Although Ed Neumeier's script relies a little too much on contrivance and coincidence to be wholly satisfying, Starship Troopers still manages to be a thoroughly enjoyable piece of comic-book escapism, whilst at the same time successfully satirising fascism and the futility of war, once again proving that no-one does ballsy, big-budget sci-fi with subversive undertones quite like director Paul Verhoeven.
An outrageously violent adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's book (of the same name) Starship Troopers presents a future where the Earth's population is divided into two groups: civilians and citizens. In order to attain citizen status, which affords a person certain perks not available to civilians, one must 'do their bit for society'; for teenager Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien), this means joining the military for a tour of duty against the nasty insect-like aliens that have been launching attacks on Earth from across the vast expanses of space.
Packed with gung-ho action, outrageous gore, and CGI effects that still look great today, Verhoeven's film is a magnificent, non-stop barrage of bloody conflict—both in space and on the surface of inhospitable, bug-infested planets—that effortlessly drives home the horror of war, whoever (or whatever) the enemy and wherever the battleground.
Verhoeven's naive troopers are a likable bunch of characters, but the director doesn't spare his viewers any of the gory details when it comes to them being hacked to pieces by the vicious scuttling aliens: limbs are scattered in all directions, heads are effortlessly removed by flying creatures, soldiers are burnt alive by massive fire-spewing tank bugs, and brains get sucked out of their victim's skulls.
As well as offering excellent satire, superb direction, stomach-churning gore, and stunning special effects, Starship Troopers also features pitch-perfect performances from its impressive cast (which includes Bond-girl Denise Richards, toothy Jake Busey, Clancy 'The Kurgan' Brown, feisty hottie Dina Meyer, Neil Patrick Harris, and the always brilliant Michael Ironside), plus a magnificent rousing score from Basil Poledouris.
