“Ben 10: Alien Swarm” will be the new live action film based on the Ben 10 Alien Force cartoon. It has just started being filmed and will air on Cartoon Network this autumn. It follows the success of the first live action film “Ben 10: Race Against Time” from 2007. The plot is set within the new Alien Force world where Ben is now 15 years old. Ben, Gwen and their sometimes friend, sometimes enemy Kevin, find themselves facing yet another intergalactic threat to save the planet from aliens. A long time friend of Ben’s, Elena, needs help to find her missing father and of course the teenager is more than happy to “hero” up.

My 7 year old son had been waiting for yesterday for ages. As soon as Ben 10 Alien Force was advertised as “Coming Soon” on Cartoon Network, he had me write it on the calendar so we wouldn’t forget to watch it! So we got to watch the first two episodes and he wasn’t disappointed. The first bit, setting the scene, where Ben didn’t have his new Omnitrix yet, didn’t do much for him, but when he started transforming he was over the moon. We got to see Swampfire, Echo Echo and Humungousaur – the latter being his favourite. He used to like Four Arms and I think this new huge beast that sounds like a dinosaur (another love of his) caught his imagination. He can’t wait for the next episodes.
