Survival in the Ice Age, with unexpected help...
“Alpha” takes place in Europe 20,000 years ago. Tribal chief Tau (Johannes Haukur Johannesson) looks to his young son Keda (Kodi Smit-McPhee, “X-Men: Apocalypse”) to become the next chief. Keda, however, is sensitive and seems too weak to assume the responsibilities. To develop the skills he will need to be a great leader, Keda must learn how to survive in a harsh environment.<br /><br />For the characters of this distant past to communicate, director Albert Hughes (“The Book of Eli”) commissioned an invented language of odd-sounding syllables. The actors’ facial expressions, vocal emphases, and reactions clarify meaning, and English subtitles at the bottom of the screen make sure viewers can follow the plot.<br /><br />The film opens with several Paleolithic bands of men coming together for the Great Hunt. They slink along the ground toward a herd of bison. Their goal is to drive the beasts over a steep cliff, killing as many as possible to provide food for their families. At the right moment, the men begin screaming and running toward the herd, startling them into a stampede and cutting them off from escape. It’s a carefully choreographed, efficient practice. But during the melee, one of the bison tosses Keda over the cliff. Unable to reach him and presuming him dead, Tau and the rest of the hunters mark his place of death with stones and leave.<br /><br />But Keda is alive, though with broken bones that he sets as best he can with a makeshift splint. Now, weakened and in pain, he must set out on a long, dangerous trek home, with only a map of the Big Dipper tattooed on his hand to guide him. Winter is approaching and he will be at the mercy of the elements.<br /><br />When a pack of wolves attacks him, he injures the alpha wolf but then feels sorry for the suffering animal and nurses it back to health. The relationship is testy at first, but gradually the wolf recognizes that Keda is not his enemy. Together, young man and wolf — both recovering from their wounds — brave blizzards and hunger as they make their unlikely journey together.<br /><br />In a punishing environment, Keda learns not only how to use his own wit and skills but also that compassion can be a strength rather than a weakness. This is his passage into adulthood.<br /><br />Smit-McPhee is on screen for practically the entire film. With little dialogue, he turns in a moving performance that shows the evolution of his character.<br /><br />The bond between man and dog is traced back to this story of survival, when dire circumstances forced natural enemies to rely on one another. Though dog lovers will especially enjoy this film, it is a solid adventure picture suitable for the entire family despite some intense moments.<br /><br />Cinematography is spectacular. Filmed on location in Canada by cinematographer Martin Gschlacht, the movie offers breathtaking views of snow-covered landscapes, ice lakes, mountainous terrain, and night skies filled with stars. Quiet moments allow the viewer to take in nature’s silent beauty while ironically pointing out that something so lovely can be so potentially lethal.<br /><br />Rated PG-13, “Alpha” is neither a sequel nor a retread, making it all the more welcome. It’s a straightforward coming-of-age tale highlighted by magnificent cinematography, seamless CGI, and gripping adventure.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the Blu-ray release include both the theatrical version and director’s cut, alternate opening and ending, deleted scenes with director’s commentary, and four behind-the-scenes featurettes. A digital copy is enclosed.
