Just perfect...

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

An ensemble cast of characters board a plane in Columbia and try to go the United States not realising that one of them is a host to bullets ants . " What are bullet ants " I hear you ask . Apparently they're ants that have a sting so painful it's like being hit by a bullet and the pain lasts for 24 hours . I looked them up on the Wikipedia and this is correct . So correct in fact that the line of dialogue explaining what they are has been culled from the wiki word for word . The ensemble characters are a nondescript bunch with all the depth of a dried up puddle . You know the characters , female doctor who is a single mom to a cute kid , a couple of drunken college boys , selfish cowardly male and black air stewardess . No reason for her to be black except to hint the producers really wanted to get Pam Grier or Halle Berry in the role . One black character that is missing is funky black dude played by Samuel L Jackson but that might make you think you're watching ANTS ON A PLANE and this is a totally original movie not influenced in anyway with a film that came out the previous year so we won't be getting any dialogue like " We got mother effing ants on this mother effing plane " . No siree , we won't get reminded of other films and we won't be getting the F word and we won't getting to hear the word " About " either because most the cast are Canadians because it's so cheap to film there . By the way it's interesting the way internal continuity is changed where it suits the story . Despite being told that these are according to Wikipedia " bullet ants " feared for their painful debilitating sting they're mutated bullet ants which means if a likable character gets attacked by swarming ants their stings have little effect while if they attack an unlikable character they suffer an agonising death . Since when did ants become a good judge of character ?

Why do they even try and make these kind of movies? I turned this movie on expecting a cheesy, stupid movie about killer ants-it was even worse. The acting was atrocious, these people were incredibly unrealistic, and I simply hated the movie altogether.I turned it off halfway through because of the astonishing awfulness of this movie simply stunned me. It wasn't suspenseful, or scary, or dramatic, it's hardly even a film at all. It rates up there with 'Absolute Zero' as one of the worst TV movies I've ever seen (which is horrible--I've seen A LOT of bad TV movies).I like Jessalyn Gilsig in 'Heroes', and she was another reason I decided to turn this on. Even she was horrible. I didn't expect much from Antonio Sabato, Jr., as many fans of the sci-fi channel will understand.So, a 1/10. I can't stand the thought of watching another movie like this again. Ugh. *Starts puking*0/4

Having nothing better to do on a weekend afternoon, I thought I'd get a few laughs out of Destination: Infestation assuming that it would be cheesy and unintentionally funny. The first mistake I made was thinking I had nothing better to do. Starring at a blank wall for an hour and a half would have been more enjoyable. Secondly, the movie tried to be serious. If you're going to make "Ants on a Plane" or "Destination: Infestation" and it's going to be airing on the Lifetime Movie Network you have to realize that it's not going to be recognized for anything special. This movie is quite simply painful to watch. Some humor would have been a VERY good addition.I'll sit through an Ed Wood marathon before even trying to muster the courage that is required to watch Destination: Infestation. Avoid this movie at ALL costs.

If you were expecting an award winning film, you were probably disappointed. I enjoyed the film as a whole. I thought it was an interesting take on something that has obviously been done already. The acting was either good or terrible. I think Jessalyn Gilsig has proved she can be a lead actress ANSI hope people start to see this. She's used far to little on Nip/Tuck and Heroes. I'm not Usually a fan of Antonia Sabato Jr. but found him to have done a good job in this film. The Pilot did fine too. The daughter was kind of wooden and some of the other passengers and and the male Flight attendant were to clichéd and over the top. If anything, the one thing that disappointed me the most was that it sorta took itself to seriously. I guess I was hoping for it to be a little bit Cheesier. Something more Sci FI channel movie of the week Cheesy. But overall I thought it was enjoyable.
