Synopsis:

Experience the second live action Ben 10 movie with a slightly toned down Max, less jump cuts, and a small hint that foreshadows Elena's involvement in Ben 10: Ultimate Alien.

Intentions:

Looking back at my edit of Ben 10: Race Against Time, I decided to start tackling on Alien Swarm for the fun of it. This movie was a much better improvement compared to its predecessor. But I thought it would still benefit with a little tweaking.

Change List:

- Applied color correction to the movie to resemble the same look as Alien Force and Ultimate Alien. - Trimmed Kevin heading to the abandoned factory after the opening title for pacing. - Trimmed Elena and the dealers arriving for pacing. - The chips aren't revealed to be alien technology until Kevin asks what it does. - Moved Fitzz turning around before Gwen shows up so both her and Ben appear in a uninterrupted shot. - Removed Elena stating she's not like the rest of the team. - Cut Ben warning Gwen about the incoming chips and her unnecessary backflip. - Removed Kevin saying "I know someone who can." - Trimmed the dealers crashing out of the building when they escape. - Removed Ben saying "Ready or not." - Cut Ben wanting to use Spidermonkey so his transformation into Big Chill is intentional. - Added the Omnitrix transformation sound effect from Alien Force when Ben chooses an alien. - Removed the overly dramatic sequence of the chips heading towards Gwen so that when Victor throws them towards her, the scene cuts to her jumping away from them. - Removed the Plumber computer giving out information about the chips so it isn't repeated when Gwen says the same thing. - Reduced Max being aggressive towards Elena after she is found inside his office. - Removed Max and Ben lines about the decision to stay away from Elena. - Replaced the quick overhead shot of the city when Kevin begins to break the code with stock footage that has less movement. - Trimmed Ben and Elena heading to Victor's lab for pacing. - Removed moments showing Victor and the rest of the infected when Ben and Elena enter his building. Kept the ringing to maintain the fact that they are being watched. - Ben doesn't refer to the infected arriving as a trap from Elena. - Elena doesn't punch one of the infected as she and Ben escape. - Removed Max accusing Victor of selling the chips and being a liar. - The color of Gwen's mana is fixed when she checks to see if the chips were at the distribution center. - Trimmed the chase between Kevin's car and the chips for pacing. - Removed a frame of black screen when Ben transforms into Humungousaur. - Trimmed the Humungousaur fight for pacing by removing a couple of shots and the exchange between Gwen, Kevin, and Elena. - Removed Max wanting Elena in the brig. - Removed Max telling everyone what to do with the exception of Elena after Ben says they have to find the queen. Finding the queen is everyone's priority. - Removed Max saying he doesn't want Elena going two feet without an escort. - Cut Ben telling everyone to move. - Removed Kevin saying Max is restrained after knocking him out. - Removed Kevin joking about Max's big jobs. - Kevin doesn't correct Gwen on what to call a car. - Removed Ed mentioning any weapons or defenses for Ben's car. - Ben doesn't go back on his small army statement when taking a closer look at the distribution center. - Cut the infected dropping one of the crates and Kevin's following joke. - Removed Ben's expository line about how many people there are on Earth. - Removed Elena saying no after the revelation about Victor. - Removed shots of Kevin that were in the middle of Elena's fight with the infected. - Removed Gwen, Kevin, and Elena standing around doing nothing while they are surrounded. - To foreshadow her involvement in Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Elena's eyes briefly glow when Max apologizes to Victor. - The Ben 10: Alien Force theme plays near the end of the credits.
