      Logic chaotic love action blockbuster

      It's a very lively film at first glance, and think carefully about all kinds of unreliable films.
      The transportation capacity, attack power and defense power of our future world are seriously out of line: huge giant ships that stably fly between galaxies, and shuttle back and forth is as easy and convenient as going home on vacation. Do the directors and writers know how much speed it takes to quickly travel back and forth between two planets with a suitable temperature and atmosphere?...

      What you see in it is what

      Whether a film is boring and exciting can depend on many factors, but I believe that the mood and mentality of a person watching the film are also factors that cannot be ignored.
          I hate violent and gory movies, maybe I'm a little timid, maybe I just feel disgusted. This is a very old film, so old that it can be traced back to the childhood memories of more than ten years ago. Oh, I didn't seem to watch it at that time? But it's not really a movie that kids should watch....

      Reminds me of the days of the video room

      The first time I saw this film was in the summer of 1998, when I just got the admission letter. In that era of lack of entertainment, except for animation and video games, it was video. In the dim theater in my hometown, full of the smell of smoke, body odor, sweat and some unknown smell, most people came in to buy tickets for the boss to release a third-level movie. According to common sense, the third-level movies are generally released at 12:00 in the middle of the night. In order to cope...

      An outdated classic, a current crappy movie

      1. Humans have invented interstellar battleships and still use weak rifles? It just doesn't seem to have much effect on bugs in the movie. . .
      2. Is it so hard to fight a bug? Even if you can't use genetic technology to kill the Zerg, you should use some biological weapons, right? Take a ten thousand steps back and say, without mechas, robot corps, and horses, at least they have to bombard tanks with planes and overwhelm the last infantry occupation strategy, right? Why do you only see...

      war is peace

      I believe that friends who have read "1984" will not be unfamiliar with this title, but after reading this novel and watching this "Starship Troopers", the feeling is completely different.

      This movie has the best interpretation of the title sentence among the sci-fi movies I have ever seen.

      I have a bad problem with people who like to compare. Take the 2012 edition of Total Recall as an example, and I'm just talking about its political stability. One man, one living man,...

      I really can't figure out why a 1999 movie uses crowd tactics~ Even a nuclear bomb has to be thrown by hand, it's nonsense! ~ PS: There is actually a Barney~~~ Haha, still with that expression~ It's very funny, and it can also be...

      The movie I watched when I was in elementary school, at that time, the movie theater played a very vulgar name: War of Humans and Insects. I remember being horrified by the gore and nausea. When I was in middle school, I was keen on science fiction, only to know that it was originally adapted from the works of science fiction master Robert Heinlein. Today, I watched a documentary discussing film editing. The director said that the film borrowed the style of Riefenstahl's "Victory of Germany"....

    Movie preparation

    The idea for the filming of this film originated from "Robocop" producer Jon Davidson and screenwriter Ed Neumeier. The film is adapted from the science fiction novel "Starship Paratrooper" by Robert Heinlein. Davidson read this novel in his childhood, and he still clearly remembers the fierce controversy that the novel caused in the following years. They hope to maintain the political characteristics of the original text in the...

    Production process

    The main filming of the film kicked off on April 29, 1996, first at Hell's Half Acre, 45 miles outside Casper, Wyoming, and then to South Dakota. Since the locations used as extraterrestrial scenes in the film are very remote, it is a difficult problem to solve the board and lodging of 500 people in the crew. Every day, the crew must take the cast and crew who live in various places to the studio. Producer Marshall raised the...

    "Star Wars" was a very ambitious and ambitious film that year. Paul Van Hoven mixed elements of war films and monster films, and then used the most advanced CG technology at the time to produce a series of Space Giant, hopes to use this movie to open up the Xinjiang realm of sci-fi action movies. Of course, in a sense, Van Hoven’s attempt was very successful. The visual impact and entertainment effects of the film are top-notch, but...

    Negative Evaluation of

    The film faithfully represents Heinlein's militarism, the national consciousness of the boss, and killing a friend before insects eat him is the most noble value. The subconscious mind is the most interesting aspect of this film. ( " Chicago Sun " review
    The word "spider" was described in the movie very contemptuously, and it began to sound like "Iraqis", and indeed, we soon saw the elite group in the bug being suppressed in their...
