my jaw fell so many time watch this flick and i have bruise . okay and grant and i really wasn not expect the quality of and say and the others or even thirteen ghost ( the new one and which be just dreadful and be still head and shoulder above this insanity ) . someone else note the thin character . i wouldn not call them thin . thin implies there might be something to them . how about almost non existent . in no particular order we have represent the girl who will scream while the american who will figure it all out while the macho guy who will just bull through everything until he get kill represent the wise black man who will die early while the extra guy who be there to die first while the extra woman who be there to play tough . that it . that your character list and that be what they be and what they remain from begin to end . if they be thin they might and at least and change a little bit from begin to end . but they do not . well and okay and the american guy decide he go to stay with the fieldwork at the end and the scream girl go back to wherever she come from . that the change . other than that and they all act accord to their assign role and rarely betray any real emotion when they finally meet up with the menace . now and the producer get prop for an original menace and i will say . i have understand the story be go to be tremor but with ant instead of giant worm . i give the writer credit represent these be very cool and very scary ant and what they do with bone be excellent . ( the first time the bone snatcher appear and i admit i jump a few foot . ) unfortunately and the very cool concept become alien in the desert very quickly . we get a lot of commentary on ant that may or may not be true and but we do not get much of the mythology on which the menace be base . and we get every monster movie cliché ever make . people go into place they know they shouldn not and when they have no compelling reason to . moronic character try to hinder our hero and die for it . one character do double duty a scientist who doesn not want to kill the monster but study it . a very cool gadget be introduce only so the american can tell everyone something about ant that and gee and i hope everyone know anyway . then the gadget be break . our hero run out of the one thing that can keep the menace at bay . and then there be that final and annoy moment when we know the menace be still with u and wonder exactly what and how the hey the hero or heroine come by it . it completely render everything that go before a useless and false . three star for the cool use of ant and bone . nothing at all for clichés and clunky dialogue and dim bulb character .
