The DVD still gets 2 stars because the film deserves 5,
By A Customer
This review is from: Them! (Full Screen) (DVD)
I already had this movie on VHS and on Beta.I bought the DVD to get the"BEHIND -THE-SCENES ARCHIVE FOOTAGE MONTAGE ON THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF GIANT ANTS.Either they forgot to include it, as well as, the theatrical trailer and cast film highlights, or the interactive menus on this DVD are so bad it's impossible to access any of the special features besides scene selection and subtitles.And it's not that easy to get the last two to function either.Addendum to the above review:

This review is from: Them! (1954) (DVD)
I first saw this way back around the early to mid '70s on television. I remembered it but didn't see it again until a couple of years ago on TCM. Finally sat down to it in its entirety.On the face of it this sounds like it would be a typical hoary '50s sci-fi B flick. Well, maybe it was considered that because the premise is pretty B grade: giant ants mutated by lingering radiation from the first atomic test in New Mexico in 1945. But I think this is a rather polished piece of film making that's decently written and well acted. Sure the ants themselves look dated by today's standards, but they still manage to tell a good and effective story because they treat the subject matter totally straight. And I couldn't help but sense elements of the later Alien movies in this, particularly the second film Aliens. And to boot a solid cast of James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn and James Arness. This is a good one and I quite like it.

"That ant hole is no place for a woman!",

This review is from: Them! (1954) (DVD)
A little girl is found wandering in the desert, the sole survivor of her family, and the only word she can say is, "Them!" A local police officer (James Whitmore) and an FBI agent (James Arness) investigate the mystery with the help of a lovely scientist (Joan Weldon).One of the best of the fifties sci-fi movies, "Them" has a good cast, a serious and at times, even educational tone to the script, and giant ants that are usually half-hidden in the dark. (Just as well, because they're pretty lame by today's standards, but still fun for nostalgia-fans.) It's wholesome entertainment that would only scare small children these days, but those who love the genre will appreciate the sincere and solemn characters who risk their lives to save mankind from atom bomb-mutated bugs. A simple story with good acting that is still entertaining.
