Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

ReallyBigNeo This movie was a masterpiece, would watch till the day I die.

Mel J I am definitely far older than the average age demography of fans for the 'Ben 10' fandom but I do enjoy watching a kiddie flick on occasion. These films serve as good background noise if I'm also reading or on the computer and often have plots that don't require much investment and, as such, can be relaxing. 'Ben 10: Race Against Time' certainly qualifies as one such film that fits the profile. This film centres around twelve-year-old Ben Tennyson, who has the ability to turn into various alien forms for up to ten minutes at a time with the aid of his Omnitrix. After a summer of fighting aliens and saving the planet alongside his grandfather Max and his twelve-year-old cousin Gwen, Ben is now struggling with the normality of school. However, it seems the excitement is not over when a mysterious villain stalks Ben and is intent on possessing the Omnitrix for himself.I am not in the least familiar with 'Ben 10' so cannot really comment on how faithful this live-action film is to cartoon show and only on what I saw as an unbiased source! In terms of the actors, I thought Graham Phillips and Haley Ramm did a reasonable job in their respective roles as Ben and Gwen, depicting the characters in a realistic age-appropriate manner (although if Ben and Gwen meant to be only ten then they were a shade too old). Ben was prone to showing off, could be moody yet was brave and determined to protect those around him while Gwen was slightly more mature and equally as loyal but could be impatient and snippy, which is exactly how I see children of their age acting. In fact, it was actually refreshing to see children acting like children instead of mini teenagers (not one hint of teeny-bopper romance!) or cool, collected little adults who have the answer to everything. Lee Majors played the role of Max Tennyson, the steadfast and loving grandfather to the cousins, and he was effective as the character without over-shadowing the two child actors since this was more their show.In terms of negative aspects to the film, the CGI was terrible but I don't think you can expect multi-million pound Hollywood standards in a made-for-TV film for kids. There also seemed to be something wrong with Ben's parents since they acted like flaky, clueless freaks who had escaped from a Sixties hippie commune. It would have been more interesting to see them as normal, concerned parents who know there is something important going on in their son's life. And where were Gwen's parents since she seemed to just wander around like an orphan (which perhaps she is in the show) with no mention of them? It would also have been a nice addition to Gwen's character had she done a bit more in terms of the fighting.Overall, 'Ben 10: Race Against Time' is not going to win any Oscars nor is it a remake of 'The Godfather' or 'Citizen Kane' but it is an entertaining enough flick, especially for younger kids who like plenty of action and characters they can root for. It also isn't terrible enough that any adult, who has to watch it with their children or young siblings (or as background noise!), will feel the need to poke their eyes out.

CCharmanderK Okay, I'm a little ticked off right now, so i'm going to use some objectionable language in this review.Ahem... all of the guys above me who gave Race Against Time a rating lower than a 7 are dumbasses. This was a great move, and for many reasons.The acting was great. Especially Eon, who was just a natural character to the movie. The action sequences were top-notch and well choreographed, especially for a mere 5-million-dollar budget. Only bad acting was on Haley Ramm's part, but thank God Alex Winters made Gwen a minor character here.This movie also ties into the show well, too. It has a similar explanation of the Omnitrix, the Omnitrix itself looks exactly like in the show, and the Rustbucket looked perfect, despite Eon destroying it.I can go on and on about this, but I'll stop here. RAT is a good movie. Awesome at that.10/10

Tiller77 Well, long story short, it sucked. I even just went and created an account to say what a POS it was.It IS at least a fairly decent storyline. Ben returns from his extremely extended summer to school. Eon wakes up from his slumber apparently JUST around the time when he goes back to school, he wants the power of the Omnitrix, yadda yadda yadda, we've all been here before. They need the power of the Omnitrix to do SOME important thing whether it means restoring something, conquering something, etc.Anyway, the acting, it was pretty rigid, there was no real emotion put into it, they sounded like they were reading directly off of cue cards and hadn't practiced their lines at all.Also, something that really peeved me, since I hadn't really gotten much out of the story in general, I looked forward to seeing how the aliens would be in 3d, well, to my disappointment, they only showed FOUR of the aliens throughout the ENTIRE movie! Cmon now, they only chose grey matter, heatblast, diamondhead, and wildmutt.He has about 6 other freaking aliens! (Not including cannon bolt and wildvine at least.) And considering that its AFTER the entire summer, he actually should have about 15-20! (During the whole ghostfreak Epoch.) I mean, they coulda at least done I dunno, fourarms, his most common choice, stinkfly, for I dunno, some sort of rescue off of a bridge.If you saw this, I feel really sorry for you, because you wasted over an hour of your life. This movie is something that somebody of my age could've just put together in the last second after procrastinating it for about a quarter of a year.In other words, THIS. MOVIE. SUCKED! Don't waste your time. The show is great, this movie was horrible.
