Ben and the rest of the team track where the alien swarm (or the nanotech robot chips) is coming from.

If you liked the other Ben Ten movies, for sure you will also like Alien Swarm. The characters are more mature and are edgier than in the previous movies.
Just like in the other movies, Ben transforms into an alien form when he uses the Omnitrix. Plus, with muscle cars and motorcycles to boost, the movie will surely delight any adrenaline junkie out there.
The fight scenes in the movie are toned down, but are still thrilling enough to see. Your parents definitely have nothing to worry about the film as violence is practically nonexistent here. As Ben and his friends are already more mature, expect love sparks between the characters, but nothing too serious.
The movie’s quick pace will surely keep you on your toes. There are no dull moments in this film. The movie is still about the same Ben, only that you won’t see a ten-year-old boy this time. The only downside I could think of, if you’re a really huge fan of the animated series, is that the action you see on the cartoon version is not seen much in the movie. Nonetheless, Alien Swarm is still a great film to watch if you like action and adventure.
Lessons are also learned in the end. That being a true hero means helping others without choosing. That the things that happened in the past don’t really matter anymore; the important thing is being out there and helping others.
Starring Ryan Kelley as Ben Tennyson, Barry Corbin, Galadriel Steinman, and Nathan Keyes, Ben 10: Alien Swarm is given four out of five stars in this kids movie review.
