DVD Description

This 3 film box set includes the original Starship Troopers and two of its sequels--a triple whammy of Bug horde destruction.

Starship Troopers is set in the future and follows a group of friends who join Earth's military forces after high school graduation. Their mission: to battle the insectoid Klendathu. One fights for the chance to be a renowned pilot (Denise Richards), one for revenge (Casper Van Dien), and one for the love of a good man (Dina Meyer), but interpersonal relationships take a back seat to the firepower leveled against (and returned from) the chitinous aliens. Paul Verhoeven's subversively humorous and thrilling sci-fi film is adapted from the classic science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein.

In Starship Troopers 2 - Hero of the Federation, the alien Bug horde is still the number one enemy. This time, directed by Phil Tippett, the visual effects wizard from the original movie (and also Star Wars and Indiana Jones), Hero of the Federation finds the mobile infantry unit of the Federation isolated light years away from reinforcements. They must seek the help of a Federation traitor if they are to have any hope of saving themselves and the human race.

Casper Van Dien (star of the original) returns after over a decade for Starship Troopers 3 - Marauder, the second sequel to the alien-bug-battling, action-packed splatter-fest satire. After the celebrated Johnny Rico (Van Dien), now a colonel, attempts to defend the planet Roku San from some nasty arachnids, he finds himself put on death row for acting inappropriately during battle. But when a Federation starship piloted by tough soldier babe Lola Beck (Jolene Blalock, Enterprise) crashes on a far-away alien planet, only the bug-squashing Rico can save the day--the authorities have no choice but to release him for the mission. Armed with an impossibly advanced weapon known as the Marauder, Rico and his crew are prepared to exterminate by any means necessary. Marauder, written and directed by Edward Neumeier (co-scribe of Robocop and the original Starship Troopers), is a return to satirical form for the Starship series.

3.0 out of 5 stars First film is Excellent...but where's the extras?, 2 Oct 2008
The films look and sound really good, but the first film has the same basic extras that were released on the previous Blu-ray, when in the US set they get new extras and a commentary etc. So it's a bit of a letdown on that point, but if you're not bothered about extras, then you should be happy with the picture and sound quality alone.

I would give the first film 5 stars, but the Blu-ray set itself 3 stars due to the poor extras on disc 1, and the fact that the two sequels are pretty bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars HD Master, 13 Oct 2008
By Mr. J. Preston "jamesfed" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Starship troopers films have often been called `modern b movies' however in my opinion they are good films to watch when you just want to see stuff get shot up!
As far as HD films go these are fantastic in full 1080p and I didn't notice a single point where my player #HP Media Elite PC# skipped or where the image appeared sub par of HD.
Fully worth getting all three films in a box set #considering the price# with my personal favourite being the first with its original concept, the second and third are also good films looking more into the development of the `bug' species and even a `God' bug half the size of a planet in the third film.
Final thing to note this film is an 18 for all the right reasons and I highly recommend this film isn't sold/given as a present for anyone younger.

4.0 out of 5 stars See you on the bounce Trooper!, 27 Sep 2009
Ed Neumeier's work is a fascinating back catalogue, as one of the most imaginative screenplay writers he has delivered such remarkable creations as Robocop and of course Starship Troopers. Both have relied on the influence of Paul Verhoeven as director of both franchises highlights and don't underestimate his influence, but for now we will concentrate on the vision created by Ed.

Both of his famous creations create extreme sci-fi visions of the future. In Robocop a half man half machine becomes the saviour of Delta City, a city owned run and controlled by a vicous corporation, OCP. The parallels are obvious when you compare Starship Troopers where a future Earth is at war with super sized and super intelligent bugs. People flock to join the military because it offers a ticket to be classed as a citizen and not simply a civilian and the chance of a brighter future and better life.

Both Robocop and Starship Troopers break from the story to show media reports, propaganda and more from the ruthless and manipulative companies who are in charge. 'So what!' you may say, they are similar films, we get it. Infact I feel their similarlities are what set them appart from so many other sci fi titles.

Despite the extreme visions of the future, complete with super sci fi enermies, the real subject you explore in both films is the exploration of humanity. Despite the highly exagratted back drop these films hold up a mirror to the human race and explore all of the facets, from both ends of the spectrum. Ed's gift is that although you grow attached to lead characters you do sometimes find yourself wondering which side you are really rooting for.

So, 'Starship Troopers' is occasionally cheesy, borrows much of its ideas on technology from James Cameron's Aliens but is an action filled blast of a film with almost a 'coming of age'/'buddy film' feel at times. The big bugs are realistic and all of the space sequences are believable and match most of the high standards of current special effects which makes the blu ray copy well worth a watch. Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer are good leads but not being Hollywood heavyweights does give the film that B-movie feel, which I think is a good thing. With no superstar lead there are no preconcieved ideas as an audience of who will live and who will die, peril remains throughout and that can only be a good thing. So for the first part of the trilogy we'd be talking 5 stars, but sadly the set takes a real turn for the worst........really.

'Starship Troopers 2- Hero of the Federation' is sadly 2 hours of my life I will never get back. Gone are the slick sci fi effects and glorious backdrops of deep space to be replaced with dark, foggy nothingness and dialogue that seems jerky, unnatural and bland. Put simply, it's a horror show of a sequel that this boxed set would simply be better without. Actors seem to go from B movie cool to amateur dramatics odd and in short this film is a stinker. Some ideas are carried straight over from the first film and there are a few enjoyable sequences, but nothing more is on show. It seems sad really as I can only imagine this script would ever be in existance if the studio had put up a whacking great sum of money for a sequel, so why is this film so clearly low budget? That is not a retorical question, just a comment on my confusion. Richard Burgi stars with Colleen Porch although the term 'stars' has never been so undeserved, in short you could claim the cast had moved onto bigger and better things if they had started working in a drive thru.......and relax.

So overall I gave this boxed set a very respectable 4 stars so fear not, better is to come. 'Starship Troopers 3 Maruader' is a return to form of a sort, it is presented by Paul Verhoeven (I'm never really sure what that means but) he has attached his name to a real return to form so whatever his influence, it seems to be a good one. Casper Van Dien is back as the lead and this helps the films appeal, he is back delivering one liners, the dialogue is funny, sharp and still cheesy. The high budgets of the earlier films have gone, but this straight to DVD affair doesn't show the scars at all. Some may say the special effects are not great but the action raced past without me noticing to any great extent. This film does not quite top the first, as although the ideas from that film are continued along with the character/plot development (which was lost from the second), nothing feels entirely new. But by keeping the key ingrediants the same we see a far better film than the second. It is fun, frantic and at 30 years of age, (remembering being considerably younger when I sat in the cinema to watch the first) I would consider this film one of my cinematic guilty pleasures.

In all the boxed set offers little incentive to buy these films altogether, little special features is an obvious and sad ommition, some neat postcards, a carded sleeve box don't improve the arguement much. But, for the right price this set offers some great entertainment and I recommend it to anyone into sci fi or action films. Even with an iffy second the other two more than make up for it by making blasting giant ants to bits a moreish viewing. The first and third will be titles you reach for time and time again.

I hope you enjoy these films. See you on the bounce trooper.
