Ben 10 Ultimate Alien features another incarnation of the extraterrestrial battling teen Ben Tennyson, who continues his fight with the help of a new device, the Ultimatrix, in this collection of 10 episodes from its debut season. Now 16 and a worldwide celebrity thanks to his adventures, the Ultimate Alien Ben finds a new enemy in Aggregor, a renegade alien bent on tracking down five monsters whose combined powers will make an unstoppable force. With the help of the Ultimatrix, which allows his alien forms to become bigger and stronger, and pals Gwen and Kevin, Ben attempts to head off the rampaging creatures before Aggregor can claim them for his own, while contending with robot foes ("Video Games"), the Forever Knights ("Duped," "Andreas' Fault"), and Captain Nemesis ("Hero Time"). The new wrinkles introduced to the Ben 10 formula with Ultimate Alien are mostly positive--the Ultimate versions of his alien forms are exciting, and the Aggregor plot line gives the show some dramatic heft and consistency. Making Ben an international celebrity feels a little silly, but most younger viewers probably won't balk at its addition. The two-disc set offers a text-based Alien Database with info on Ben's intergalactic foes, as well as a preview-cum-commercial for the Ben 10 Ultimate Alien video game. --Paul Gaita
