Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012)



This was not bad. Far better than ST 2 & 3. But not nearly as good as the original. They make no attempts to follow the formula, which probably would have been very risky and probably fail miserably. American actors and voices created by Japanese artists and direction. I thought the CGI was pretty good. About the same as Final Fantasy. In retrospect, after all this time you would have thought they could get the dead eye problem figured out by now. Some of the detail was amazing. I remember one up close scene of a character and you could actually see the little dust particles and filaments that float around when the sun light hits it right.

I was surprised to see nudity and by golly, it was well done. Character definition was pretty good. Had their own look and sound, despite being in armor most of the time.

They only used 3 different types of bug here. Also to distinguish themselves, 99% of the story is on space ships.

I recommend it if you like sci-fi, or the original Starship Troopers. There's enough blood, guts and gore, sex and cussing to make a very respectable R-rated movie.  ;D
