Aug 17, 2018 · August 17, 2018. 4 min read. “Alpha” is your basic “boy and his dog” story, except this time the dog is a wolf and the story takes place twenty-thousand years ago. This is marketed as a film about the “origins of man’s best friend,” but if you ask me, it’s an ad designed to guilt you into buying your kids a wolf.
The main inaccuracy, from what we know, is that the people are likely too light-skinned. My sense is that lighter-skinned peoples originated no more than 10,000 years ago, probably in the Caucasus region, and populated Europe from 5,000-8,000 years ago. This movie is set over 20,000 years ago. 8. akodo1. • 3 yr. ago.
Parents say (36 ): Kids say (20 ): This is a ripping good adventure yarn with memorable visuals and an original premise and feel. Alpha presents a plausible take on the origins of the human-canine bond -- but more importantly, it's an absorbing survival tale with an appealing main character and a wolf that everyone will root for.
