Didn`t you find it interesting how movie scenes related to fashist propaganda, Hitler-jugend, racism, false flag attacks, auschwitz, experiments on jews, demonaising of foreing enemies, corruption, sexualization of military, using religion for war, school being tool for ideology propaganda and more.

starship troopers is one of my favorite movies! I loved it when i was 7 (when it was released on vhs) and now as an adult! It is such an amazing film!!!

The effects were the only thing to enjoy. Acting/plot/ everything is just fxxx horrible and just boring as hell

It's an old review, but Starship really deserves a context. Heinlein's book was a disguised scifi story to promote a military fascism. Verhoeven, born out of the 2nd world war, abhorred fascism and due to his own sensibilities, went about to take Heinlein's work and satirize it. As he did with Robocop and the cold war. I am a little saddened that no one at sourcefed touch on the underlying themes of movies and only comment on superficial aspects. Maybe it'll get better.

The Starship Troopers book was an analysis social responsibility vs individual sacrifice, and Heinlen proposed that a properly run military state could be highly successful against any enemy. This movie turns that idea on its head into an amazing piece of satire. It follows the same story almost to a T, but makes the army look silly, petty, and over-the-top. The cheesiness is what makes the movie so wonderful because it exposes just how ridiculous Heinlen's original proposals were.
