Too much of everything

So much average

Just perfect...

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Bad, bad, bad. And worse! This flimsy piece of Sci-Fi wish-wash is so contemptuously awful, I could not suffer to watch it all. After forty minutes of mind-numbing banality, I was forced to switch it off. So where did it go wrong? My timer indicated 00:00:30. For a start the acting was so lame, in some scenes (notably the party scene,) not even a vet could have saved it. The CGI was quite possibly the worst set of special effects ever to have inflicted itself onto my screen. Perhaps if I'd watched it through a woolly sock after rubbing olbas oil into my eyeballs it might have looked half decent, but I'm not going to give it the satisfaction. The plot I can't really comment on as I was fortunate enough to stop it in its tracks. However, I can say that the first forty minutes that I did see must have been written on the back of a napkin, and then accidentally washed. The script must have been on the other side. It was so jam-packed with pointless rhetoric and hackneyed clichés that the six or seven lines that did try to drive the plot must have had delusions of adequacy. My verdict: Maybe this was meant for the ants to enjoy. That said, though, if I was an ant, I'd rather find a magnifying glass on a sunny day.

I'm giving this a 5 coz it did make me laugh out loud on a number of occasions.The basic plot, killer ants. It sounded like the kind of cheap sci-fi B-movie I like, so I though I would watch it. And I was entertained for all the wrong reasons.The acting was OK, not the worst I've seen, but I've seen a LOT better. The story was ridiculous! I mean, even to the point where; you know in Bond movies, how the bad guys does a plot exposition to Bond? Well, the 'ants' do this to the good guys of the movie...yes, the 'ants' actually tell the humans what they want! I'll not tell you how, but it is ridiculous! It made me laugh out loud.The direction was taken from the 'how to film every camera cliché in the book' school of filming.The end was really disappointing. They try to have a 'twist' ending, but it's more of a 'we couldn't be bothered to think of anything, so we'll resort to an obvious answer' ending. After I saw this, I read a review that said this film has 'credibility', lol, really, it's only credible if you've never seen the 'moving image' before. If you like B-movies, that make you laugh, then you will enjoy this. If you're looking for a sci-fi/horror/action film, then this isn't for you.

Tom Wopat is always fun to watch from a nostalgia aspect, and his part is very cool. At fist, though, you will wonder if the gray haired old guy really is him- it is. This movie is as other reviews have stated- much much better than what it should be. It's not gory or vulgar so the kids can watch it, but it's very entertaining for all. It's very worth a watch- better than a lot of big budget films. It's fun, if nothing else, and makes you feel satisfied, never bored. The pacing never leaves you wanting more (an aspect of the little screen I suppose). I've always thought the reason for a movie was to have fun, no matter if it's old 40's with no CG or all green screen. If it doesn't make you feel your time with the movie was worth it then it's no good, no matter what you paid for admission. This one rates.

This is a ridiculous albeit somewhat compelling low-budget effort at an "eco-disaster" movie. From the title you might imagine that it revolves around bees, but it is in fact about ant colonies which have developed advanced intelligence and super-powers as a result of alien intervention. The plot is mostly predictable although it does include some bizarre twists, the acting is mediocre and the special effects are not so special. That said, the premise is quite interesting - we know that ants communicate in some way and work together, but what if they got really clever? It is a mixture of "The Naked Jungle" (an oldie but goodie with Charlton Heston having to deal with "the marabunta") and "Phase IV", both of which are far better films.
