I've been shocked at how well this movie has made it through the critics. Based on their comments, you'd think we've got another Toy Story or Finding Nemo. But the reality is, it's far from it. Have we gotten to a point where the eye candy of the computer animation outweighs the story, characters, and dialogue? If so, it's a sad day.I'm not saying the movie was horrible, because it wasn't. It was just poorly voice-acted and the story was Honey I Shrunk the Kids meets A Bug's Life, not two movies I would put at the top of any list. To me, this movie will be forgotten quicker a thought that enters the mind of the guy from Momento.
Overall, mildly entertaining and some fun use of perspective. Annoying overuse of strong character traights like independance and strong-will as an emotinal offset to the cruel world. I would have rather seem the ants grow large and destroy the boy's home. That would have been a good spin on the shrunken human concept.
Rating: 5.5 out of 10
