I admit I am a fan of Ben 10, and while Race Against Time disappointed me I don't think it was that bad. Is the plot on the weak and predictable side despite having a great concept? In a way, yes. Is the script lacking? Yes. Is it too short and perhaps rushed as well? Yes.

However, it is not as bad as it is made out to be. For a TV movie, the production values are decent, with decent cinematography and locations and the effects are not as slip-shod or slapdash as one might think, Heatblast is actually very impressive. The soundtrack is also great, the character relationships are believable enough and the action is choreographed in an efficient manner. The acting is not award worthy, but it is not horrible. I applaud Graham Phillips for trying, and he does, but he does verge on trying too hard. The other actors especially Lee Majors and Haley Ramm range from decent to great. Also I loved the title, it gave a sense of real urgency.

Overall, it is disappointing and I would recommend the cartoons Ben 10, Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and the recent TV movie Alien Swarm over this, but it is not that bad compared to some of the reviews I have read on here. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Based on the Cartoon Network series and directed by Alex Winter - yes, that Alex Winter - Ben 10 Race Against Time is a great live-action version of a kid-friendly series that you may have slept on.

Ben Tennyson has the power of the Omnitrix, which allows him to transform into a multitude of super-powered different characters (for ten minutes at a time) to protect the galaxy, a job his grandfather (Lee Majors!) has done for decades. But now, Eon wants to destroy our her and use the Hands of Armageddon to open a gateway to his home dimension and unleash war upon our planet.

It turns out that Eon is an alternate reality version of Ben gone wrong, one that has learned how to get past the time limit of the Omnitrix. Only four of the powered forms - Diamondhead, Grey Matter, Heatblast and Wildmutt - show up here, but I really enjoyed getting to see a live-action version of a cartoon that I really dig.

Winter would also direct a sequel, Ben 10: Alien Swarm. And hey - Lee Majors is the perfect actor for Max.

Look I have been a long time fan of Ben 10 and I actually remember watching this movie when I was about 8 and I personally think this movie was decent. The CGI effects were good and the story was decent.

The acting wasn't the best either like Ben looked way too old to be 10 also why didn't gwen not use any of her magic powers in the movie?
