What movie is it? Is it worth watching?

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Starship Troopers. Yes it's worth watching. It's both an excellent satire of a society dominated by its military (it's portrayed as if it's an in-universe propaganda film) and an extremely well crafted action film.

It was directed by Paul Verhoeven, the same guy who directed RoboCop and Total Recall.

If you play Helldivers, you have to watch Starship Troopers.

HD takes its tone, premise, and many more things from that movie (and a bit from the book the movie satirizes).

It's Starship Troopers, one of the inspirations for Helldivers, afaik

It was good when I last watched it, but that was quite a while ago, the movie is from 1997, after all

That movie holds up really well imo. The sequels were never great. I don't want to shit on them too much, because they were basically very low budget and it seems like they tried

[–] jherazob@fedia.io 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Repeat after me: There were no sequels

[–] smokin_shinobi@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The animated ones with Big Boss Rico and the power armor were all right.
