It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie is about a scientist who is about to save a small town from hordes of killer ants. Already from this it is possible to draw conclusions about the quality of the movie, i guess...In this movie no one say or do anything that is logical and reasonable. Already in the beginning this becomes clear when the main character Jim ask the helicopter-pilot if a volcano they see is active or not: "No it just burps once in a while"(!!) Well, that indeed means that it IS active.....Most things have already been said about this disaster but i guess my favorite scene is when the two police officers are at the farm and the farmer who live there have dug holes in the ground and poured gasoline into them to kill the ants, one of the cops fall into one of the pits and the other one runs over there and shout: "Don't use your gun, the place will blow up!" And what does he do? Well, then he just HAVE to do exactly that...After all, what good could it do to fire a gun in that situation at all...? And the worst thing is he already knew that there was gasoline there...Basically all scenes in the movie are of this intelligence. The solution to this whole thing is obviously to blow up a dam so the ants will drown but also the town will be flooded. There is absolutely NO logic in that decision, and consequently he also have to admit later: "I don't know if this did any good, i actually can't say that the problem is solved at all..." (uhu...) Plot, script, acting,... it doesn't get cheesier than this...the absurdities are heaped on top of each other non stop. I guess the kid should be given an Oscar just for being able to keep a straight face when he see the two main characters come rolling down the street on that mini-scooter.....Conclusion: This is the kind of movie where you start to suspect that the scriptwriters, the director etc. actually laugh among each other later about how many stupid things they could make stupid people say and do in front of a camera, kind of.....It isn't even so bad its good, it's even worse...

Worst. Movie. EVER!!Nothing much more to say really. Just bad. This is my personal opinion of course, and I really did try to see god things in it. I just couldn't find them.The plot stinks. The actors don't even try. The special effects are so bad they would make any decent grandma cry. The music has as much of a mood making in it as a fridge.My advice? DON'T BOTHER!!! Go rent or buy another movie. And if you're here to see if the TV movie of the night is for you, and it's called KILLER ANTS, then just turn off the TV and find a good book. Or go visit a friend.

This must be one of the funniest movies ever made. Everything about it is so stupid. The acting is hilarious. The protagonists have no idea what they are doing or saying. The dialogs don't mean nothing. The example:"they stroke here, here and here...do you see a pattern?""no""it's something we learned about the marabantu, they move clockwise in 30° angles" "you mean we're next?" "yes" "how much time do we have?" "24h, probably less...we have to kill their queen!""you mean we're next?" ...hahaha if that isn't hilarious I don't know what is. The action scenes are even worse. The ants are so un-scary. A bunch of little black plastic dots moving like Parkinson patients. The plot is....HAHAHAHAHAHA. Especially the scene where suddenly there is some kind of earthquake and then they blow up the pass. What the fck was that. If only there was a DVD release or a sequel.1/10 as a horror flick 9/10 as a comedy

"Marabunta" is a rather interesting killer creature film.**SPOILERS**Traveling to Alaska to do some fishing, Dr. Jim Conrad (Eric Lutes) and his friend begin finding all sorts of odd events. First, a private lake is drained of fish, then a moose is found stripped of skin, and then a human is found in the same condition. Sheriff Croy (Mitch Pileggi) is called over to investigate, and Jim and Bob stay to help out. While staying there, Jim strikes up a friendship with a local teacher, Laura, (Julia Campbell) and he also makes a startling discovery. He finds out that an army of ants is behind the local deaths. The ants attack first, causing Sheriff Croy to get the townspeople out of the area so they can together deal with the ants. With the town cleared, Jim and Laura go around the edges of town to find their home, and are attacked by the ants. Getting away in the nearby lake, Jim and Laura are able to report on the sheer size of the ants in the colony. Devising a last ditch plan, Croy and Jim are able to stop the ants from spreading to other towns.The Good News: This isn't a normal killer creature flick in that the killer creature is a horde of regular ants. There isn't any radioactively changed monster running amok, there isn't any space monster ripping people apart, and no genetically altered prehistoric dinosaur hunting people down. What makes the film work is that the monster is one that can be seen in everyone's backyard and that paranoia is put to maximum effect. The ant horde is pretty monstrous, and what is said about their off-screen kills is about as impressive as what happens on screen. We hear about a moose that two hunters identified as being tagged and then found two hours later completely stripped of skin. We see and also hear about a man skinned alive by the ants, so this has a bit more violence than most films of the type. It was also nice to see that the film put them in danger far more often than normal in these films. That also allows for more action than normal, and more action allows for the slow parts in the film to not standout as much as they should. To their credit, the film isn't slow for long parts. Most of the scenes are either explanations of the attacks or hunting down the threat. The ants are also identified a lot earlier than most similar films, and that eliminates the needless scientific studies to find the killer when the audience knows what it is from the first frame. The plan to kill the ants is also a pretty clever one that hasn't been used to too many films to stop an enemy in one of these films and I thought it was pretty effective.The Bad News: The film has many different scenes of the ants, but they are so obviously CGI that the distraction is so obvious, even three year-old will be able to tell the difference. They do behave like real ants, but their look isn't that real. What ever happened to the realistic CGI that is used in so many big movies that are made? CGI was supposed to make things look realistic that can't be captured in the real world, yet why are there so many different films where the CGI is so fake it becomes more distracting than the fake-ness of what is going on on-screen. This is a prime example of that.The Final Verdict: Obviously the ants are very poorly realized, but this is a pretty action packed story with more gore than you would expect. It is quite hard to find, but if you can, this is a good rental or at least a viewing on the Sci-Fi Channel, where it does pop up occasionally.Rated R: Graphic Violence, some Language, and a scene of children in danger.
