 Great November 16, 2008
Charles H. Mills (Camp Hill, Pa)
I originally purchased this movie on laser disc, then DVD. There was little or no difference; however the Blu Ray provides clarity and sound that I feel was missed on the previous releases. Excellent movie.
Thanks
Mills
 Not another big bug movie! November 8, 2008

I hen defense of our world, school kids from Argentina join the military upon graduation. Military service is required for full citizenship. During their term they learn their new environment and grow together or apart as they battle big bugs from outer space.
Yep it is another bug movie. And the bugs are very big. Too bad for the people that read the book. There is no way to justify this movie to you.
However this is a great parity on military types with the grunts being boxy shaped faces and bodies to match, the elite having pointy accouterments. And the gung-ho getting their brains sucked out. This looks like a pilot for a TV series. Male associate soldiers from the book were replaced with female soldiers who improved the shower scenes.
If you just have to take the 'Fascist Utopia' thing seriously then watch a serious movie where there is still a Paul sucked into the same situation by his teacher and others in "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930).

Very Entertaining August 31, 2008

This movie is worth purchasing if you like Sci-Fi. Great graphics along with strong musical backgrounds. There is both comedy and action throughout.
One of those movies meant for Blu-Ray. August 28, 2008

When it comes to great looking titles. Sci-Fi movies can either be average or amazing. Blade Runner and Close Encounters are older titles that have never looked so good. Starship troopers in much newer and filmed with tons of CGI. It has never looked better. Super clean and sharp picture on this one. It really has that 3 dimentional pop to it. The effects look very crisp. The detail is awesome. From the landscapes to the bugs, it is reference quality. Or very close to it. The daylight scenes are very bright and sharp. The darker scenes in space have very nice deep blacks and still remain clean and detailed. The skin tones are right on, and there are no specs of dirt or artifacts to be seen. I am very happy with this title.
As far as the sound goes, it is a great sounding movie. Tons of shootouts and explosions to take full advantage of your audio system. Voices are clean and clear. No complaints here either. Your subwoofer will get some use many times throughout the movie. Rear sound effects are cool during shootouts also. Simply cant do much better in my opinion. A good buy if your a fan of this movie. Best quality release of this movie to date, hands down.
