This film made incredible strides in macro-photography that are still used by documentary makers today. Story aside, this is ground-breaking cinematography.

[@thelegacyofgaming2928]

I'm gonna tell my children that this was the Chimera ant arc.

[@theleap2946]

I saw this as a kid and began a lifelong fear/hatred for ants. People were freaked out by ants back then. Heck, MacGyver even had a random episode where he had to stop a massive horde of ants!

[@lorifintel9784]

There was an old black and white movie with i believe Charlton Heston that freaked me out. They devoured people in seconds.

[@ChickensAndGardening]

The MacGyver episode was based on a short story "Leiningen Versus the Ants". I read it years ago in high school. Scary stuff.

[@b.9011]

I vaguely remember watching that episode! I recall that he was using a flamethrower at one point while standing atop a high wall.

[@MaximGhost]

The movie I saw back then as a kid that scared the bejeezus out of me was "The Food of The Gods" about giant rats. It had giant wasps too. I didn't learn until later that it was based on an H.G. Wells story.

[@vladdracul5072]

Thanks for watching this so that we didn't have to. It's standing out to me more and more that anti-plot armour and stupid decisions tend to kill characters in movies like this far more than the actual creatures do. The Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies were almost purely that.

Tremors is a great movie because all the characters make reasonable decisions and are mostly killed because the underground monsters are formidable opponents.

[@Furgettyu]

That movie was so genius.. - At the beginning they had easily knocked down the pillars. Then they forgot it how to and get cooked by the pillars. - After launching a 9/11 against the pillars, then a chemical attack to eliminate them, they finally said "square" to start a friendly conversation 🤪 - Why trying to kill the queen alone with a gas bottle when you have the US Air Force who is always there if hostile entities need to be bombed to 💩?🤷‍♂

[@IloveJellow]

So 1.. They couldn't go outside because they are literally outnumbered million to 1 2 Making an attempt is better than doing nothing at all. 3 So you expect him to message the military about an ant problem ? No one but them knows of their intelligent behavior.

[@Furgettyu]

@@IloveJellow 1. At 2:16 it seems they simply shoot off the top of the pillars from a distance, they not necessarily went out. 2. Can be said, but it's still ridiculous how they did it. They applied the classic wild western tactic: "shoot first, ask later" 🙃 3. It was a bit satiric, but after some deaths authorities need to investigate and realize what's going on. At that point James is the only one who could report it, but instead he launches a suicide attack with low chances for success.

[@dogman3362]

At the beginning they had no idea that the ants are that smart. They still perceived them as stupid bugs, and knocked down the pillars to see what they will do. After knocking down the pillars and having their base damaged from outside, they released chemicals for defense against whatever was attacking them. They said "square", because that is a super simple message, and it might help initiate communication. It does not have to be "a friendly conversation", enemies during war will still negotiate. Their power was fried by the ants, they could not use the radio, and therefore, no way to get the Air Force to bomb the ants. Besides, the bombing would probably take the humans out too, and why would they want to die too?
