Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/4 --
Lacking the sophistication of the average comic book, it compensates with panoramic attack sequences, reminiscent of the Japanese swarm attacks in American war movies.
Globe and Mail
...Fascinating....Featuring astonishing effects and some of the most harrowing battle scenes in movie history...
Sight and Sound
Rating: 3.5/5 --
A jaw-dropping experience, so rigorously one-dimensional and free from even the pretense of intelligence it's hard not to be astonished and even mesmerized by what is on the screen.

Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
One of the very best satires of the 1990s, if not beyond.

Alternate Ending
...Entertaining, engaging, exciting....With game, energetic, winsome performances...and effects that live up to the hype...
Box Office
Lacks the courage of the book's fascist conclusions.

The background of all this is one of the most openly satirical films of a director who has never lost his sense of humor. [Full review in Spanish]

Product Description:
Dutch director Paul Verhoeven (TOTAL RECALL, ROBOCOP) mixes big budget bug bashing with twisted satire of old Hollywood movies in this adaptation of Robert Heinlein's classic sci-fi novel. It's the future, Earth is at war, and the kids are all going off to fight giant killer bugs on the remote planet of Klendathu. Casper Van Diem, Denise Richards, Dina Meyer, and Patrick Muldoon play some of the blandly attractive young recruits who engage in soap-opera style love triangles as they toughen up and learn to fight (and die) like soldiers. Michael Ironside is their gung-ho, one-armed leader. The real stars though, are the superbly animated bugs. Packed to the rafters with jaw-dropping special effects and insane violence, the film managed to be a box office hit though it undoubtedly left some audiences confused at Verhoeven's slyly deadpan humor. By the time Neil Patrick Harris (TV's Doogie Howser) starts marching around in a Gestapo-style uniform, for example, it will be apparent this isn't STAR WARS. What it is however, is a rousing experience for mature viewers in the properly ironic frame of mind.
