Plot Summary:
|
Some point in the future, a band of friends joins Clay's military forces after high school graduation to battle the insectoid Klendathu. One fights for the chance to be a renowned pilot (Denise Richards), anecdote for revenge (Casper Van Dien), and one in the service of the love of a enthusiastic humankind (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 animating sci-fi film is adapted from the study fiction novel alongside Robert A. Heinlein.

Satire and violence... can't be beat!
Ahhh... good old Paul Verhoeven. Plenty of satire about gung-ho militaristic endeavours and the propaganda that accompanies them, married to a story of a small group of friends about whose welfare we're persuaded to care. Lots of black comedy, lots of violence, and Dina Meyer's bare chest. It's a winner!
Starship Troopers
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 and Doogie Howzer. What else do you need?
