Starship Troopers

The more I watch this movie, the less I like it. It's basically Aliens for idiots. There is some interesting political commentary and some cool special effects amidst the hackneyed plot and cliched characters, which makes it worth a watch or two, but it's not the kind of movie someone looking for originality will get much out of.

  1. I loved the book; quirky and political in spots, but ultimately centered on kick-ass space marines in cool flying exoskeleton suits with awesome weapons. So I was sorely disappointed in the movie, which had lame acting and props, and only a loose resemblance to the book...
