Amazing facts from in-depth studies of the species. As mentioned in other reviews, the music is quite good, but I don't recommend eating while watching, as some of the subject matter is downright disgusting. One side of me thinks that it is great that these scientists have discovered so much about these tiny creatures, but another side of me resents the way the scientists have disturbed and destroyed their homes or relocated them to labs. It's just another form of fishing or hunting or raising livestock for food - what man does to other creatures for his own benefit - it simply galls me. But if you have ever dealt with carpenter ants or termites in your home, it's not easy to overlook the harm they can subject us to, so I'll accept what the scientists had to do to make this film.

A very thoughtful and well made look at numerous ant species and their societies, with a well done soundtrack and a commentator who repeatedly refers to the ants as aliens... how could you go wrong?Very good, very well done and it made me feel guilty for stepping on the occasional little critter.

First off, I grow oh so tired of hearing the same, sad arguments about god on every freaking science video or scientific subject matter. Let talk about the subject matter at hand instead. Please?Well, I've seen this documentary before, and I must say it gets a freaking 12/10 for its amazing narratives, explanations, and high production value. And OMG, the music was praise worthy! It was beautiful and graceful and yet haunting and mysterious at the same time. I can't explain the feeling it gave me, but it really added to the whole "narrative" about ants. I MUST find the composer, and I DEMAND more documentaries of this nature lol.I am satisfied :)

Ants are the ultimate cooperative species and this documentary covers them surprisingly well. With all of the documentaries about Africa's big cats, this was a breath of fresh air and much better than all of them. I have to wonder if humanity will become more Ant-like, especially if we escape this planet and separate communities have to compete?

Fascinating subject and information, and wonderful photography.I felt that he narrative jumped around between subjects a bit much. But that's a minor complaint.
