Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012)

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Awesome Movie

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

There are lots of next future star of screen writing or something. Some of them can write a story. Some just know the screen writing conventions, like where to put the captions. This is the product of such a creative writer that knows the standard, but would be better qualified to do something else, like washing cars or be a janitor at a school. I mean, come on! Stellar transportation, cute tin costumes and all they have are glorified machine guns with larger magazines than the ones from World War I??? And the bugs are good enough to come from their Solar System and their strategy is something worthy of a peasant upgraded to NKVD officer? All ahead! And the direction slash production team is execrable. Equality, but it's all about the breasts. Boys have a crew cut. Probably because it is easy to maintain. But girls are all in full make up and cute hair cuts. They might not come back from the next mission, but at least they smell nice, right? Even the costumes, beneath the armor, are worthy of a sex slave and not a military. But who cares? The audience doesn't seem to know any better.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

After the disappointment of the third movie not quite living up to the expectations I had for it, this addition to the franchise was a sigh of relief, and honestly a fun ride. The thing that made the first movie so great was that it WAS corny, over the top, and sucked you into a universe you thought would be fantastic to live in. This movie gives us what we want. Action, simple story line, and actual empathy with the characters. I honestly felt like I was part of the story at times. While the movie certainly isn't quite 10 star material, it delivers on all fronts the elements that made the first movie so much fun. Plus, if you're a die hard fan of the series, you'll enjoy it just because you get to see the continuation of some of your favorite characters. The CGI was cool but in my opinion it would have been cooler if they just made it live action. At times it felt like I was watching an extended video game cut scene (when are they giving us a Starship Troopers video game???). After the first 30 minutes I barely noticed it, however, and just allowed myself to watch the movie as it was. Overall, it's fun, it's blood soaked, it has just the right amount of nudity and the franchise's attempt at wit to make it very likable. Sometimes a bit predictable and corny, but again, that's what made the first movie such a delight. 8/10, would recommend to sci-fi fans, Starship Trooper fans, and anyone looking to watch a fun movie.

Skip the 2nd and 3rd movie. This is a canon continuation to the animation series, the original characters have become big wigs in this movie in their respective fields.The staffs are mostly Japanese so expect Japanese quality of CGI and style. The dialogs were quite awkward, maybe because the script was originally in Japanese, but you can get used to that.The actions were awesome and there's some nudity as well. For 80 minutes movie, it was extremely satisfying. Many questions were left unanswered so I expect more sequels to be made.For Starship Troopers fans, this is a must watch.

1st watched 12/10/2012 – 7 out of 10(Dir-Shinji Aramaki): Well made CGI movie that continues the bug-alien tradition of 3 other live action "Starship Troopers" movies -- but really betters at least the original, in my opinion, because it focuses of the action. Although the human animation isn't 100% believable, the beautiful backgrounds, props and the animation of the Queen bug is first rate. The makers of this movie also create a very good story that is slow going at first with some corny lines thrown in, but they make up for it with how they pull everything together. The movie is primarily about a lady captain who's ship is overtaken by something unknown and the troops plan on hunting it down and bringing it back. What is discovered is that the Queen bug (created by a mad scientist trying to figure out how to outwit the bugs) is controlling it after they captured it from the humans. The first half of the movie is used to setup the story and the characters and the last half focuses on the action. This is definitely not a movie for kids as there is CGI nudity(which is actually pretty revealing), a lot of violence, rough language, and lots of splattering bugs. There is very little humor here as the filmmakers went one direction with this one and pulled it off pretty well. This is similar to Aliens 2 in that it goes straight for the jugular and doesn't hold back once it gets going. I wasn't quite sure I was going to accept this medium for this movie at first, but it captured my attention with it's storytelling and visuals. This is a unique movie by a Japanese director, with a very American-like feel to the story but is a lot of fun and is a very worthwhile addition to this franchise.
