Review of Starship Troopers (1997) by Jonny P — 15 Jun 2011

"Starship Troopers" is a lot of decent bug-explosion special effects with nothing of quality to pull them together. The story is okay but the dialogue and acting gives an overarching sensation of "who cares?" There was about as much attraction between the lead characters as there is between oil and water.

While the special effects are realistic (CGI bugs as well as gore), they just made it apparent that the actors had less depth than the computer generated bugs. There are a lot of action films and a lot of sci-fi films better than this one - this one isn't really a necessity.
