Ben 10 Alien Force: Vol. 5 (Cartoon Network/Warner DVD)
Picture:
C Sound: C Extras: C- Episodes: B
Ben 10 is back, fighting DNaliens,
Forever Knights, protecting the Earth and just trying to be a teenager. In Volume
5, Ben, Gwen and Kevin learns of more about alien powers and technologies
they finally begin to learn what the DNaliens are up to. But before all that they must rescue 'Ship'
their shapeshifting pet alien, face Ben's parents when they find out his extracurricular
activities, discover what really happened Ben's Grampa Max. The fate of the world is in hands of Ben and
his friends.
Join Ben,
Gwen and Kevin as they stop the alien hordes from invading the Earth. Ben
inherited the Omnitrix, piece of alien technology that allows him to turn into
various aliens and use their powers. Joined with his cousin Gwen, she can use psychic
energy to form objects, shields or to just blast things away. Kevin a former
nemesis can change into whatever matter he touches and keeps them informed of
any alien activity or technology. Asides
from fighting aliens and saving the world from time to time, Ben, Gwen and Kevin
tries to be normal teenagers, going to school, going shopping, going to the
movies, but more often finding themselves in an alien nest with some sinister
plot to take over the world.
If you
like teenaged superheroes and aliens this is an amusing series. In Volume 5, it is a bit more comical, especially
in the episode when Ben gets grounded by his parents, how long did it take for
them to finally notice Ben and his powers? Also on a side note, of all the places the
alien races could appear on Earth it's somehow all within driving distance of
Ben's home too. While Ben is more like a
one man army he is constantly supported by Gwen and Kevin, they help him track
down the aliens and watch his back. Extras
include a sneak peek to the live action Ben 10 movie, but not much else.
