Shot on location in the Borneo rainforest, Bugs! brings the beautiful and dangerous universe of its tiny stars up close and personal with cutting-edge technology that magnifies them up to 250,000 times their normal size. Don't miss this unforgettable, stunning film that reveals the dramatic, savage and awe-inspiring lives of these fascinating creatures.

Awesome miniature world
Awesome filmage. The life of insects is really fascinating and vital for the survival of rest of the living creatures on earth. Magnificent close-ups and time-lap photography. For bug lovers a really nice addition to the collection. The down side is, that the documentary is damn too short. Only 38 minutes. Product information says 40 minutes, yes, only if you count the end credits as part of the total lenght. Many scenes are staged and digital effects have been added. However, it has been well done, it is very realistic and the "making of" section is informative and interesting. The overall impression is that this documentary is worth the price. Although, Microcosmos, Genesis and Life in the Undergrowth are MUCH better.

Great bug movie!
First, the info on Tivo for this movie was incorrect (the info was for Bugs! a violent sci fi movie) and after an initial shock, we were relieved that we had the correct movie.

This is a well-done documentary, originally made for IMAX and made for BIG screens, narrated by Judi Dench giving much information about insects in the rainforest and centering on the lives of a butterfly and a praying mantis.

My 6-year-old son did well watching it and enjoyed it, although he did start commenting on how long the movie was at about 33 minutes of the 40 minutes run time. Admittedly, the movie was a little slow at some parts for a 6-year-old (and a 43-year-old), focusing on panoramic vistas and insect reproduction, but overall enjoyable.

One caution: do not plan on eating anytime after the movie ....

Wow, eye popping
Our whole family, my girls(2 and 3yrs), my wife and I love it, didn't expect to enjoy it this much. Wish we could see it in the original 3-D. It is obvious that they put a lot of effort into this, details. details details, all blown up to see up close. Makes you want to got to your own back yard to see what is living in the weeds. The extras are full of even more cool footage and stories. Buy it, otherwise, it's going to bug you!

Alright
The bugs were huge, kind of scared my 2 year old. My bug loving kids were very excited to watch this but they got bored about 10 minutes into this show. I found it interesting, but it didn't impress my 2 and 6 year old

bugs
One of the best bug dvd s I have seen. Several of my friends have also viewed my copy and every one, bug lover or not, thinks it is great. several even commented on the narration being so clear. I loved it absolutely. Such wonderful photography.
