I was really expecting something a little different. I know, I know, it’s just Starship Troopers 3, and we rented it just to make fun of it, but it was still very different than expected.
The movie starts with the MPAA rating of R and even explains the reasons behind the rating. Well that just made us all try to predict which actress or actresses were in the movie solely to get naked and which ones were hired for their acting ability. Turns out three were hired to get naked and not a single person was hired for their acting ability. Oh, and watch out for dudity from Johnny Rico.
The long and short of the ‘plot’ involves a group of space marines crash landing on a bug infested planet and then arguing for the rest of the movie about the existence of God. The marine leader (and lounge singer) takes the side of the pro-God castaways but constantly gets that weird faraway look that means, “I’m either going to betray you all to the bugs, or I am a bug. Didn’t see that coming, huh?”
Good for a couple laughs, but mostly a waste of time.
