Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
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.
Excuse me if my "dork" is showing, but I don't think anyone here has read the book, much less followed the seasons of "Roughnecks: The Starship Trooper chronicles" ~ How about the comics? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Robert Heinlein is a genius. I love his work. The original movie had a few common threads with the book, but was largely different. Movies 2 and 3 were all cheese factor level 10, but I loved them anyway. This movie "Invasion" was closer to the book than all the movies, the series and comics combined. It was AWESOME. PLUS, it takes place AFTER the Roughnecks series ended with The Homefront Campaign. If you want to see one of the best animated series ever created, get your hands on Roughnecks. As far as this particular movie is concerned, I give it the 10 out of 10 it deserves. I loved everything about it from the gratuitous nudity to the gore. I highly highly (underline highly) recommend watching Roughnecks/reading the book (in no particular order because they're different) and THEN watching Invasion. You'll see it in a whole different light.
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.
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.
