Review of Antz

For the first 10 minutes, Antz made me smile, sometimes laugh, and for the most part, was quite enjoyable. My doubts towards the usually mediocre Dreamworks had faded; but only for a little bit. The quality dropped just a wee bit after the first 10 minutes, but I was still enjoying myself. The film holds up for another 20 minutes, and then it's rarely amusing again.

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I thought I might as well check it out again. In fact, I saw the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released and, back then, it was a big event. Indeed, it was DreamWorks first CGI animated feature so the expectations were pretty high. Eventually, it didn't get much love but I always had a weak spot for th... read more

Loosely based on the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the setting for the story is an ant colony in Central Park in New York City, under the chronological timespan of 4 days. The protagonist (Woody Allen) is Z-4195, or "Z" for short, a neurotic and individualistic worker ant living in a wholly conformist society who longs for the opportunity to truly express himself. His friends include fel... read more

Description: DreamWorks and Pacific Data Images collaborated on this all computer-animated comedy-adventure about the ant angst of misfit worker ant, Z (voice of Woody Allen), who feels trapped by the conformist confines of his totalitarian ant civilization and eventually sets forth in search of Insectopia. After DreamWorks began animating Prince of Egypt June 1, 1995, the company launched Antz in Palo Alto a year later (5/20/96), the same month the DreamWorks/PDI partnership was announced. The screenplay by Chris and Paul Weitz and Todd Alcott has uncredited input by Woody Allen (who matched dialogue to fit his usual style of verbal deliver ... (more)

" First Viewing Viewing Date: May 1st Via: Binge Plot: A rather neurotic ant tries to break from his totalitarian society while trying to win the affection of the princess he loves. Rating: 7.0/10 Why Did I Watch It? This has been a pretty huge blind spot for many years. I wanted another short and sweet movie after Pirates, and I was reminded that this existed from an article that appeared on social media, and it was free on Binge."

Darth Brutus's Baadasssss Film Diary for 2021 (64 movies items)

"23.5. As a film this thing is very well written and surprisingly adult, but the outdated ugly animation and lifeless color palette suck all the life out of it. And for the love of god I still can't understand why they got Christopher Walken into this thing."
