As a certain Sarah Brightman (with Hot Gossip) once sang, I lost my heart to a Starship Trooper, so when I have the chance to view the latest offering in the franchise I jumped at the chance. Now whilst this does feature characters from the original, the viewer is treated to a full computer graphic spectacular which whilst entertaining, is definitely showing as something a little dated with negligible plot and sadly very little acting to help bring the film over.
Add to this an over excessive use of gratuitous boob shots, some sadly lamentable death sequences as well as a plot that had quite a few huge holes in it and all in this could have been so much better.
Don't get me wrong it was watchable and it did fill a gap in my schedule but to be blunt, I was expecting something so much more, especially when you have so many options available to help not only expand their dark future but also when other franchises have delved into Space Hulks that can scare without ever really getting into showing what's going on.
All in it was OK but personally I'd have had a few more twists and turns setting it more on the hulk with danger round every corner be it from the Bugs or perhaps even other space dangers which could have made this not only more atmospheric but also given it a greater grounding as well as pace.

please note this is not a live action movie but rather a clever cgi film from japan.good fun for about 80 minutes but really does nothing for the starship troopers franchise.

I put this on pre-order when i watched the little trailer, something I never do with blu ray titles, because the clip looked amazing visually and because I love good CGI. The clip looked to be just like very high quality cut scenes in good production value Video Games. When I started watching the actual movie I found I had some small criticisms such as the character rendering, lip sync, texturing and colours could have done with some improvement whereas all the solid objects etc were beautifully done....
I also started to think oh well, great looking as it is this is going to be another cliched Starship Trooper movie, same old formula as the others...yawn...
Actually nothing to fear...at times breathtakingly beautiful and full of stunning, crisp, clear and colourful detail on my 1080p 50 inch plasma this is a stunning movie and even a good little story. I really found myself thoroughly enjoying this and worth every penny of the £15 I spent. Even got emotionally attached to some of the characters...Yes the original main trio are all here as well as some new additions.
If you like high quality CGI movies and enjoyed the Resident Evil Movies and The Final Fantasy Movies you have to have this movie in your collection....The quality of the artwork and rendering seemed to improve as the movie went on as if the team working on this became more flourished and practiced as they went along.....
If I'm honest I believe this is THE best quality CGI I have ever seen, and a whole movies worth....Good Job Stage 6 Films.
Overall verdict, absolutely loved it!
