Starship Troopers: Invasion

Boobies, two horny soldiers fucking like rabbits, despite being complete strangers, then blood is spilled everywhere. The movie tries so hard to keep the audience engaged that you can't help but notice how weak the story is by the end. But who cares about that when there are boobies to focus on, am I right?

This movie is a prime example of mindless action. You don't need to pay attention because the focus is solely on action and cheap shocking scenes. If you're familiar with American horror movies, you'll recognise all the cliches that this movie shamelessly borrows from. It's like a teenager's fever dream, complete ... with nudity and sex.

The story is as bland as a piece of bread without butter. It revolves around a failed experiment with some big-ass insects that nobody knows where they came from. The soldiers must rescue passengers on a ship, fight the bugs, and eventually everyone kills each other until the end. Yawn.

The characters are as generic. We have a horny man who's blinded by love, a blonde seductress who's only there for fan service, the virgin comic relief who complains about being virgin, a shy coward nice guy, a scientist asshole. Oh, and of course, the serious badass white hero you see in every American horror-action b-film. The only passable character is Tia Durer (or Trig), because she actually shows emotions and has goals that were story relevant making her stand out from the rest of the characters. The movie could have been so much better if she were the main character.

I appreciate the art design, but I can`t say the same for the disgusting green blood, and the soundtracks, including the catchy credit song, were so forgettable that it`s like a distant memory.

Overall, don't expect a riveting story or well-developed characters from this movie. However, if you're in the mood for some mindless action and sex, then this movie is worth a watch. You could treat it as a guilty pleasure at best.
