ALPHA: This movie has no big name stars but it is a big movie, none-the-less. In some part of Europe 20,000 year ago there was a boy named Keda on his first hunt with his Cro-Magnun tribe. When a group of bison, they were stalking, turns on them, the boy is thrown over a cliff and his tribe must abandon him, leaving him for dead on an unreachable ledge below. He survives and eventually is attacked by a pack of wolves. Injuring one of them, he takes pity on the creature and nurses it back to health. Thus begins this tale of survival in a cruel wilderness as the boy tries to make his way home. It is a tale of friendship and the ultimate discovery of "mans best friend." The visuals in this movie are beyond description... breathtaking, inspiring and beautiful don't even come close. The lead actor (Kodi Smit-McPhee) is a revelation and someone to watch. Subtitles are used throughout since they speak a language that was created for the film, but it is easy to follow and you soon don't even notice they are there. This is a totally unique movie that everyone should see for it's humanity and beauty. And the ending will leave you in awe and enraptured. It really is a must!
