Review of The Ant Bully (2006) by Bo K — 20 Jun 2008

They called me mad when I propheized someday all movies would be about talking ants. Who's mad now?

'Ant Bully' is a very engrossing visual experience, something doubly impressed upon me by the fact I was watching it outside of it's intended specs â?? IMAX 3D. Short of the character designs (for which couldn't care for any less), Bully's has its best face forward. Troubling though was the script, loaded with odd, cheap, and confusing notes. Why ant wizards? What of the strange religious undertones, from insect prophets to devil exterminator? Why so much poop eating? Why the dick biting? Too many cooks in the kitchen, or perhaps too few with unsafe ideas (in the good way, not the dick biting way) assassinated Ant Bully before it ever even made it out of the planning phase.
