Rico is now sent into battle to destroy the bugs. Meanwhile his girlfriend is now a pilot and another friend is a scientist. Together, even though they work in different groups, they try to band together to defeat the bugs.

Casper van Dien and Denise Richards sign up for military service against the alien Arachnids who threaten to destroy Earth. Agreeable mindless action, but falls massively short of the book's intelligent treatment of war and soldiers.

A leave your brain at the door, science fiction gore fest. Cheesy lines, bad actors but the CGI bugs and explosive battle scenes make this a thouroughly enjoyable bug hunt.

The review of this Movie prepared by sammy morales




It deals with ateenage couple who are (more or less voluntarily)joining futuristic Armed Forces, which gives them citizenship in a modern society that is being run by the Armed Forces. While the guy becomes a grunt and sees cruel Basic Training, his girlfriend becomes a pilot and leaves him. The guy sees action when war breaks out and falls in love with an ex-classmate who has also joined up. The guy and his ex advance thru the ranks quickly and finally face the final conflict with the evil aliens.
The review of this Movie prepared by John Porter




A loose adaptation of Heinlien's book of the same name, Starship Troopers follows a group of recent high-school graduates through the military of the far-future and into battle against the Arachnid Threat.
The review of this Movie prepared by Brook Willeford




A cheesy action movie, loosly based on the book by Robert A. Heinlein. Humanity is at war with a vicious alien race of giant spider-like bugs. A action packed war movie with blood, gore, flying limbs and decapitation, explosions, and guns. Not much in the way of good acting or involved plot, but a great movie if you are in the mood for maximum carnage. Rent this one when the wife/girlfriend is out and you and a couple guys want to watch stuff being blown up, and people and aliens getting pulped.
