... View MoreA rather neurotic ant tries to break from his totalitarian society while trying to win the affection of the princess he loves. Antz (1998) is a film that i haven't seen in probably a decade now but it's still a film that i remember from my childhood and now after all this years i got to see it and review it for you people and personally i still think it's a pretty good film and it holds up really well it's not perfect of course but it's still a really good movie. And it all has to do with the voice cast i mean you have some pretty talented people behind those ants such as Sylvester Stallone who in my opinion is the real mega star of this film, Sharon Stone as Princess Bala who does a pretty good job, Christopher Walken who is great as always, Gene Hackman as a mad General, Dan Aykroyd, Jennifer Lopez, Danny Glover and Woody Allen who i really don't like as an actor but i will give him credit he did a pretty good job here. The animation is good, the acting is good but where the film kinda looses it's focus is within it's story i think that the adventure of Z and Bala in the outside world could have lasted much longer and the film kinda has a very weird ending and i didn't feel that any stakes were high but in the end this is still a pretty good 90's animation with some really good performances by a very talented cast of actors. (9/10)
... View MoreThe first strength of this film is that it features Woody Allen in the principle role. The ant he plays delivers the self absorbed and fearful lines that Woody delivers in each of the films he is in. Here he plays an ant who is part of the collective. He realizes his only significance is a cog in the the machine that, for all practical purposes, reproduces itself but never evolves. He meets a female ant and the two have similar issues. There are all the expected pitfalls, and they make their respective ways toward a kind of utopia for crawly things. This is really quite delightful. I believe it came out close to the time "A Bug's Life" did.
... View MoreWhat do you get when you have an all-star cast (Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, etc.), an original concept by DreamWorks Animation and some of the funniest moments in film history? If you say "Antz", you are positively correct. "Antz" is one of the movies I actually grew up with. When I was real young, I remember having the VHS of the film and I used to watch it every single time.Now, 16 years later, "Antz" is still part of my childhood, behind "Peanuts" and "Looney Tunes". I still love this movie from this day forward, besides Pixar's "A Bug's Life", which that movie and "Antz" are compared back in the day.That lead into a feud between DreamWorks and Pixar. No joke. Anyways, this movie is outstanding and funny in every single way. My brother hasn't seen it, but we have seen it just last night.Overall, I'm giving "Antz" a 10 out of 10. It deserved it.
... View MoreThis is not a kids movie. I hesitate to even call it a family movie. I think that an adult would get more out of the movie. It's about the structure of society and it also discusses the subject of war and it's quite a lot of death in the movie. It also explores individualism. The voice work is great but what else can you expect from Hollywood legends like Christopher Walken and Sylvester Stallone. The stand out being the great Gene Hackman as the villain. It is not a movie you should show your kid they will either be bored or confused. Many of the jokes will also go over the children's heads. But that doesn't mean this is a bad movie. It a very good movie smart and well-written. Chris Weitz, Paul Weitz and Todd Alcott has done a good job and Antz is well-made.But don't bother to show this movie to your kids and if your kids doesn't speak English or can't read subtitles really don't bother to showing this movie to your kids half of the fun comes from the celebrity voices.
