There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The lurch to the right wing has never been more presciently delineated than here. For generations of people growing up in the Long Peace, this has been a fantasy.

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.

'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.

This is an excellent action war science fiction satire with fast-paced battle scenes. Star Wars is boring nonsense compared to this.Why isn't Starship Troopers more popular? When I've mentioned it to people, most of them have never heard of it.
