I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Hello IMDb this is bluhmfamily and it's time to review Ben 10: Race against Time, WAIT, did I say Ben 10: Race against Time? Alright I'll review this!! I was young in 2007 and loved the show Ben 10 so much, I was waiting for a preview for a live movie. When I saw the preview for this movie, I shouted and cried in joy. At first I thought it was a live movie about Ben getting the Omnitrix and Vilgax wanting it and all that junk.But then I saw it was called "Ben 10: Race against Time", I was confused.Alright to the movie begins with the night life of Bellwoodd, suddenly a guy named Eon appears and blows up lots of stuff. Suddenly, Heatblast shows up (who looks very,very,very,very fake). Heatblast tells Eon that he should leave, suddenly the sheriff shows up, Eon then calls his minions down. WAIT WAIT WAIT, minions, REALLY!, they look like something you would find in a Power Rangers episode! Heatblast then battles Eon's minions like he's a toy.Heatblast then burns Eon, why can't that be the end of this dang movie! Heablast then flies away, after landing, Heatblast suddenly turns back to Ben, who looks nothing like himself. We see the Rustbucket pull up and Gwen and Max step out of it. Gwen tells Ben that Heatblast totally burned up Bellwoodd. Max says that Ben needs to get home before his parents wake up and that he has school the next day. Rewind the movie and see that the clock says 2:50 AM. And I thought that in 2008 we see the final episode of Ben 10 air; I guess the episode was non-cannon.After riding to MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!, Ben also tries to re-live his old life but fails at it.Next we see Ben's parents for the first time ("Goodbye and Good Riddance" is non-cannon). And I have to admit, the movie was moving smoothly until Ben's parents, Carol and Sandra come in! They just suddenly make the movie really bad.After a worthless scene with Max, Ben goes to a diner that should be Mr. Smmothy (a restraint from Ben 10: Alien Force). Ben transforms into Greymatter to hack the restraint's machines because Cash and J.T, and a bunch of girls wreck his life again.Ben later finds out that Eon is still alive, Max tells Ben and Gwen that Eon was the first alien the Plumbers ever captured. The three go to the place were Eon was kept (It must have been before the Null Void was created), they go to the place and find out that Eon destroyed the place long ago. Max tells Ben and Gwen that Eon is after the Hands of Armygedon to unleash his people from Chronia to invade Earth.They find the "Hands" back in Bellwood, later Eon hacks the Omnitrix and makes it stop working and pointlessly chases Ben around the street.Later, Max tells Ben that Eon will need the Omnitrix to power the "Hands". The next day, Ben is alone in the gym until Eon finds him.Ben transforms to Diamondhead and shortly battles him. Later, Ben and Gwen are in the park until Max shows up and finds out that Ben and Gwen are trying to let Eon find them.The Rustbucket is destroyed and not even Upgrade can repair it. OH BOY! Time to make the Rustbucket II, the RV we don't see until Ben 10: Alien Force! Max fights like a really old grandpa and lets Eon capture him along with Ben and Gwen.Ben wakes up and finds out that Eon needs to Omnitrix to turn Ben into a younger clone of Eon since the "Hands" can only be worked with a young Chronian. Ben transforms into Eon, not Beneon, or Bentime, or Bon, the alien is just called Eon! After a stressful scene, Eon transforms back to Ben and the real Eon freezes time and throws Ben across the room. Ben transforms to Wildmutt and uses Gwen to toss Eon into the "Hands". Gwen and Wildmutt make it to the talent show and they all live happily ever after.This movie plainly ruined the Ben 10 show, the show suddenly became bad because of this movie! I give Ben 10: Race against Time a 3 out of 10 because it's poor, stupid, pointless, no trace of connection with the show, the Omnitrix aliens poor CGI graphics, and the poor acting.But the universe of Ben 10 still has one last hope of fixing the series. That fixer is called "Ben 10: Alien Force"

I don't watch cartoons that much, but I know that the Ben 10 and Ben 10 Alien Force series are one of the most popular cartoons of all time. Making the series into a movie is interesting, but you lose all interest if you watch this crap of a movie.Firstly, they've changed it from animated to real life. Now, that is pretty stupid considering you have to make ALIENS look real. They failed big-time cause in one scene where Ben transforms into Diamondhead, he looked like a gigantic green pile of plastic wrapped in shiny aluminum. Heatblast didn't look too bad, and neither did Grey Matter. I don't understand why they made Wildmutt spit all the time.Second, the story is very obvious. Hey look, there's a random scary guy, better transform into an alien. Hey, look I beat him. Blah blah blah, it's not interesting. The acting couldn't have been worse. I bet a random pensioners live savings that a 3-year old kid could've done a better job than Graham Phillips(Ben).Finally, the action is like babies fighting over a teddy bear. In the beginning, Heatblast did not do much kicking and punching and he kicked butt. The villain couldn't have been more stupid.This movie is a total disgrace to the Ben 10 series. If you have watched this movie please chuck it out or return it as soon as possible(if you have rented it). If you haven't, please don't watch it(unless you are really desperate and/or bored).

I watched this film, and honestly, i had very low expectations, and not even those were met.The film starts off straight into the action and introduces heatblast who, whilst the special effects are good, looks almost nothing like you would expect him too.It then moves on to Ben going back to school and honestly, none of the characters act anything like themselves. Ben should be immature, yes, but he should also have the side to him which makes him think he's amazing, but the actor makes him seem like an idiot who knows he has powers, but thinks he's pretty useless. Gwen should be egotistical and mature, instead she cowers from Ben, and is just plain annoying and i just wanted to slap her and tell he to shut up.As for Max and Bens parents, they were so badly portrayed that it hurt to watch. The acting was wooden apart from the acting of Ben's bullys, and that's just because they only had one line in the film to use over and over again.The enemy kept coming back even though he failed, and for some reason had some shocking plot twist in his head of "IM YOU AND THATS ONLY BECAUSE I CAN USE YOUR WATCH TO MAKE YOU TALLER AND INTO AN EVEN WORSE ACTOR".The only upside to this film was the special effects, and they were downright abysmal, i was expecting an amazing array of aliens, and we got 4 which had some of the worst screen time in history.I would rather watch AVP than this disappointment of a film which doesn't even seem like a Ben 10 film, just something they made and then slapped the name onto.This is recommended to nobody, even a hardcore fan would not enjoy it.

The good- Ben 10's aliens looked cool, especially Wildmutt. Eon is an OK villain. I'm glad that I got to see the P.L.U.M.B.E.R.S. The action was pretty good. I'm glad that I got to see the aliens in live-action.The bad-Grandpa Max does not look close to how he looked in the series. Gwen didn't have any magical powers. There was no villain from the series. Without the commercials, it is only a little bit over an hour. I would have liked to see more aliens. I wish that it didn't take so long for the movie to air. I waited for like two months to see it. I was kind of impressed with the movie. I would have liked Eon's henchman to not look like Power Rangers villains.
