For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I've "watched" this movie twice on SciFi Channel now. Both times I end up getting some badly needed household chores done around the condo, because this movie just doesn't hold your interest. It sounds like a compelling enough premise: genetically altered ants are transported into a city skyscraper and terrorize some unfortunate souls who got roped into weekend duty in the building's offices/lobby. It's just a very slow, suspense-less movie. And if it's going to be slow and suspense-less, you need interesting characters. These characters are as dull and lifeless as the movie. There aren't even any hot actresses (one of them is reasonably attractive). Finally, you can't even say this is a 2004 homage to the '50s cult classic "Them," because the ants are actually not really that big (about the size of a medium-sized dog). And since you never see more than three of them at a time, and they show no evidence of spitting poison or some other otherworldly power, you just feel like everyone in the movie ought to be able to beat the s*** out of these ants anyway and just go home.

I just watched this fine piece of entertainment and I must say that it's one of the best films that I have seen in a very long time. The premise is truly original. It features some great performances by veteran actors and even C. Thomas Howell! The special effects were truly mind-blowing and unique. It's so refreshing to see a movie without the use of CGI these days. I can't praise this film enough. Do yourself a favor and go see it. Earlier in the day I was contemplating suicide, but when I flipped to the Sci-Fi channel and started watching Glass Trap I remembered how great life really is. Glass Trap saved my life, it could save yours too. rofl

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* A bunch of people end up in a big skyscraper with a lot of giant ants. It's a Glass Trap. The ants are highly radioactive. This makes them cranky. They decide to attack anything that moves. The Dept. of Agriculture attempts to solve the bug problem by whipping out some SWAT team action on them. Swat? Get it? Swat the bugs? Pretty clever eh? I didn't even know the Dept of Agriculture had armed personnel. They're so secret "even the president doesn't know about them". They will attempt to kill the infestation as the people inside try to hold on and escape."Glass Trap" is a bad title for a pretty entertaining B-movie. I had no idea what this movie was about until I read the back of the video box. Deciding whether to rent a B-movie shouldn't have taken that long. You should know whether you want to see the movie the second you hear the title. I would have named the flick "Giant Rampaging Ants". It has a good ring to it.Anyway, I enjoyed "Glass Trap". Saying this movie is low budget is an understatement. Rubber ants, the size of a pug dog, charge after people and I was cheering. I'm glad this flick relied more on creature effects than CGI. It was fun watching the actors get pounced on by the rubber beasties. My favorite scene had a guy alone in an elevator getting into a wrestling match with the rubber ant. The ant sneaks up on him and pounces on his back. They're clever that way. The radioactivity made them more devious and stealth-like. How else to explain how a giant ant can sneak up on somebody in a tiny elevator?If you like creature features and low budget wackiness, you'll get into "Glass Trap". Ants attack, women scream, and blood splatters. I had a good time.

This would be an amazing film in the -50's But nowadays, this is one heck of a bad movie. Like , OK, there are Huge Human eating Ants, and the people in the movie just say, OK, that is a big ant, and they don't get upset as they or I should be if i was in a situation like that. Its like i see a tree that falls down, and i "ooooohhhh" a tree just fell down due to it was old and dead. Emotions in this film is blown away. and when the ""SWAT"" team arrives, a full 4-5 people command line arrives to the place where the ants are bugging people, they simply comes up with the idea to Blow the skyscrape up... Like if 4 people had that power to do so.. Don't go see this movie, unless you are 90+ years of age and haven't seen a film in 50 years.Cheers
