Plot: Humanity's war against the bugs continues in this sequel to Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi soap opera epic, Starship Troopers. This time, when a squad of troopers is stranded on a bug-infested planet, their only hope for survival lies in an abandoned outpost, where things take a turn for the worse. A lone survivor by the name of Captain Dax (Richard Burgi) awaits them there, locked away for killing his crazed commanding officer. When a group of strangers arrives at the base, the squad is faced with a new threat from their alien enemy that will pit every surviving human against each other. With an army of bugs surrounding the compound and mysterious internal forces plotting against the group, it's up to Dax and Pvt. Lei Sahara (Colleen Porch) to try and hold out before the rescue team arrives. Effects maestro Phil Tippett (Star Wars, Jurassic Park) makes his directing debut in this made-for-cable movie that features a script by the series' original scribe, Edward Neumeier. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide

Good product. Glad to complete the series. Second movie was hard to find locally. Amazon is easy to use and the selections are great. I like using the paypal system and enjoy the ease of purchasing. I've purchased a variety of items and have yet to be sorry.

Not a bad horror movie.
Added 12/29/2008

Make no mistake, this is a low budget horror movie. It is faithful to the concept of the first movie. I could see the characters living in the same world as the the characters in the original. The special effects were decent. I liked that they cast Brenda Strong (as a very different character than in the original). The main characters are dynamic and interesting. I am glad I bought it.

Even the Comic Book guy would say, "Worst episode EVER!"

Starship Troopers, the book, was a great story by Robert Heinlein. Here's what I wrote in my review of it:

"This Robert Heinlein novel about a future Army Mobile Infantry recruit going through boot camp and into space battles is not so much about blasting multi-armed "bugs" into oblivion, but rather about the philosophical and ethical debates regarding military indoctrination and earning the right to call yourself a citizen. ...I had watched the Starship Troopers movie (liked it) and Starship Troopers II (on the top 50 list of worse movies ever). The book is less action, more intellectual debate."

So I repeat myself here. The book? Recommended. The first movie? Entertaining. And this bomb, Starship Troopers 2? Don't even think about giving it to somebody you are not fond of. This would be premeditated assault! No relevance to the original story, minimal connection to the movie, and... bad acting. Be warned! Robert Heinlein is rolling in his grave!

An absolute abomination i didnt watch more than the first 10 min
Added 10/31/2008

No special effects, horrible acting i actually only watched the first 15 min then started watching my kittens play with a ball for about 10 min then i just stopped watching it altogether. Looks like something that comes out of brand new actors, and a brand new director with no budget. You get the picture.

JUST ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE...
Added 9/9/2008

I can only say....don't pick it up, rent it, buy it, borrow it, or steal it.....it is so horrible and painful to watch I nearly cried. I believed they'd just killed a franchise I learned to love since first watching the animated series. I can't say anything else about this trash.....
