Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
quincytheodore Many might not know Starship Troopers, despite being a cult classic, has a couple of less than stellar sequels. Opting for all CG approach for the fourth one, Invasion is crafted with heavy anime Japanese touch. It has so many resemblances to video game graphic, down to facial and body structures, which gives it a chance for spectacular effect. Be that as it may, the material still doesn't go beyond generic sci-fi banters.Story follows the crew of Alesia as they perform dangerous missions and uncover secret of the bugs. The graphic is good, an above average quality of CG at that time, and this different direction caters both to franchise fans and general sci-fi enthusiasts. For most part, the rendition is glossy and proportional. It presents its highest production value on gratuitous naked digital girls and gory action. It does stutter occasionally, in a few scenes the action seem rigid and facial expression is rather bland.Japanese video game screenplay is notoriously hampered with campy dialogues or over-the-top situations. Those who have played popular video game franchise such as Resident Evil will notice similar kinks on Invasion. Characters are made with stereotypical personalities and looks, a somewhat westernized army appearance for animation genre. Sexy blonde, rugged soldier and everything in between. The film attempt to give some depth to the characters, but its script just isn't up to task.It can be cringe-worthy to hear what these people say. Macho quips, overly melodramatic lines and even catchphrases are thrown with reckless abandon. Dubbing isn't that bad, they do their best with the jarring lines. Some level of knowledge of the series might be required as it lacks narrative, and even then the story barely wraps up. To its credit, the action part is presentable. A couple of high octane scenes are better than most in sci-fi genre.Starship Troopers: Invasion might not reach the same pinnacle of its original, but as a popcorn flick it provides enough chuckles and gazes for brief delight.
Paul Schlacter The first Starship movie was a great little flick. # 2 and 3 were quite disappointing. I didn't put much expectation into this movie but I was totally blown away. The CGI was amazing and the characters were all well thought out. Each character brought a little "humanity" into the flick instead of being the traditional "bug" fodder. The gratuitous nude scenes were also humorous and a nice touch to make this movie more a "film" move than an animation. The action was intense and once again the special effects were amazing. I might even go as far as buying a copy for my personal collection. Definitely beat out the previous Starship Trooper movies and may even blow away the first movie as well. I would highly recommend this for any scifi fan out there.
Brooke G I really like the Starship Troopers franchise, all of the movies including this one.They are lots of fun, lots of action and lots of special effects. This time thought its a CGI version, a bit more serious, with a little bit lame script but still good movie.I love science-fiction/horror and CGI movies and this had it all, including a little CGI nudity and muscles mm-mm.Every character in the movie was ready to be the hero and ready to die for the cause, each one was a strong enough character for you to be able to pick your favourite. Which is always good, not like some movies where the characters are weak and boring and you don't care if they live, die, succeed or fail miserably.The plot felt predictable and i found myself thinking i could guess what was going to happen next but then all of a sudden it changed and caught me by surprise. Just when you thought they were safe they wasn't and just when you thought they were goners it all turned around in their favour...or did it? You will have to watch and see.Over all it was entertaining movie and i would be happy to see more either real actors or CGI...its all good.P.S Keep watching the end credits.
deatman9 When I was younger I was always a big fan of starship troopers and ever since then it has had a place in my heart even though as I got older I realize it is a B movie. Then I saw the second one and was horribly disappointed so I didn't even bother with the third one. I had not even heard of this CGI version until last night so I decided to give it a try. Im so glad I did.This movie blows the third and second out of the water and it may even be better then the first one. Personally I just liked the epicness of the first one if they had done this one like that it would have been better. The CGI is good and so is the story line and action sequences the only downside about this is the acting, Some of the characters are sub-par at best.If you are a big fan of first starship troopers well I highly suggest you give this one a watch. It is probably the best one to be made so far and they just make more like this.
