species) kid.

  • BEN 10 SPIN OFF

    5.5
    I WROTE MY OWN SPIN OFF TO BEN 10, THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITTEN! PLEASE READ IT AND GIVE ME FEEDBACK IF YOU AGREE WITH MY PERCEPTION :)

  • The best entry into the Ben 10 franchise

    9.0
    So, Alien Force takes the awesome concept and characters from Ben 10, and grows them up a bit, whilst adding a much darker, mature tone to the story. Thankfully this works! Seasons 1 and 2 of this show are utterly brilliant and will please both child and adult fans. There's a fantastically realised story arc that has a great pay-off when it ends. Season 3, however, has a few rather poor episodes, but most are still great fun, and the series finale is absolutely spectacular. I would've rated the show a 10 if it weren't for the couple of bad episodes in Season 3. But all in all, this show is great entertainment that never insults your intelligence.moreless
  • Pure Crap

    1.0
    Boring show, terrible animation, lack of good facial expressions and emotions. The transformations were half-assed at best, proven when they tried to re-animate ben's original aliens for the show - 7ALU (original Heatblast) vs. 2Honq6AJIw (Alien Force Heatblast). There's an obviously enormous drop in quality. Additionally, all the new aliens are crap.



    Except Rath. I have to say, he honestly amused me a lot, and being voiced by John Dimaggio (Bender, Futurama) really helped with that. Other than him, though, LAME.



    One other thing, though: I like Omniverse. I've heard a lot of negative feedback (heh heh - Feedback) about it, but it's at least a crapload better than Alien Force. The art style really helps, even with Ben's new pupil-less, soulless eyes. Plus they made Eatle cool.moreless

    didn't like it mainly the art, that was the main point another thing was the redesign of the omnitrix to make it look more like a watch than it it did in the original, they added green as a sort of signature to the series now and been wears a green jacket that has the number 10 on it which is rather cheesy i rather liked bens black and white shirt that he wore in the original as it also was seen as a uniform on his aliens so you could recognize it as him



    another annoyance made gwen an alien, in the ben 10000 episode of the original series she has all the stones and is using powers from them and with ben he uses his original aliens plus more but they're more powerful the ultamatrix is actually when they show the episode with bens son kenny but for some reason in this episode grampa max is really skilly still has the robotic arm but kevin mixed alien form was awesome and he had just escaped the null void so thinking on this alien force doesn't match the story of the original at all



    but the original had better transformations also where as now it just shows a skeleton stretching and then skips to the alien



    what really annoying is that they say bens character is more serious really, sure they took out the stupid sumo slammer obsession but now he's got an even dumber obsession with chili dogs and chocalate malts



    personally the only designs i really like were the original and when alien force ben teamed up with generator rex thank god they used the generator rex style otherwise it would not of been worth watching, but they've actually made a worse design now that being omniversemoreless
  • Face it. I watched it because I liked the old Ben 10, and to see Charmcaster.

    1.0
    Face it, I watched this for one reason, and one alone: Charmcaster. Charmcaster looked ugly here, and I kept picturing her as her Ben 10 self, not her current Ben 10,000 Ultimate Alien self. And Gwen has an alien grandma? Where's the magic explanation, huh? Kevin falls in love with Gwen? Plot hole after plot hole? Was three spin offs necessary for Ben? Would we have suffered this if we had enjoyed the first series while it lasted instead of bashing it like the morons we were? It kills the name, the Franchise Ben 10--what possibly possessed them to make this?moreless
