Oct 30, 2018 at 17:38 comment added pojo-guy I was disappointed in the movie, but after re-reading the boo I realized that the book is 75% introspection, which is hard to create a good movie from. I was also disappointed that they didn't use the real Camp Arthur Currie / CFB Calgary for the movie. It had just been vacated when the movie was starting production, and was looking for renters, but that's a detail only a few niche fans would even have been aware of.

Feb 14, 2011 at 20:49 comment added DampeS8N The movie was only really meant to be a fun little bug-hunting romp. The two direct-to-dvd sequels were truly bad.
Feb 14, 2011 at 18:20 comment added Rodger Cooley You did the right thing, but read the book if you haven't already. Most of the book is about him going through boot camp.
Feb 14, 2011 at 17:58 comment added Jorge Florêncio i remember the trailer for that starship troopers but i run away from it, didn't know it was based in an Heinlein work.

Feb 14, 2011 at 16:53 comment added Mark Rogers @Satanicpuppy - I actually felt the same way, but since I've watched it because it's been syndicated to TV so many times, I've actually grown to appreciate it. The movie has Fallout style neo-40/50s culture that is great satire. There are some hilariously gruesome deaths and actually pretty good special effects. It probably has too much campy nudity for some viewers, but I should mention it has NPH in it, nuff said.
