Great watch, much cheaper than the physical blu-ray

This eerie tale about super-intelligent ants marks the feature film directorial debut of noted designer Saul Bass (Psycho). The story concerns two scientists who install themselves in an ant-proof dome full of computer equipment that interprets the ants' communications. When the men spread yellow poison over the area, annihilating millions of ants, the surviving ants find an antidote to the poison and, even stronger, they strike back.

    It now has the alternate (originally planned) ending added as an iTunes extra too.  It’s completely bonkers but I think it fits better with the story and explains some of the earlier stuff we see.  If the director was given a bit more free rein with the whole movie it would have been very unique. As it stands it’s a great but quite slow moving film where the interpretation of what is happening is a bit more hidden than originally planned.

    I watched this maybe when I was 8/9 years old, really late at night and it profoundly affected me. Perhaps it was the fact I was the only person awake, sleep-deprived and hadn't seen much like it before but it made me feel insane. Never seen it since, but will grab this and see if it takes me back! Thanks!

    The end third certainly, the rest is more science based and feels like the sci fi science films of the era, like The Andromeda Strain and Silent Running.

    the alternative ending, though, is enough to trip anyone out! (edited)

    A brilliant film but I hate streaming and prefer physical media.

    Just noticed it’s the same price for Amazon Prime Video.

    But does that have the alternate (proper) ending included?
