Review First Watch: 'Ben 10: Ultimate Alien'
Here review of First Watch: 'Ben 10: Ultimate Alien'.While watching Cartoon Network's Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, one can practically taste the "sweet" cereal being spooned into their mouth... even though the show airs Sunday nights. And the Ben 10 story is a sweet one indeed. The series, basically about a boy who gets an alien device (the Omnitrix) attached to his arm that allows him to turn into various alien creatures, first debuted in 2005 as simply Ben 10.
2008 saw the mutation of Ben 10 into Ben 10: Alien Force, set five years later, and featuring more mature characters and darker, more complex plots. And yet again, in 2010, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien was born. Ben is now 16, and the proud owner of the Ultimatrix, giving him access to all his original powers, but also allowing him to evolve into ultra-powerful "ultimate" alien forms.

So what exactly does homeboy do with his time? Dodge the paparazzi, for one, since his secret identity was outed to the world by a young fan. Besides that, it's battling alien threats to the galaxy with his friends Gwen and Kevin, and his Grandpa Max (voiced by the fantastic and instantly recognizable Paul Eiding, Colonel Campbell from the Metal Gear Solid series). So, you know, the usual. The current Big Bad is Aggregor, who is in hot pursuit of the Map of Infinity. So why should we care?

YODA-ISH DUDE - If we don't stop him, the entire universe will tremble at his might.

Oh right, that. Thankfully, the show balances its sci-fi zaniness with a strong dose of age-appropriate humor.

BEN - Cool screen-saver.

YODA-ISH DUDE - It is not a screen-saver. It is the single most important item in the universe.

But back to the sci-fi zaniness. Admittedly, I was expecting some flashy CG graphics or nifty cell shading, but the animation is actually pretty traditional. Which isn't to say the action isn't good,
