Against the Hive Masters

0V3RB34R wrote:I liked the movie in a B-monster-popcorn-flick kinda way. For those who didn't see it, I'll break it down for you:

Entomologist Amelia Patterson discoveres a process to mutate humans into ant like creatures while assistant Otto Von Bach comes up with a method to enlarge existing ant creatures. The pair are fired from Genetic Futures and vow revenge on their former employers using the processes they pioneered.

They kidnap their former employer Britney Dover (Amanda Lockhart AKA Euphoria) along with other former coworkers and hold them for ransom.

Britney's Husband hires a group of Shadowrunners to rescue his wife. The leader of the team is Rya (Lessie Assi) a young-but-tough Street Samurai with a heart of gold looking to make a name for herself.

The Runner team follows various leads, including using sorcery to find Britney and encounter strange alien ant-like creatures. The story culminates in a battle in an underground complex where Patterson and Von Bach have created their own twisted Hive. There's this epic fight sequence in Shaky-cam where Rya and her team battle through the hive guns blazing and rescue Britney and the others from becoming ant creatures themselves.

Somebody plants and a bomb and the whole assemblage runs as the place goes up in a mushroom cloud.

So, y'know, not the most enlightening faire... but a good action movie with a decent cast. Though I find it odd that Megamedia would relegate their nova-hot simstar Euphoria to a back-up role. Why use an almost complete unknown (Assi) as the star is beyond me.
