Starship Troopers

Some time in the future, a group of friends joins Earth's military forces after high school graduation to battle the insectoid Klendathu. One fights for the chance to be a renowned pilot (Denise Richards), one for revenge (Casper Van Dien), and one for the love of a good man (Dina Meyer), but interpersonal relationships take a backseat to the firepower leveled against (and returned from) the chitinous aliens. Paul Verhoeven's subversively humourous and thrilling sci-fi film is adapted from the classic science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein.

      An uneasy and ambivalent movie: it attempts to subvert the intention of Heinlein's novel, which praises the notion of a military élite, yet remains true to the original's enjoyment of violent battles and military superiority; the cast of bland young actor

      The just don't ...

      The just don't make enough films like this. A clever, satircal film masquerading as a big, loud and stupid actioner. It's got guns and blood and bugs ... read more »
