Yeah, I just watched it last night and I also caught it during the first season of MST3K back on KMTA23.
What I remembered was that the MST3k was really dull and I lost all credibility with friends that the show was genius. Of course I was in junior high!
On re-watch, its a pretty good cerebral sci-fi, not a lot of action but big ideas occurring. Kind of like Colossus: The Forbin Project, but with ants. Lots and lots of close-ups of ants!
The scientist who learned to communicate with the ants seemed to develop a version of LOGO which I used as a 6th grader to learn geometry, math, and computer science. Kind of cool!
Too bad I had nightmares of being pursued by ants after watching!
