* SpiritualSuccessor: Presumably completely unintentional, but this film is nevertheless a far more faithful adaptation of the Creator/HGWells story "The Empire of the Ants" than the "official" Creator/BertIGordon film.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The majority of the soundtrack, however, the standout has to be the unreleased final montage theme, composed by Stomu Yamashta.


Added DiffLines:

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome:
** The lighting, set design, and cinematography all combine to give the film a sprawling, truly hypnotic visual style.
** The ant footage is so expertly filmed and edited as to make it seem that the insects do indeed possess human intelligence.

* {{Squick}}: If you're an ant-phobe, the film is wall to wall this. Also, there are several unpleasant scenes of ants and small animals being brutally killed and eaten. Then there's that once scene where the ants hide out from the Yellow Poison by [[spoiler: burrowing into the body of one of the dead farmpeople and then crawl out from a hole in his hand.]]
