From director Paul Verhoeven comes Starship Troopers, an action fest full of blood, gore, and nakedness. The usual for science fiction from Verhoeven. Starship Troopers is one part an all-out action film and another part a satire. The action features some fantastic special effects bringing to life the amazing giant bugs. The satire seen in this film is shown in small segments of propaganda that are quite comical and provide a different look into the world of Starship Troopers. For those who want to know, the world of Starship Troopers is based on the Nazis winning World War 2, which brings the fun in the propaganda segments.

The story centers around Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien), who, after his parents perished in an asteroid strike, goes to war against the Bugs. On the way, Rico joins the famed Roughnecks and helps in the capture of one of the lead Bugs. The rest of the cast aren't big names, with the exception of Denise Richards, and they do an okay job in the acting department, which is the weakest point of the movie.

Overall, Starship Troopers is a nice sci fi movie that features some of the best special effects for its time. But unfortunately, aside from the great action, it's the acting from a pretty unknown cast that brings down the movie from being great. If you're looking for a good action movie, then Starship Troopers might satisfy your taste.
