The editing is guaranteed to make you confused, and the poor camera work is often hilarious. There are lots of ants in this movie, and it doesn't muck around until it reaches it's annoying mid section, where the narrative seems to get bogged. It's laughable, while not intentionally funny, but it is on the line of just plain terrible.
There's a guy with an ant in his brain who flinches 'involuntarily' and starts to go quietly crazy - oddly this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the rest of the ants in the movie; it's just a rogue ant biting brain bits when it feels like it. You'll be confused.
Somewhat redeeming is some of the aliens + ants concepts flying around. An alien is controlling the ants, which sometimes become a physical extension of the alien form - forming tentacles, and even a computer matrix cube thing with electricity pulsing inside. It's cool, and makes you unhappy that the rest of the film isn't.
Watch with beer, and keep a finger near the fast-forward button.
