It is better than I remember. The visual effects are far better than should have been possible for the time. The story is exquisite. As I watched it all I could think was "For Democracy!’
The visual effects are still good for the same reason the visual effects on the OG Jurassic Park are still good: they knew when to use CGI and when to use practical effects.
I remember a child (A CHILD!) walking out of the theater with his dad. That poor kid had the thousand-yard stare, and almost definitely PTSD.
Starship Troopers is funny and a great piece of political satire, but it’s also violent as fuck.
It is ab bit trashy, but the acting is good , the plot is great and the subtext is also very engaging.
The game is on sale for right now too!
On a related note, the OVA adaptation of Starship Troopers from the 80s (Uchuu no Senshi) is worth checking out, too.
Wat. No shit, that’s a thing.
