Starship Troopers is funny and a great piece of political satire, but it’s also violent as fuck.

The visual effects are still good for the same reason the visual effects on the OG Jurassic Park are still good: they knew when to use CGI and when to use practical effects.
Paul Verhoeven also did Robocop and Total Recall before this movie. Regrettably he hasn’t done anything as good, since.
It is ab bit trashy, but the acting is good , the plot is great and the subtext is also very engaging.
It is on purpose trashy
At least I got to have you
The acting is not good, especially Denise Richards. Michael Ironside was outstanding
The game is on sale for
