Reviews

GiAnts, while ambitious in its concept, received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 3.9/10, indicating that viewers found it lacking in several aspects. Critics have pointed out the film’s over-the-top premise as both a strength and a detriment; as one review on Rotten Tomatoes stated, 'GiAnts is a wild concept not fully realized.' Some viewers have noted the film's low budget, leading to less than stellar special effects and production value. However, there have been praises for the film's campy charm, with one reviewer commenting, 'If you like films that are so bad they're good, GiAnts is certainly entertaining.' Metacritic scores echo this sentiment with a low overall score but highlight specific moments of humor and creativity that some fans appreciate. The performances, particularly by Mel Novak, have drawn attention; while noting the limitations of the script, some fans enjoy the effort put forth by the cast. Overall, GiAnts stands as a divisive entry in the creature feature genre, appealing more to those who appreciate the charm of oddball cinema rather than conventional horror fans.
