Vivid and visually stunning.

Here's one movie you'll want to see with an audience of squealing, excited, terrified kids, their arms extended greedily to grab, squish or ward off all things exoskeletal and beady-eyed. It's gross, but in the nicest way (meaning no roaches).

This 3-D Imax film puts you at eye level with awesome creatures that look like alien beasts from deep space.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
This otherwise sober film's high ick factor is clearly designed to convince restless students that entomology is extremely cool.

Kids will get off on Bugs! and then go home and have nightmares. Adults who accompany them may have to fight off sleep before they get home.
