Cartoon Network’s “Ben 10” Goes on His Most Out-of-this-World Adventure Yet in




With a meteor heading straight for Earth, it is us to Ben to stop it and save the world.  After some training, he heads into space, but all doesn't go as planned. His target was the meteor, but Sam ends up passing right past it and enters a wormhole, where he then comes face to face with Outer Space aliens who think he is Vilgax, a super villain.  All while this is going on, the meteor lands on Earth, but doesn't destroy it. Instead, Vilgax, is hiding in the meteor.  It is up to Ben to rush back to Earth and save everyone from this evil super villian before he destroys the planet and harms everyone.  Will Ben be able to escape the aliens who are holding him captive, thinking he is the real Vilgax in disguise, or will they help Ben save the day and his planet from Vilgax.  Don't worry, I will not spoil the ending of this movie.  What I will say, though, that this is a great Ben 10 movie, and a must see for fans of Ben 10 or those looking for a fun animated movie from Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment to watch.  

The movie itself is 69 minutes in length, and while it isn't rated, I would recommend it for kids ages 10 and above, as little ones could get scared with the villian, meteor crashing to Earth, etc.  My girls sat with my husband and I to watch it the other night, and loved it!  They have seen other Ben 10 movies, and said that this one was their favorite.  They found themselves on the edge of their seats waiting to see what happened next, and kept rooting for Ben to save the day.
