Here’s a fun fact: Cartoon Network actually hosted a giveaway to win Kevin’s car from this movie, and someone actually won it and delivered it to a kid’s high school, but the kid’s parents had to drive it home because he wasn’t old enough to drive yet
It is funny because looking back at the design of his Challenger in the movie, it’s literally just a stock Challenger hood with a faux hood scoop attached
Fun Fact: Dee Bradley Baker is the only actor from the animated series to have roles in this movie. He voices Big Chill and Humongousaur in this movie and the series.
That scene of Ben destroying Kevins car is definitely my favorite scene in the entire movie. Kevins reaction to it is priceless. Kevin: "Oh no. Don't do what I think you're going to do." Not to mention his reaction to the aftermath: Kevin (again): "Suddenly I had an urge to ship something overnight, and then we're up to our neck in your girlfriends chips, and that's right about the time you came along and annihilated my car."
"Not great, but much better than the last live action" seems to be the general consensus with this movie. I will say, I did like a lot of the music in this movie
I actually enjoyed the “Just a Little Faster” song from this movie, it’s so corny but I adored it. Went right along with that 2009 action hero vibe like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. Plus Peter Cullen narrated the commercial for a sweepstakes to win Kevin’s car!
@@honeyb4dger115my girlfriend always rolls her eyes a bit when I talk about Ben 10, but even she couldn't help but immediately add it to her rock playlist after I showed it to her on a camping trip😂
I was wondering. It seemed like they put a good bit into this, I was thinking maybe they had planned to continue this as a series too. I mean, they made a car.
@@KenSahajano because Nanomech isn’t fully nanochip he’s half nanochip half human making him the only fusion transformation accessible without the omnitrix being broken or the biomnitrix
That sorta true, although these is some disagreement among the show staff about whether Nanomech is a human/nanochip hybrid or if he’s simply an advanced form of Nanochip due to the Omnitrix turning Ben into the apex of his aliens. Also according to one of the creators, almost all of Ben’s aliens are at least partially human due to all of them possessing a small percentage of Ben’s human DNA, so pretty much all of his aliens are hybrids to an extent. But keep in mind all of these are crew statements and are never brought up in the series itself, so it’s subject to change.
I remember the "just a little faster" song that was made for this movie, I vividly remember watching it as a kid in my room when the music video would suddenly start playing and I'd be all happy. Oh the good ol days.
This movie turns 15 years old this year, I feel old. The actor Ryan Kelley (Ben), signed a deal for three movies, the second would’ve adapted the sequel series to AF (won’t say the name so that they don’t get spoiled).
This movie is incredible. The special effects in this movie is way better than the effects in Race Against Time, and Dee Bradley Baker and Alex Winter voicing Big Chill and Nanomech in this film is so cool. Also Alien Swarm has a lot of stuff that'll be explored more in Ultimate Alien.
I remember being so hyped for Race against time and This movie when they premiered I’m so excited to hear their thoughts on Nano mech and the CGI/Effects❤
@@adzinco6916 does that make it canon though? Is something considered canon if it happened in the universe that we follow from beginning to end or is something canon if it happened?
By name ??? They will literally show up in the show Nanomech appears in ultimate alien Elaina in omniverse And eon was a villain in ultimate alien and omniverse
@@spunkymaniac9312Elena appears in a non speaking cameo in one episode of Omniverse and because they went from her appearance in this movie to her UA appearance and back to this appearance people didn’t realize it was her

