Starship Troopers
1997 · Paul Verhoeven · 130 min · Sci-Fi, Action, Satire
Starship Troopers is a film that gets smarter the longer you think about it. Verhoeven built a fascist propaganda film and then dared audiences to cheer along, and the fact that so many did only proves his point. The creature effects are spectacular, the action is visceral, and the satire cuts deeper with every rewatch. It demands that you look past the surface, and it generously rewards those who do.
