Cineclub-Filmkritik
Z-4195 ist eine gewöhnliche Arbeiterameise. Er ist mit zigtausend anderen Ameisen mit dem Bau des Megatunnels beschäftigt, der der Erweiterung der Ameisenkolonie dienen soll.
Als er sich in die Ameisenprinzessin Bala verliebt, tauscht er mit einer ...read the complete Antz movie review at Cineclub-Filmkritik
Plugged In
Antz stars Woody Allen as the voice of Z, a neurotic worker ant with an identity crisis. He feels small and insignificant. Of course, who wouldn't as the middle child in a family of 5 million? Meanwhile, the colony's princess is equally frustrated with ...read the complete Antz movie review at Plugged In
CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Alberto Cassani)
C’era un solo uomo al mondo che avrebbe potuto interpretare la parte di una formica nevrotica in cura dall'analista. Il nome, ovviamente, è Woody Allen. Non è un caso che sia stato proprio lui a prestare la voce alla coraggiosa formichina ...read the complete Antz movie review at CineFile : il Cinema in Rete (Alberto Cassani)
Washington Post (Rita Kempley)
Sorry, Antz has no show-stopping song and dance numbers, no catchy melodies and no love songs either. The score, made up of old standards, does, however, enhance one of the movie's wittier episodes. ...read the complete Antz movie review at Washington Post (Rita Kempley)

Adults also are more likely than kids to snicker at jokes. ...read the complete Antz movie review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)
The Boston Phoenix
He's Z-4195 (Z for short), one of millions of worker ants in a colony beneath Central Park (indicated, in the film's witty opening shot, by a silhouetted Manhattan skyline whose skyscrapers turn out to be blades of grass seen from an ant's-eye view). The ...read the complete Antz movie review at The Boston Phoenix
Film Threat (Chris Gore)
Succeeds at pushing the technology as well as and offering intelligent family fare that won't leave adults bored. Great fun. ...read the complete Antz movie review at Film Threat (Chris Gore)
Ivo's Filmrecensies (Ivo Jansch)
Antz is een volledig met de computer gemaakte animatiefilm over mieren. Het gaat over Z, een eigenwijze mier die het zat is om voor de kolonie te werken, en besluit om samen met de mierenprinses te vluchten naar insectopia. Insectopia is het paradijs ...read the complete Antz movie review at Ivo's Filmrecensies (Ivo Jansch)

Sneak Review - Der Kinokult im Saarland
Für eine gewöhnliche Ameise gibt es genau zwei Möglichkeiten, die sie im Leben hat: entweder sie wird ein Soldat oder ein Arbeiter. Das soll wirklich alles sein? Die Ameise "Z" zweifelt an dieser Vorstellung und damit auch am (politischen) System des ...read the complete Antz movie review at Sneak Review - Der Kinokult im Saarland
Movie Mom's review
The technological mastery and all-star cast all but obscure the one real problem of this movie -- it does not know who its audience is. The computer animation -- and the ad campaign -- suggest that it is directed toward the audience of its predecessor in ...read the complete Antz movie review at Movie Mom's review
Nitrate Online (Eddie Cockrell)
First seen in analysis (complaining of his fate as "a middle child in a family of five million," he's told by shrink Paul Mazursky, "You ARE insignificant."), the suspiciously Woody Allen-ish Z dreams of a better place and a better life, a fantasy fueled ...read the complete Antz movie review at Nitrate Online (Eddie Cockrell)

Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene
Kljub svoji animirani naravi, Mravljinec Z (Antz, 1998) ni namenjena malim otrokom, ki malo bolj odraslega humorja (navsezadnje Z-ja govori Woody Allen) ne bodo razumeli. In ravno v tem je prednost Mravljinca Z. Ne zanaša se na ceneno formulo, ki jo ...read the complete Antz movie review at Megaklik - no nonsense movie reviews in Slovene

Teen Movie Critic (Vivian Rose)
Antz is a senseless cartoon that quickly became tiresome. The problem with cartoons is that you can't judge acting skills because you can only hear the voices - you can't see facial expressions, because they're computer animated. Not to mention that ...read the complete Antz movie review at Teen Movie Critic (Vivian Rose)
Steve Rhodes
As you were enjoying your last Woody Allen movie, did you sit there thinking that his angst-filled, raunchy brand of humor would be perfect for all ages if his language was just cleaned up a bit and he was made into a cartoon character? If so, then you ...read the complete Antz movie review at Steve Rhodes
Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
Brief enough, clocking in at 83 minutes, but its story is too predictable to make an impact even in such a short space. Unlike "Toy Story," the dialogue here, written by Todd Alcott and Chris & Paul Weitz, is pro forma all the way. ...read the complete Antz movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
Without a doubt, the animation is vibrant and electrifying; it's only the story that lacks. ...read the complete Antz movie review at Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)
Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
I suspect an account of all the complex business transactions would be more fun than anything in the movie, where you can't see a blue sky that isn't made up to resemble the Dreamworks logo. ...read the complete Antz movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
Mark O'Hara
One indicator of popular culture in Antz is the struggle of the individual. Z, voiced by Woody Allen, plays the worker ant in analysis - just one item of Allen's schtick carried over into this, his first appearance in animation. Despite his small stature ...read the complete Antz movie review at Mark O'Hara
