A scientist enlists the help of the US army to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her father, deep in the Belizean jungle. Caught in the crossfire between a brutal guerrilla army controlled by a mystical warlord, they are also confronted by an even bigger terror giant mutated wasps that are, for some reason, thirsty for blood.

Redundant and unnecessary.
best movie i've ever seen.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The entomologist Gina Humphries (Dominika Juillet) travels to Central America with her best friend and also entomologist Rhonda Guiterrez (Nikolette Noel) with a hidden agenda: she expects to find her father, the scientist Dr. Humphries (David Stasko) that vanished in the jungle. When an acquaintance finds his backpack with a footage inside, Gina discloses her intention to Rhonda and they travel to search for her father. They drive a Jeep and Gina convinces the military John Hammond (Corin Nemec) to help them in their search with his team. Along their journey, they fight against the drug dealer and voodoo sorcerer Jaguar (Gildon Roland). But soon they discover that in the spot there are huge mutant dragon wasps that spit fire but Gina expects to find her father alive.The lame and corny "Dragon Wasps" is among the worst movies I have seen. The moronic storyline is awful; the acting and dialogs do not exist; and the CGI is ridiculous. It is laughable to see the two wooden scientists wearing shorts in a tropical jungle (and they are not hot). The lines and the attitude of Corin Nemec are idiotic. Hammond seeks out the drug dealer that he and his team have battled a couple of hours ago to ask him to help his pal. He drinks the spirits with drugs offered by his enemy. He lets the soldier shoot the drug dealers with his men tied to a wall to be fusilladed by the criminals. He sacrifices his life to try to save one man that might be dead in the hive. There are so many stupidities in this movie that I would spend too much time and space to list all of them. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): "Terror Tropical" ("Tropical Terror")
When i watched this, i was amazed at how "so much was done with obviously so little money". My companion and i thought that it would be a good movie with awesome affects but not surprisingly... It was not! We first saw this movie name and looked it up and found out it was directed by Joe Knee, Who is now known to us as "Joe's Knee." Once you see this movie, you will understand why. This movie did not take an arrow to just Joe's knee, it took multiple arrows to the face and even more to the brain. If you are in a zombie apocalypse and out of AMMO, just show the Zombies this movie, THEY WILL DIE WHERE THEY STAND! FTC
Initially you already know what this movie will be like before you watch it, as it has low-budget monster movie written all over it. And on that aspect "Dragon Wasps" truly delivers. On all other aspects, not so much.The story in "Dragon Wasps" is fairly generic and straight forward for a movie of this caliber. A mysterious genetic research company has been experimenting with mutations and of course something has gone horribly wrong. A scientist has gone missing in the jungle, and his daughter and her best friend venture there to find him. They encounter some American soldiers who drop all they are doing to help the two civilians go looking for a single man in the vast jungle. Cannibal locals and giant, mutated wasps all prove to be in the way for their search and rescue mission.The effects in the movie were, well, laughable. Badly animated CGI wasps that looked anything but real. And to make matters even more 'interesting' then these wasps were able to breathe fire. Yeah, breathe fire, why not? But of course, the creature effects, as you might have guessed, is almost bound by law to be bad in these kind of movies. But moving on, there was a gun fight between the soldiers and the cannibals, where the American soldiers were pinned down at their truck. A lot of shots were fired and hit the truck, resulting in CGI animated sparks here and there, but get this, there were no bullet holes. I wonder what kind of dissolving bullets they were using.Let's move on to the acting. Most of the acting was half-hearted or even uninspiring, as if some of the people in the movie were just there because there was nothing else available. Much can be said for Corin Nemec, who both starred and co-produced this movie, but he actually did a fairly good acting job in this movie compared to some of the countless other movies he had been in.There isn't much to keep this movie afloat, and as such it becomes a rather boring and dull movie experience. There was a single moment where the movie shined, where one of the soldiers was making fun at Corin Nemec by mentioning some of the questionable movies he has been in. That was actually a great and funny moment. Always good with some self-irony!
The pain begins immediately. The two lead actresses, they're equally bad, deliver wooden, flat lines that Ben Stein would raise an eyebrow to. Neither are really beauty queens, so they're pretty screwed either way they go. Corin Nemec phoned this one in, as well. That, coming from the star of "Mansquito", was really not a surprise either.The whole plot? Well, it was just badly written, let's say. Military men behave a certain way, their actions in the movie, wasn't it. The CGI wasps were ridiculous and the mere fact that they could breathe fire was almost more than I could stand. The only good thing was that Cocaine, go figure, could dissuade them from attacking you. Right. Someone did some cocaine when they wrote this garbage.The whole voodoo/drug runner subplot was laughable. Yeah...you read it right. Let that sink in...voodoo/drug runner. Starting to get the idea, aren't ya? The only reason this got a '1' was because I could not give it a zero. That's my review. Take it or leave it.
