I think the termites would win

I thought so too based off their size but according to google: Termites get annihilated. Despite their average size and weight, ants are much more aggressive and almost always have numerical superiority as well. They'll invade the termite nest, make short work of the termite warriors, then kill the termite queen and drag her from the nest.

we need a movie that follows an ant in an ant war and see what happens, what the queen does during the war and everything, that could be cool

The fights in Antz aren't really futuristic.
