What a coincidence! Sounds interesting. Probably a collectors item.
Phase IV (1974)
5/10
A sci-fi story about outsmarting evolving ants.
This film's story is a bit slow and plodding with shallow characters. It has a rather surfacy commitment to the sci-fi, in that there's science equipment applied to observing and interacting with the ants, but it's lacking in detail and follow up with any topic presented. There's an implied chess match between the human group and ants; and if the story had dove into that with some detail and suspense, the theme and sets could have provided for a nifty sci-fi thriller, but there was no such devotion.
There's some nice closeup, micro photography of ants, and some artful cinematography.
