Starship Troopers

 

USA 1997, 129 minutes
Dir. Paul Verhoeven
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Science Fiction / Fantasy, Futurism

Topics: Gung-ho, Satire.

 

Aroview: ROBOCOP man Verhoeven's 'ironic' take on Robert Heinlein's 1959 novel about a totalitarian future society whose perfectly toned young 'citizens' wage an enthusiastic war with alien bugs.

Though tech-heads will marvel at the exhaustive CGI effects on display, the insectile enemy are a bland mob, and Verhoeven is just too much of an admirer of gung-ho culture to be an effective satirist. This party-poop view, though, continues to fall on deaf ears...
