About Starship Troopers
From the sweeping galactic views of the Fleet Battle Station Ticonderoga to the desolate alien planets teeming with shrieking, fire-spitting, brain-sucking enemies, acclaimed director Paul Verhoeven crafts a dazzling antiwar epic based on Robert A. Heinlein's classic sci-fi adventure. Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Patrick Muldoon, and Michael Ironside star as the courageous soldiers who travel deep into space for the ultimate showdown between the species. [129 min; sci-fi, drama, action; English]
"Verhoeven is absolutely cutthroat in this satire about war, propaganda, and fascism. The fact that audiences and critics may have missed the intention of this fun, hilarious, and gory war film is wild. 25 years later, it still holds up." — Joe Lipsett, Horror Queers podcast
"Time is the only real judge of art, and time has been more than kind to Starship Troopers." — Drew Dietsch, Giant Freakin Robot
"With the use of plenty of practical effects, realistic gore, and models blended into the computer graphics, the look of the film is spectacular." — Mike Massie, Gone with the Twins
