Ben 10: Omniverse, Vol. 1 - A New Beginning

This two-disc DVD set contains all ten episodes of the first story arch of Ben 10: Ominverse. Being a fan of Ben 10, I can honestly say that this is an excellent series, one that I prefer over the last series Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. If you love what made the original series and Alien Force so much fun, then I can honestly say that Omniverse is a series that you definitely have to check out. It's got plenty of action, great animation, cool classic and new characters, lots of humor... and not to mention a whole pantheon of new aliens! Episode List Disc One Beware of Spoilers. Episode 1- The More Things Change, Part 1 Five years ago, Ben Tennyson faces off with a new enemy, Malware. Five years later, Kevin and Gwen leave when Gwen takes early enrollment in an Ivy League college, and Kevin moves to be near her. Ben is forced to fight crime alone, but Grandpa Max (Magister Tennyson - the commander of the Earth-base's Plumbers) gives him a new partner, rookie Plumber Rook Blonko. Ben and Rook end up in their first team-up when Mr. Baumann's store is targeted for destruction by three alien criminals (Bubble Helmet, Fistina, and Liam) as part of their protection racket. An intergalactic hunter named Khyber watches Ben from the shadows. Episode 2- The More Things Change, Part 2 After stopping Bubble Helmet, Fistina, and Liam from blowing up Mr. Baumann's superstore, Ben and Rook discover an underground alien city named Undertown where they discover that Psyphon is behind the protection racket. At the same time, Khyber sends his pet in the form of Buglizard to hunt Ben. Episode 3- A Jolt From The Past The Megawhatts that Ben fought in his youth come back. This time, they need Ben's help when they are being used as a power source for the villain Fistrick and his gang. Episode 4- Trouble Helix Infiltrating the Plumbers' base, Khyber uploads footage of young Ben's encounter with a corrupted Mechomorph named Malware. In the past, Young Ben Tennyson faces Malware for the first time. Episode 5- Have I Got a Deal for You Ben meets an alien con-artist named Professor Blarney T. Hokestar whose miracle elixir is extracted from a small alien called a Screegit that is kept in his lab. When a Florauna activist named Pax convinces Ben to help him free the small alien from the Hokestar's lab, chaos ensues when the nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere turns the exposed Screegit into a giant, acid-spitting monster with Ben having to keep it from wrecking the city. Disc Two Episode 6- It Was Them Dr. Animo has escaped his Plumber prison, and Ben and Rook must track him down before he turns the world into his personal mutant ant farm. At the same time, Ben thinks that Dr. Animo has been sending Khyber's Pet Dog after him.

Episode 8- Hot Stretch Ben and Rook come across elastic hot-blooded aliens called the Kraaho who plan to activate a volcano with a fusion engine destroying the town of Bellwood in the process. Episode 9- Many Happy Returns Gwen and Kevin visit Bellwood during spring break, but the latter has an additional reason to visit as Kevin needs Ben to hide him from a Tetramand princess named Looma who intends to marry Kevin as part of a ritualistic courtship he entered for the wrong reasons. Things worsen when Looma's father Warlord Gar holds the world hostage to make sure his daughter is married. Episode 10- Gone Fishin' While fishing in Undertown with Ben, Max, and Rook, Magister Patelliday is kidnapped by pirates led by Captain Kork who rob ships and put them in giant glass bottles to sell them. They intend to devour Magister Patelliday. Any attempts at rescue are hard since they have a Krakken and a robot army of Mechaneers. Yet Ben, Rook, and Max are up for the challenge. Bonus Features Alien Reveal & Alien Database Overall, Ben 10: Omniverse is a very strong and fresh take on the franchise. And if the following story arches are as good as, or even better than, the first arch... I have a feeling we'll be getting quite a great series. My advice? Buy it. Definitely worth picking up. And the price, at $14.99, is pretty decent for ten episodes of a very entertaining series.

