I remember hearing somebody discussing the future of 3-D movies on CBS.He said that the biggest danger to the current 3-D boom will come whenthe market gets flooded with cheaply made, poor-quality 3-D films andthe term "3-D" will quickly become associated with mediocrity, orworse.

He couldn't have been more right.

There are so many reasons not to see this film but I will keep thisfairly short. First and foremost is the story which is insulting at itsmost basic level. Kids can learn so much from watching movies, which iswhy their information should be somewhat based in fact. The world ofnature seen in this movie makes me believe that the filmmakers hadwolves and bees confused with their thoughts of Alphas and Omegas.After all, the "alphas" are just leaders, not genetically bred superwolves. Each litter of wolves can have alphas and there are no "omegas"- just other wolves.

And then there is the war between the two wolf clans which is fine forstory, but if there truly was a war such as that there would be no foodto found and there is obviously tons of caribou all over. The Lion Kingdid an excellent job of showing that the food had gone completelyscarce with bad decision making. Conversely, these must be the DUMBESTwolves imaginable eating bones and fighting each other instead ofhunting the meat widely available all over. My point is - why createentertainment that dumbs down our kids? Subtle changes could haveenlightened our children and been a boost to their brains.

The film even had acting problems. For example there was supposed to bea wolf named Garth that upon his horrible howl, birds would fall fromthe sky. This could have worked had the actor been able to emit ahorrible howl. Instead, his howl was just weak and when the birds fell,it was cute but made zero sense. So much of the film was like this -half-thought-out ideas that might have worked with better writers andactors but upon completion didn't work at all. There is a total lack ofemotion as well.

But if all of that isn't enough to kill brain cells, the animationsurely can't help. This is crude animation that looks more like astudent film than a theatrically released motion picture with big namevoices. The wolves look more like dogs with tiny tiny teeth withfeathers rather than manes. And the golfing goose(Balto, anyone?),while a cute idea, is one of the most disturbing images I've seen inyears.

Finally, if you feel you absolutely must see the movie against thisentire warning - For the love of sanity..stay away from the 3D version.They did not go all out with the 3D AT ALL and it not only lookshorrible but it will hurt your head and cause tremendous strain to youreyes as well. I've had some bad 3D experiences so far, but this by faris the worst. I mean, this isn't even a bad movie, it's ABYSMAL,failure.

Don't see this movie, trust me.

I had was not expecting much when I went to the theaters to watch this.But about halfway through the movie I realized I was sitting on theedge of my chair getting really excited about what was going to happen.I thought the characters were interesting and funny, and the overalltheme of the movie a good one too. I think the only only thing i wantedto see more of was more of the wolves interacting with the humans, orseeing the human world. But I thought that the addition of the geesecharacters was awesome!! they totally made the movie that much better.They were like Timon and Pumba from the lion king!

I wish that I had movies like this when I was a kid!!

Cartoon about 2 wolves, an alpha (Panettiere) and an omega (Long),whoget relocated to Idaho and there journey back home. Two wolves that areunable to "be" together get captured and relocated to another parkhalfway across the country. They set out for home with help from somevery funny friends. Being a kids movie not much really to review,(except my kids really liked it). For the adults who watch this Ireally found it to be a metaphor for a class based system of the havesand have-nots. I may have read too much into it, but it makes a goodpoint of love conquering all, no matter who or what you are. Deepenough? There were some really funny scenes in this but it isdefinitely a kids movie. Adults won't be totally bored, but don'texpect "Shrek" type humor in this. I give it a B-, My kids give it anA.

I thought this movie was entertaining and it wasn't a chore to sitthrough, but there was a lot of things missing and the story, althoughspontaneous, lacked plot. It starts off as a basic love story, somebodyloves somebody, but cannot be with them for whatever reason, and thenthey go on an adventure and fall in love. Well, this "adventure" wasn'tmuch of an adventure at all, they basically just ride home in vehicles.

The story was "mushy". It had a lot of love scenes that strangely,instead of being romantic, had some sort of intercourse, or a hint ofintercourse. (be it kissing, or "repopulating"). There were a couplemissing parts like how dead trees appeared whenever they needed tosled. If I were to recommend one of my friends to this movie, I'd tellthem to wait for 2d or until 2d DVD. The 3d wasn't all that exciting,unless you want to pay 3 bucks to see golf balls fly at your face.

I haven't actually seen this movie yet, but I find the premise to beutterly ironic. As a citizen of the state of Idaho, I am aware of thegeneral feeling towards the Canadian wolves that have been relocated inIdaho. For the most part they are hated, as they have obliterated theelk population and made the lives of farmers and hunters miserable, asthey frequently kill livestock and hunting dogs. I am excited to watchthis movie and see how they portray the point of view of the wolves. Idon't expect that this movie will be an excellent children's movie, butI can see how it could be an interesting political commentary. I wonderhow many people who watch the movie will also make this connection...

Is it Lambda? Delta? Oprah? It doesn't matter since my point is thatthis is a mediocre kid's movie. I say it's mediocre because while thekids I took to see it thought the slapstick parts were pretty funny,there is, unlike most great kids' movies, nothing really to keep adultsfrom falling into a light coma.

You probably know the story, it's been told a million times in athousand different ways. Two creatures fall in love despite societalpressures. Everyone learns that everyone is important (except bears!)and we all come away with a greater understanding of each other. That'sa fine little message and it's worth repeating until it sinks in. Andthe kids obviously found the goofy antics and thrills fun and engaging.So as far as amusing the lil' squirts is concerned, I have really nocomplaints.

However, it's a bit rough on us old geezers (anyone over 12 years oldin this case). That doesn't make it a bad movie at all, but that doesmean that it's not a great one either. This movie does its job. Itentertains kids for about 90 minutes. This is a good one to throw inyour DVD player if you need some free time to clean the house or maybejust mix up a batch of martinis and catch your breath.
