Starship Troopers (1997) | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Thought I saw something very sad the other morning, did I read that the idiots are planning on making a.. "reboot" of the original... Sad days... Just leave it alone...
It’s amazing how many scenes aren’t really even changed from the book - the ideal of the military being required for citizenship is coming from Heinlein, basically everything in the film is in the book. The book just portrays it all as a good thing.
Is this going to be a remake of the Paul Verhoeven movie or a movie faithful to the book? I got the impression it was going to be the latter and it scares me. At this point in the US, such a movie would awfully seem like the kind of militaristic propaganda Trump would love for his expansionist Putinesque fantasies.
Helldivers II is very popular right now, and that game is basically a comedic over-the-top parody of Starship Troopers (the movie, not the book). If the studio has any sense about them, they'll remake the film in the vein of Helldivers and not actual imperialist military propaganda like the book.
Don't watch Starship Troopers 2.
Starship Troopers 2 is the first and only movie I've ever walked out on, and only because I kept falling asleep watching it. To this day, I still haven't watched the whole thing. Such an awful movie.
I read a synopsis of the entire plot at some point and I remember the ending being super unsatisfying, which further discourages me from ever watching it.
I learned of 2, and 3, many years later, during my heavy stoner years.
Now I'll tell yah. Being high as shit is really dangerous, in that it can make you think that truly mid, or even bad, stuff is amazing/hilarious.
Even the "high as fuck bump" couldn't save these sequels, they were so bad and not memorable at all. Would not recommend