I received the DVDs of Ben 10 Omniverse on July 25, 2014. I look forward to seeing all episodes of Ben 10 Omniverse on DVD. This is one show I would like to see on TV for many years to come.

my son loves Ben 10. I don't like how they changed Kevin Eleven's appearance, but it was ok. A little confusing because they go back in time to show what Ben was like and then what he is currently like.

I stumbled onto this series. Now I'm buying everything Ben 10. He loves it. His 3yr old brother will watch with him.

I have a 4 year old who really enjoyed Ben's comic mishaps, as once again a kid becoming an alien superhero. I found the ultimate alien serious at times to be a little serious and even scary for my son, but Ben 10 omniverse ticks all the boxes.

My grandson loves this DVD in fact I watched it with him and enjoyed it too , worth the money

my son is a huge ben 10 fan and was not disappointed by the dvd. will have to get part2

I pretty much like every Ben 10 series I've ever seen, with Ben 10: Omniverse being my very favorite out of all of them. Well, I haven't seen that new Cartoon Network one that just came on. It didn't look as good to me but honestly I don't know yet if it is or not because I haven't watched any of it. So, please forgive my low star rating of just 2-stars in this review. The show overall gets 10-stars in my opinion. But, it's the ridiculous way that Warner Brothers has released this amazing show that gets only 2-stars, and that's being generous I think. And the reason for my severe disdain for the way Warner Brothers has handled releasing Ben 10: Omniverse is simple. It's because, like many Cartoon Network shows, they put out seasons of shows all broken up into "Volumes", instead a full and normal compete season release. They sometimes mix and match episodes, or the worst, they leave out tons of episodes in these dumb Volume releases. As far as I can currently see on Amazon, there are only 5 different DVDs available containing Ben 10: Omniverse content. Volumes 1-3 seem to contain the full 10 episodes from each of the respective first three seasons of the show. Though, I may even be mistaken about that with how foolishly Warner Brothers handles these DVDs. Then, volume 4 and 5 only contains five episodes a piece. So, if these were seasons 4 and 5 they are both cut in half for some unknown reason. Going off of watching, Ben 10: Omniverse, on Hulu, there are 8 full seasons of the show, totaling 80 episodes with 10 episodes for each individual season. Yet, Warner Brothers/Cartoon Network has thus far only released what appears to be a paltry 40 out of the entire 80 Omniverse episodes with these DVDs they sell. Why can they not just put out for sale one Ben 10: Omniverse box set on DVD or possibly even blu-ray. That contains the entire and complete series for us to buy?? I know I would buy this in an instant. I'd be willing to pay $30-$50 for it! And I can guarantee you that there are many other devoted Omniverse fans who would as well. It's just so frustrating the way Warner Brothers does these stupid "Volume" releases of popular cartoon shows. It's like their saying "Hey, you like this show?! Well, here's only half of it, enjoy! Oh, you'd like to pay us for the entire series? Well, we don't want your money, enjoy!" That's basically all I hear when I see these dumb "Volume" releases of their shows. But, again, my rating is for Warner Brothers alone. It's done in the futile hope that it will get their attention and they will finally give us the full and entire show to buy on Amazon. Because as I said, I absolutely love Ben 10: Omniverse. To me it's an incredible culmination of all of the great pieces of previous Ben 10s. But all rolled up into one amazing series. You get to see so many cool new aliens and old favorites. The writing is top notch I think. The animation and sound design is also phenomenal. Plus, there's a ton of Rath in it haha!. He is my absolute favorite character with how insane he is. It's just really unfortunate and infuriating to me that we aren't able to purchase the entire series. Maybe one day Warner Brothers will wake up and realize that there are lots of people like myself who would be willing to fork over good money for a complete series box set. Instead of having to settle for these incomplete and piecemeal volumes releases.

I RATE THIS BEN 10 it kept the grandson so happy.he watches over and over again. I will get another film

I love to spend time with my kids watching this show. They love it and so do I. It's great

Didn't notice that thi was a US import and none of my DVD players will play it
