Alpha movie review: what critics say (17)
What critics say Critics are divided: 2 of 17 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more, 8 gave it 2 or less. Praised: the script, the action and the performances.
A sturdy seat-warmer like “Alpha” may not seem that impressive if you’re watching it out of context, but it is still a better-than-average beat-the-heat summer movie.
Read the full reviewUltimately, Alpha is a botched up opportunity. It's sad but I would rather watch Deepika in Pathaan and Katrina in the Tiger series kick ass in second fiddle capacity than become toys of their own story.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
