Destination: Infestation (2007)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

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

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

ants on a plane snakes on plane snakes on a train, hmmm, what's next? plantanes on plane?I don't mind TV movies, and thought this was strange for to be on Lifetime (one of my guilty pleasures) but everything just felt a little too over the top. would they really not let the plane land? are ants actually scary? is saboto still doing underwear adds?some OK performances considering the material, but not enough to make me watch it again. if you like plane thrillers check out flightplan. if you don't like plane thrillers check out Airplane. if you don't like lifetime creature features, skip this one.there is still some fun to be had which is why i gave it a four. maybe I wasn't the target market for this.

I am not to tempted to write a review on this movie because I have a mixed feeling as to the ratings that I should give. Tempted to give it a very poor rating but it'll do justice to the movie, because even though I found it not worthy for an award, it does have a few good scenes in the movie. But give it a good rating will cause the reader to be misled as to the quality of the movie and in my taste in film.So I am trying my very best to give it an unbiased review and let fellow readers to make their own judgment.Alright, first things first. The premise of the story s not an original one. It is a rip-off of the 'Snake On the Plane' action flick starred by Samuel L. Jackson. Whilst Samuel has to fight off snakes, in this film, the passengers and the flight crews have to 'battle' the ants that somehow managed to infest the airplane.Since when do ants become parasites ? Well, the truth is that, I do not know, and I have absolutely no idea ! Maybe it is a new breed of aliens, disguising themselves as ants to avoid international hunt against their colonies. Hahahaha..There were scenes that is quite good. One of it the way the ants came out from the infected person's body and stomach. It was gross, which made it good. The way the drunken person acted in the movie was also believable, and one fell certainly happy to see how he got his lesson for being such a nuisance in the plane.However, as much as there were good scenes, this film is littered with lousy scenes. I would not write it, so you would have to watch it yourself. Suffer an hour and a half watching it, just like I did.All in all, this is a film in which the review may be different from one person than the other, as it is based on a person perspective. Some may like it, some may don't. As for me, it is good to watch it there is nothing left to watch, but otherwise, don't bother watching.

I thought Destination Infestation was a pretty good movie. But for a lifetime movie it didn't seem like it should of been on that station. This movie should of been on either Fearnet or a Svengoolie movie. As I said it was a pretty good movie but there were some parts in this movie that were too unbelievable. I know it's a fantasy or a fictional movie but ants coming out of someones chest and mouth? They ripped that off from Creepshow where the guy in the last story had cockroaches crawling out of him. I agree with another person that wrote a review of this movie who said the flight attendants acted poorly and didn't seem like they took their training seriously. I thought it was dumb that nobody would let the plane land anywhere because other airports thought the ants would cause a threat. And my biggest discovery about this movie is that the ants seemed animated. it seemed like when the ants were seen eating the wiring each shot looked the same and also when they showed the ants crawling in and out of the vents it looked the same all the time. Overall pretty good movie. Lots of suspense but too phony in some scenes with the ants.

My mother and I are fans of Lifetime movies, and so when we saw that this was on, we got all excited and settled in to watch it. The beginning was promising, if not a bit predictable. Now, my mom and I are lenient when it comes to Lifetime movies...we don't expect a masterpiece. We're just looking for a good time. However, this movie consistently failed to satisfy even the lowest of our low expectations. Problems? First off, when the mutant super-ants attacked the first passenger and then went crawling about the plane, the flight attendants just stood by idly, cowering in fear. How the heck did they pass their training? Secondly, when the pilots contacted the Miami air traffic controllers about their situation, the controller on duty did not take them seriously and even cut them off, saying he would "get back to them." What kind of air traffic controller would do that? Finally, once they found out about the ants, no airport would allow the plane to land. Completely unrealistic. Most air traffic controllers would go out of their way to *save* a plane, not just let it fly around until it runs out of fuel and crashes. Never mind that some of the ants would surely survive the crash and infest the area anyway. Oops...we let all those people die for nothing. Doh! Whoever made this movie must think we, the viewers, are stupid and can accept such an implausible plot. As I said earlier, I expect general stupidity and implausibility from Lifetime movies, but Destination: Infestation pushes my patience and makes Lifetime's other movies look like Academy Award winners.
