Destination: Infestation

The first half of the movie was great. The second half seemed to be written by a feminist where men are idiots & deserve to be punished while women are good & brave. No wonder this movie was free.

Dr. Carrie Ross (Jessalyn Gilsig) is an entomologist on vacation with her daughter. They board a plane in Barranquilla, Columbia on the way to Miami. In the air, a passenger dies with bullet ants crawling out. Sky Marshal Ethan Hart (Antonio Sabato Jr.) takes charge with Ross's help. The ants start eating into the machinery and the plane is refused landing permission.

This came one year after the superior camp "Snakes on a Plane". My guess is that this was rushed into production to take advantage. The difference is that this isn't funny, or at least not intentionally funny. The story is kinda stupid in a million different ways. I hesitate to see anything with Antonio Sabato Jr. I do like Jessalyn Gilsig but she can't save this flight. It's on a crash course and Samuel L. Jackson is not coming to the rescue.

I am not to tempted to write a review on this movie because I have a mixed feeling as to the ratings that I should give. Tempted to give it a very poor rating but it'll do justice to the movie, because even though I found it not worthy for an award, it does have a few good scenes in the movie. But give it a good rating will cause the reader to be misled as to the quality of the movie and in my taste in film.

So I am trying my very best to give it an unbiased review and let fellow readers to make their own judgment.

Alright, first things first. The premise of the story s not an original one. It is a rip-off of the 'Snake On the Plane' action flick starred by Samuel L. Jackson. Whilst Samuel has to fight off snakes, in this film, the passengers and the flight crews have to 'battle' the ants that somehow managed to infest the airplane.

Since when do ants become parasites ? Well, the truth is that, I do not know, and I have absolutely no idea ! Maybe it is a new breed of aliens, disguising themselves as ants to avoid international hunt against their colonies. Hahahaha..

There were scenes that is quite good. One of it the way the ants came out from the infected person's body and stomach. It was gross, which made it good. The way the drunken person acted in the movie was also believable, and one fell certainly happy to see how he got his lesson for being such a nuisance in the plane.

However, as much as there were good scenes, this film is littered with lousy scenes. I would not write it, so you would have to watch it yourself. Suffer an hour and a half watching it, just like I did.

All in all, this is a film in which the review may be different from one person than the other, as it is based on a person perspective. Some may like it, some may don't. As for me, it is good to watch it there is nothing left to watch, but otherwise, don't bother watching.

Everyone loves a good mutant bug movie, however this was not that. This was clearly a lifetime movie. The lead woman being all things to all people, trying to save humanity while never messing her hair, etc. I have to admit that it made me laugh though. Not because it was funny, but because it was ridiculous.

Oh, my gawd what a bad movie. How Antonio Sabato Jr. has fallen. And of course Jessalyn Gilsig was never any good. But this movie? LOL! It isn't even so bad it's good. I started fast-forwarding through it and the 90 minutes still seemed like forever! There was at least a half-hour of stock footage and ants climbing around on writing and lots of bad specials. Terrible! Funny it was so bad instead of fun. Avoid at all costs! Even when it's free!
