Title: Man vs. Nature.
Product review: Or is it The White Man vs. the Third World? Or Science vs. Nature? Whatever the theme, the movie, based on the short story Leiningen vs. The Ants by Carl Stephenson, takes 45 minutes before we even hear the word ant. Many people might see that as flaw but I see it as a sign of a good story - they spend half of the movie building up the characters before the ants come to bring them down. Charlton Heston plays the main character and the sexy Eleanor Parker plays his mail-order bride. Both are strong willed, with plans for the future and neither like to back down.When one adds a army of ants, 20 miles long and 2 miles wide, heading right for the plantation, you change the film from a pretty good one to a great one.
