So what if the reviews were negative I still think it's one of the best I see Paul verhoeven imagery of the movies excellent all the Hyperbole and irony that's implemented in it I don't see it as a fascist environment I think it's a world where people strive to make a difference in the 23rd century and it never ceases to impress me this movie the CGI arachnids are also excellent even en masse even though the director placed an emphasis on blood and gore it was the acting that was more brilliant and all the shots of a scenery of the arachnids Homeworld klendathu or Tango Urilla or planet P I think Paul verhoeven and the screenwriter Ed Neuimeier are geniuses

Movie Review: "Starship Troopers" (1997)Trademark director Paul Verhoeven delivers an exceptional Science-Fiction action movie that in retrospective has nothing lost even gained in motion picture entertainment factors in a noted 20th anniversary since release. The perfectly prepared 20-something cast plays up under Verhoeven's direction, creating a blueprint of a positive-thinking future generation even in extremest of situations, where female and male become unisex and equals in ever sense of free-loving and engaging sexuality, educational advancements, social status, psychological advantages and further career opportunities.The pace of the two hour 100 Million Dollar production, financed and distributed by TriStar and Touchstone Pictures respectively, could not be better due to cinematography by Jost Vacano, who shifts is cinematic eye from three- to two-shots into character close-ups, marking a real benefit in coverage for editor Mark Goldblatt. Furthermore the live-action shots, shot at Sony Picture Studios in Culver City, California combined with much more realistic-conceived miniature works of spaceships plus Computer-Generated-Imagery (CGI) enhancements as production design by Allen Cameron come to an action highlight of the 1990s at an desert fortress exterior location with beyond belief accelerated mass effects of charging alien bugs onto a constant true-staying starship trooper platoon, where each and every one has the others back, including machine gun magazine switches as well as fast-decision made mercy killings, in a science-fiction war scenario of a rarely seen honest representation of violence, blood-letting, glory and guts spreading velocity.If this would not be enough to enjoy this science-fiction movie, additionally gets the picture infused with Internet-forecasting newsreel interludes, where satire of constant 4th wall breaking moderators report on a menacing interstellar bug plague, hitting the spectator's attention, raising eyebrows, even a laugh in certain moments, when a ten-year-old blonde boy in full body armor and machine gun in his hand states that he wants to do his part for humanity's balanced peace-keeping as well.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I saw this first in a theatre in south Mumbai, cannot remember - Regal or New Empire in 1998. It is a great movie that's highly entertaining. Awesome war action sequences. Top notch impalings man. Not for the squeamish. Impalings of chest, stomach. Bodies being cut in two. Beheadings, dismemberments, amputations, etc. Lots of gun action too. Very bloody, gory n action packed. Paul Verhoeven did a fantastic job of portraying the horrors of war. He is indeed one of the best director of science fiction action films. Good star cast. Casper van dien, Denise Richards, Dina Mayer, Jack busey, Clancy Brown, Michael ironside, Neil Patrick Harris. Not at all boring. The action is non stop. There is a very gruesome scene of the brain. All in all it is an awesome action, sci fiction, creature/horror film.

Starship Troopers is a wonderful movie. It's super violent. The violence is very disturbing. It takes place in the future where Earth has become a space-faring Federation. Humans are enemies with alien bug-like animals. The aliens send an asteroid to Earth and it causes devastation from hitting Earth and provokes a war. The humans, after fighting in the war, capture an alien called the brain bug, and from this, they can gather intelligence about the aliens. The movie is fundamentally a comedy. It has fantastic scenes. There's a scene where a cow is put in a cage with a ''warrior bug'' as a demonstration of how dangerous the aliens are, and the alien goes and tears the cow to pieces with a censored sign appearing obscuring it, there's a scene where kids are stomping on roaches or something in a ''do your part'' example, and a woman is supporting it, there's a scene where a military intelligence person does a demonstration on how to kill a ''warrior bug'' and blows off a leg then shoots it in the mouth, there's a scene where a drill instructor throws a knife into the hand of a guy in basic training to make a point and there's a scene where someone pokes something into the mouth of the brain bug with a censored sign to name some of the great scenes. It has a lot of extreme violence that is very disturbing but very entertaining. The special effects are unbelievable. Titanic won the Oscar for visual and sound effects in 1998 and I think this movie deserved those Oscars as much if not more than that one. Since I mentioned Titanic, this movie on the whole is as good as Titanic. This movie is super wonderful.
