Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Starship Troopers charts the lives of elite members of the Mobile Infantry, a corps of dedicated young men and women soldiers fighting side-by-side in the ultimate intergalactic war... the battle to save humankind. The enemy is mysterious and incredibly powerful with only one mission: survival of their species no matter what the human cost.

Amazon.com:
In the first and finest RoboCop movie, director Paul Verhoeven combined near-future science fiction with a keen sense of social satire--not to mention enough high-velocity violence to satisfy even the most voracious bloodlust. In Starship Troopers, Verhoeven and RoboCop cowriter Ed Neumeier take inspired cues from Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi novel to create a special-effects extravaganza that functions on multiple levels of entertainment. The film might be called "Melrose Place in Space," with its youthful cast of handsome guys and gorgeous women who look like they've been recruited (and in some cases they were) from the cast of Beverly Hills 90210. Viewers might focus on the incredible, graphically intense action sequences (definitely not for children) in which heavily armed forces from Earth go to off-world battle against vast hordes of alien "bugs" bent on planetary conquest. The attacking bugs are marvels of state-of-the-art special-effects technology, and the space battles are nothing short of spectacular. But Starship Troopers is more than a showcase for high-tech hardware and gigantic, flesh-ripping insects. Recalling his childhood in Holland during the Nazi occupation, Verhoeven turns this epic adventure into a scathingly funny satire of fascist propaganda, emphasizing Heinlein's underlying warning against the hazards of military conformity and the sickening realities of war. It's an action-packed joy ride if that's all you're looking for, but Verhoeven has a provocative agenda that makes Starship Troopers as smart as it is exciting. The DVD includes an above-average commentary by the director and Neumeier, several deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes documentary and promotional featurette, cast bios, production notes, and more. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good transaction
I bought the DVD of Starship Troopers for my wife (believe it or not). She had a video tape of Starship Troopers but the VCR ate it and I am surprising her with the DVD for Christmas. I am very satisfied with the price and the shipping time was ok.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Complete Crap
The polar opposite of the book in so many ways - from the political themes to the weapons and combat.

The combat scenes are a terrible joke. I'd like to think that if we can transport troops to other planets, we could arm them with something better than a current 5.56 rifle. And, maybe arrange for a few mortars or artillery.

Just an awful movie based on one of the greatest military sci-fi books ever written.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Has its moments, but doesn't really deserve the title
Starship Troopers is a big budget action film set in a science-fiction based future where most of society is military based, and to be considered a citizen you must serve in the Terran Mobile Infantry. This is of course based on the classic sci-fi/military novel written by Robert A. Heinlein nearly fifty years ago, which was under the same name. The name is pretty much where the similarities between the movie and the book end.

The plot to this film adaptation of this sci-fi classic ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Mocks the book on which it was based.
This movie is the liberal reaction to the book. This can especially be seen in the short films that litter the story. It makes fun of Heinlein's "militarism" by turning him into a jingoistic straw-man, following the well worn Hollywood groove of hating the armed forces and pretending that war is a silly game played by overgrown 9 year old boys.

Here is a little Latin from Napoleon for you Hollywood:
Si vis bellum para pacum.




Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Who wants to kill some bugs!
Now this might lose some weight with my review, but I feel I should first state that I have not read Heinlen's legendary novel yet. Based on some other research I've done, it seems the movie does not accurately represent the novel. I realize that often time's movies can butcher a great novel, just look at Battlefield Earth. Absolutely terrible rendition and the movie wasn't that interesting overall. On the other hand I enjoyed Starship Troopers in its own right. While maybe not an exact replication ... Read More
