Periodic moments of good special effects are separated by reels of dramatic banality as players flounder in flimsy dialog and under sluggish direction.

It's all drastically boring.

The movie swarmed into local theaters yesterday; unfortunately, the insects and the people in this mlange of ersatz science-fiction and dull adventure deserve one another.

Once the attacks begin, the film grows slightly more interesting, if only because of the curious combination of monster effects.

Audience Reviews for Empire of the Ants

Jan 24, 2018The audio in Empire of the Ants is infuriating to the point of being nigh unwatchable. But on mute? By jingo you might just be onto something there.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Jan 30, 2013Underrated B horror right here, I mean I expected more from the critics and audience alike. The cheap special greenscreen effects, were hysterical. The best part of the movie. Some of the supporting roles were pretty damn good, like the old couple. The plot is an inside job mission to let giant ants take control of the city. The concluding scene to wrap up the story was cheap and epic. An entertaining treat. One of the movies that's so bad, it's good. A new guilty pleasure of mine.Daniel D Super Reviewer

May 22, 2011Very poorly made, obvious allusions to Jaws, and a cast of unlikable characters. This is a really silly one that gets on your nerves a lot of the time because of the sound the creatures. There are some parts of it that make you laugh out loud with its awfulness, but that doesn't make this one a must-see, craptastic movie.Tim S Super Reviewer
