Nov 7, 2013 · Starship Troopers: One of the Most Misunderstood Movies Ever The sci-fi film’s self-aware satire went unrecognized by critics when it came out 16 years ago. Now, some are finally getting the...

After two live-action sequels, Starship Troopers: Invasion was released in 2012: an animated feature about a rescue mission gone awry. While various characters return from the original film, none of them are voiced by (or particularly resemble) their original actors, and it’s not difficult to understand why. At best, the CGI animation resembles a v...
Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars was released in 2017: a second animated feature, from the same team as Invasion, with Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer reprising their roles from the original film this time around. Johnny Rico (Van Dien) is relocated to Mars, following his demotion, and leads a ragtag squad against a slew of Arachnid attacks. While...
Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation was released in 2004: the first live-action sequel, it debuted to generally terrible reviews and rightly so, but, in fairness, the plot is pretty cool in concept — it's just executed poorly. Something of a riff on John Carpenter’s The Thing, Hero of the Federation sees a group of troopers arrive at an aba...
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder was released in 2008: the second live-action sequel and first to feature Casper Van Dien returning as Johnny Rico. Plot-wise, its another rescue mission — with Rico leading a team to retrieve their beloved Sky Marshal from an Arachnid-infested planet. Boasting a bigger budget and better camera-work than Hero of the Fed...
In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 classic Starship Troopers is the best film in the franchise by a country mile. It tells the story of high-schooler turned soldier, Johnny Rico, who joins the fascistic Federation to become a citizen and fight Arachnids. A bizarre blend of pulp sci-fi and outsized satire, with the to...

Starship Troopers is a 1997 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier, based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert A. Heinlein.
Nov 7, 1997 · “Starship Troopers” is the most violent kiddie movie ever made. I call it a kiddie movie not to be insulting, but to be accurate: Its action, characters and values are pitched at 11-year-old science-fiction fans. That makes it true to its source. It’s based on a novel for juveniles by Robert A. Heinlein. I read it to the point of ...
Feb 28, 2024 · Starship Troopers is about as subtle as a movie about screaming bug killers can be. So why do people keep missing the point?
May 6, 2024 · This $100 million sci-fi movie seems like an earnest war story, but it is secretly a sharp satire of fascism, nationalist propaganda, the media, and the military-industrial complex. Unfortunately, not many critics understood Verhoeven’s cult classic Starship Troopers when it was first released.
