Starship Troopers has little coherence, less plot, and barely
adequate special effects, which not only don't make up for
the lack of plot, but actually make the movie worse.
Apparently, sometime in the future earthlings became aware
of a dangerous alien race of giant bugs, the arachnids, living
on another planet. When the arachnids send a meteor to earth
and destroy the city of Buenos Aires, several college students
who joined the world Federation's "Force," or army, go to
war against the arachnids. Romances occur between a few of
the force members, the main characters. Most of the movie
is slime, gunfire, and swearing from then on, as the humans
battle the arachnids. It was so predictable, I saw the end
coming almost before the movie began!
The worst is all the cliche lines said in this movie, such
as "Don't die on me," and "It sucked his brains out." Such
unoriginal scripting made me think that the writer must have
had "his brains sucked out!"
Unless you're a big fan of lousy movies, don't waste your
time or money.
My rating : 1 star
Rating : R (for graphic sci-fi violence and gore, and for
some language and nudity)
