STARSHIP TROOPERS-INVASION: LET IT GO, PLEASE

If you loved the original film STARSHIP TROOPERS then good for you. I too loved the movie and found it to be one of the most original science fiction films released in some time. The sequel was okay but then it became more of a franchise and less of a story. A series of CGI cartoons followed on TV and that ended up becoming feature length CGI cartoons like this one, STARSHIP TROOPERS-INVASION.

A group of troopers are sent aboard a stranded space vessel to recover a squad sent in to rescue a prisoner and his guard. They don't know why, they just follow orders. Both are retrieved and a swarm of "bugs" attack them, taking out a few members and wounding another. They make it back to their ship but something is wrong.

One of two ships involved here goes dark and the troopers are sent in to find out what's happening. To their dismay they find more "bugs" and a problem bigger than they expected to find.

Okay so that's a small description of what this film is all about but in truth it doesn't take much more than that to explain. What we have here isn't so much about story or furthering the mythology behind the series. Instead we have tons of explosions and gun battles involving humans versus "bugs". Honestly that gets pretty boring after a while, even more so when even the humans are CGI.

Just to make sure the film gets an R rating (as if the violence weren't enough) a couple of nude shots are inserted as well. If naked CGI women are your thing then by all means, pick this movie up. You'll want to freeze frame on those scenes where most of us sit and wonder why anyone would find the need to make them in the first place.

It's a shame that movies like this get made while other more deserving films sit in limbo waiting to be made. My guess would be that it costs little to make, that most of the programming for the CGI was in the computers already and they thought they could get a nice return on investment by making this. Fans of the original will find no reason to seek this out. Fans of science fiction will not find much to like either. That leaves pretty much no one who will love this movie with the exception of naked CGI babe fetish crowd.
