Their shells are like armour and if they are not spearing
you with their legs then they are ripping you in half.
Starship Troopers has to be one of the goriest movies
made in a long time, we kid you not. Arms, legs and heads
go flying, blood gushes, brains get sucked out and alien goo
gets sprayed everywhere.
It is also one of the best movies to hit big screen/video/DVD
over the past decade.
Director Paul Verhoeven has created a simply stunning '50s-style
adventure that perfectly blends action, satire and brilliant
graphics in an over-the-top treat for anyone with half a brain.
Gorgeous actors, witty scripting and unbelievably good special
effects ensured Starship Troopers would become a cult
classic.
The cast work their material well and you do strike up a
relationship with them, even some of the annoying ones. But
it's the scenes where hosts of bugs swarm in for an attack
that really capture your attention.
Picture this, tens of thousands of two to three-metre-high
killing machines scuttling towards you. It's like watching
a cosmic version of Zulu while on some mind-bending susbstance.
Starship Troopers is a must-have and if you only have
room for two or three DVDs on your rack, this has to be one
of them.
