The Hive

What is worse than millions of ants that swarm together and are able to communicate and make their own little computer?  I'll tell you what's worse.  One that gets in the ear of Tom Wopat and drives him crazy.  That's what.

If you want a far fetched movie with wretched acting and a horrible ending, have I got a movie for you.

The ants on this island have begun terrorising the people.  Attacking their victims and reducing them to skeletons, in an effort to take over the island.  Due to the size of the swarms, a gallon on gasoline and a couple of matches is not going to be enough to take these ants out.  There are hundreds of millions of them.

Call in Team Thorax.  They are like the industrial insect killers of the world.  They have these real cool laser guns that destroy thousands of ants with each blast.  But the ants are clever and lay traps for the people with the guns.

The best part is when the Minister of the Island tells the people in the situation room, "We will not negotiate with ants."  I loved that line.  So profound.

Bottom line is this, the ants have become intelligent due to some alien ant.  They want the island as their own and even though Tom Wopat has an ant in his ear that is partially controlling his judgement, Tom Wopat uses some sort of bomb to kill the ants and send that alien ant packing.

This movie is so awful.  A great B movie by B movie standards, but just so hard to watch.  I know that you have to accept a lot of things when watching these types of movies, but to consider ants making a bio-network computer was one of the hardest to swallow.  Give me a break.

I give this movie 0 out of 5 plantations.