This movie is in the maintimeline so it has effects on the show in later episodes . The race against time movie was a diffirent timeline since we know how summer ended in the other movie . The race against time was a diffirent summer .
Ben & Kevin were on point. Straight out of show ❤ I still wish they should comeback for another liveaction as ben actor stated there was plan for like 3 more liveaction
This is probably as good of a live action Ben 10 movie as we're ever gonna get. It screams 2009 and I love it, from the Transformers-like insert songs to the patented 2009 color scheme. And it introduced me to There For Tomorrow which slaps.
If I recall correctly, during the movie premiere, you had an opportunity to call into Cartoon Network to win Kevin’s Car. I think the original live action movie also did something similar with an Omnitrix you could win. Not sure if anyone actually won though.
I know it's a different show kinda but it's considered part of the same era and they seem to like AF so I'm really hoping they watch Ultimate Alien even with my issues I have with it
@@TheNightTyrant I mean yes I have some issues with all the shows a little bit but all are worth watching, I hope they finish the entire franchise. And honestly omniverse is easily the most underrated even though people have come to like it now that it's been years
@@jeremy14o If you have minor issues with all shows (Not taking about Ben 10) then why are they worth highlighting that goes with every show that exist.
@@axelnilsson5124 I think Nanomech is a much better name. Plus, he already had Benwolf, Benmummy and Benvictor from other aliens he scanned at the time. It’s not creative, especially with his given name included. I’m glad they changed the names for the Halloween aliens.
Of note, Race against Time canonically is a seperate timeline, it's events did not occur in the main timeline, Alien Swarm did, or at least a broad strokes version of it
My favourite movie for Ben 10 is the first Live Action Race Against Time since a kid and until now. I didn't understand this movie as a kid (didn't stop me from watching on repeat) but I can appreciate it more now and was shocked when people said this was better than the other one.
I think the set they used for the Plumber Base was an Aquarium, and the green glass things are actually blue in real life. Someone probably commented that already.
i remember when this movie aired on tv they had a contest where youd call for a chance to win kevins car. phone companies made so much off of this movie
Okay, I swear to god I've seen this but have found next to no proof that it exists: There was an episode of Junkyard Wars where the Live Action cast from this movie went up against the Live Action cast from a Scooby Doo film, and they made a mystery machine vs Kevin's car. It was the most glorious thing ever and I love it. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about and where to find it??
Elena is new to the series but familiar with Ben & Gwen. New Alien: Nanomech, a Human/Nanochip Hybrid created by the Omnitrix; powers include: Flight, Shrinking, Bio-electric stings, & adaptability. Kevin makes a new car for Ben
0:13 I never watched it before, but I saw you guys were going to, and apparently it’s canon to the show, so I watched it. And I can confirm this is definitely a movie.
Yeah I'm kinda dreading that lol, I know they avoid all spoilers but I really hope their Discord or Editor informs them why Ben's personality changes to be more immature
I like that you breifly mentioned that Kevin's car is *meant* to be a classic muscle car (Paradox establishes that it's meant to be 30 years old in themid 00s)
The good thing about these two live-action movies is that they bring stuff into the Canon prime universe. Like Eon and Nanomech. Which fun fact about Nanomech. Nanomech isn't a member of a pre-existing species. It's the Omnitrix splicing Ben's DNA with the nanites creating a whole new species
I just tried to watch the full length version of this but I just could not get through it. You know something is incredibly dull when even the commentary from your favorite reactors isn't enough to get you through it.
To make you/the guys aware going forwards (if anyone who DOES read the comments for the channel, this aspect isn't really addressed from what I remember so I don't believe them to be spoilers): - Elena is a brand new character created for the movie with the implication being that Ben met her off-screen. - The "placement" of the movie is a bit weird, yeah it's meant to take place between Alien Force Season's 2 and 3, but the movie came out during Season 3. (guess this bit is more trivia) This one I think is technically a SPOILER for later on, so let them be aware of this after certain future events happen: - The canon of this movie is a bit wonky, it's a case of that a version of the movie events happened in the main timeline, but the way they're presented in the movie isn't. (there IS a possible canon reason, but that is Omniverse spoilers and Omniverse is kind of contradictory with some of its canon anyway)

Echo Echo is great.
My favorite part of this movie is Kevin. It feels like like he was taken straight from the show. The actor did a great job!
honestly I think all the actors did a fine job in the movie. It fits within the corny but with a lot of heart kids movie category.
I think kevin is just so dope, that even in a reduced state he is still dope
Well. Honestly I don't think he looks like Kevin enough.
But he act like him. So great acting,

Certified hood classic
It has no right to go that hard, but it does.
2010 cartoon network was dropping beats back then with generator rex and Ben 10
Very recently, the actor who played Ben in this movie said that his contract was for 3 movies.

I always thought it was so sweet that Kevin built a car for Ben.

Nanomech is the only Ben 10 'creature' that doesn't exist in the universe. It's a new alien purely made by the Omnitrix. 'Its a Omnitrix original'

Kind of

Both are canon ,one is canon to the main continuity (this one) while another is canon but from a different alternate universe@@axelnilsson5124
It’s canon.
The watch made Nanomech a half human hybrid so Ben would resist the Queen’s control.

Dudes There For Tomorrow has some really good stuff. Obviously A Little Faster but also HUNT, Remember When, I Can't Decide
The music in this movie is soo Good
listen to the OST guys
Will they ever watch the new season of young Justice? I may have missed the response
I find it a bit ironic that Ben’s actor in RAT was closer to Alien Force Ben’s age than his actor in this

Hopefully they watch Generator Rex first.
