BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
nukeglass I know it's a bold statement, best movie of all time.. but after watching it 1,000 times, and a lot of soul searching, I stand by it. If you don't understand this masterpiece, you are ignorant of history, the nature of humanity, and the dire message that we really need to grasp. Just look at the history of Paul Verhoven. Look at RoboCop and Total Recall. Same message, same staying power of a masterpiece. So if you don't comprehend this movie, it's above your head. Go back to sleep, sheeple.
Torrin-McFinn77 What a movie! I knew I'd like this film, being a fan of science-fiction action movies (ie Terminator, Aliens, StarGate, to name a few). While it does show military action in space and fighting alien bugs, I didn't read the book until later. I don't remember too much of the book but this was a fun ride. It's easily one of those love it or hate it films, much like Independence Day, but it did its job. Some of my favorites of the bugs included the warrior bugs and the tanker bugs. You'll see what I mean when you watch it. It's pure propaganda but it's fun propaganda!
Nadeeshan Tennage (nadeeshantennage) 'Starship troopers' is a film in which basically you would be able to see shooting sequences. Quite honestly the action packed shooting and charging sequences are the only interesting strains about the flow of this film. The script in itself is so malnourished and in my opinion adapted science fiction concepts in the worst ways imaginable. You gotta watch a movie like this to understand how cinematically brilliant are masterpieces like ' Arrival (2016) by Dennis Villeneuve and how masterfully such science fiction strains could be used in films to deliver a rich story instead of using science fiction elements just to charge a film with the necessary momentum in a vague attempt to keep the audience invested. But, believe me when I say that nothing about this awful film would be fascinating. The characters are written so badly with lack of emotional complexity and even scenes where it feels like they deliver the dialogues just because they signed up for the film and gotta do their job. None of the acting performances are convincing enough to keep you invested in the storytelling and after the first quarter of the film which is the only thing that I found as interesting in this big bore of a film; very soon the film would manage to exhaust you visually with back to back badly executed plot points, high octane shooting sequences, and pretty bad visual effects in some scenes. Afterall, this film could have gained the potential to be interesting if this only had a stronger script instead of the unconvincing, shallow execution of interesting science fiction elements which must have been adapted with a rich story. Afterall this film belongs in the category of films that are 'so bad that they become unintentionally comical'. So, go on and watch this for the guilty pleasure of it and to see how badly a film maker could adapt science fiction elements into a film with a shallow script to ultimately execute it to destruction.
HaroldNaples It is a mixed bag of terrible acting and eye candy. Great special effects and repetitive action sequences. Poignant satire, boring American style futuristic totalitarianism and one dimensional characters. Its worth a watch for the humour alone which matches that of robocop, the CGI and for the bodies, though there could have been more on the female side. It inherits the flaws of the base material and the little acting talent there is on the set (Michael Ironside, Clancy Brown) does not redeem it.Stay away from the sequels, no joke.
