    I rented this movie hoping it would be good and the movie was awesome. Although there were some things that I thought were really cruel, first a girl had a hurt ankle and she called to her boyfriend for help, and her boyfriend saw her and saw an ant was after her so he just let the girl be killed by the ants when he could've just carried her away from the ants. And an old couple were hiding in a shelter then they got out thinking they were safe but they were surrounded by mutated ants and probably died off screen, but it still hurt my feelings. They really shouldn't have made this movie PG. This movie also has really violent deaths, and if you are emotional or easily scared then don't watch this. If you're a horror fan like me then go ahead.

    The movie was allright when i saw it on tv, not that many people died, especiallly i would have had the army take care of some dirty rotten neuclear waste no good for nothin ants, but who would want to dump tons of neuclear waste down by an area where ants are when people didnt even know about then, especially i wonder who's fault it was to dump that waste down in that area. but it was okay.
