Starship Troopers (1997)

Starship Troopers Quote: “I expect the best and I give the best. Here’s the beer. Here’s the entertainment. Now have fun. That’s an order!” – Jean Rasczak
All hands on deck Set in the future, the story follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry. Paul Verhoeven’s “Starship Troopers” mixes fun, smarts, action, sex and satire into a star-studded sci-fi package.
However, a lot of people mistook it for cheeseball macho fluff. Let’s relive the terrifying Arachnids, quotable one-liners, Nazi-influenced propaganda pieces and — of course — the infamous co-ed shower scene.
Plot Summary: “Starship Troopers“ In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the Bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war… A Mobile Infantry travels to distant alien planets to take the war to the Bugs.

Would love to know Ash’s opinion on this old review to know that true wipe score. I was 8 years old when my dad took me to the dollar theare to watch this. While i know i will wait a long time to show this to my children, i cant judge my dad to harshly because its one of my favorite memories growing up. Gene, Big D, and Ash thank you so much for the work you do!
Love the reviews, as a forward.
But OH MY GOD! how did Big D never read the book. It’s actually on the recommended reading list for Marine Corps NCO’s. The BOOK, NOT The movie.
I enjoyed the movie, and it was meant as “satire” but really nothing more than anti-US war propaganda, while portraying service as propaganda. I knew that and still enjoyed the movie because I saw it as farce, that and Casper Van Dean.
