K B @Goomy Oct 22, 2026 Make no mistake, the humans are the bad guys. Fight the rich, not their wars. See more Christian G @CG_effect Oct 21, 2026 Excessive violence has become normalized for artistic effect. Exposure to the real thing leaves a distinctly different impression that forever changes how it’s viewed. Also, this is a meta-narrative on the book for which it derives its name. It is not a faithful retelling. For some this doesn’t matter. For me it does. See more Huntin P @PaxVobiscum80 Oct 15, 2026 Energetic and icky monster movie. In his recent autobiography, actor and producer Michael Douglas once again lamented the failure of certain people to grasp the satire in his movies Wall Street, for which he won an Oscar, and also Falling Down. Maybe satire doesn't work, never did? Starship Troopers, likewise, is a satire on fascism, but many people didn't pick-up on that. The reason, no doubt, is that political ideologies attract adherents precisely because they are (dangerously) attractive. This movie is attractive. The idea of being a hero, serving your country, and having your efforts recognised and rewarded, honoured and respected, who wouldn't be attracted? And so what if the war against the monsters is built on phony premises, aggression masquerading as defence? In a world which forces people to choose sides, not everyone can afford to move to Switzerland, let's face it. But anyway, Troopers is grisly entertainment, but it balances the horror with boobs and butts. Bugs vs babes. See more Frans B @FransB Sep 29, 2026 Very well done. Paul Verhoeven did good with this one, although it seems more satire than action / adventure? Good cinematography and visually really impressive. Stellar cast but somehow the acting seems a bit wooden, perhaps the script? Good premise and interesting take on the narrative. Sometimes overwhelmingly gory. Enough action, teen machismo, drama, melodrama, little suspense, some emotion, a pinch of intrigue and a good dose of satire. Entertaining and fun watch See more Romas M @Romas Sep 22, 2026 Greetings from Lithuania. What a terrific film this is. Of course, I guess it's not for everyone - you either love it or hate it. "Starship Troopers" (1997) is a science fiction, action adventure at it's AN excellent one and one of my favorite ones. Special effects were truly special when this movie came out back in 1997, I was blown away each time I was revisiting this film. The characters are simple but memorable, the set design, music and pretty much everything works here for a great escapism fun. I have seen this film many many times, and it's never gets to long or uninteresting for me. If somehow you still haven't seen this action gem, do yourself a favor and watch this on the biggest screen possible, it's a hell of a fun. Revisiting it in 2026 on 4K UHD disk was a total blast. This film looks and sounds better than ever. That siege sequence in the middle of the movie is still a benchmark. This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
