An unhappy nostalgic journey

For a long time, I have always had an inexplicable affection for the "Starship Troopers" series. The first film in the series appeared in 1997, limited to the introduction of movies and online downloads at the time, and it was almost 2003 when I saw it. At first sight, I was shocked. The clanging sound of huge metallic Zerg races rampaging on the steel floor, human blood, screams, and fragmented limbs, even under the rough stunts of the time, It is also much more sensational than many current 3D+IMAX blockbusters. It is said that the original work itself has influenced the creativity of Warhammer 40K and starcraft. In the blink of an eye, the second movie came out in 2004. The plot did not seem to leave much impression. Only the giant Zerg whose tail can shoot a plasma cannon directly into the atmosphere brought some highlights to the Zergling all over the sky (it seems to be the first One part, then the second part is simply nothing bright). As for the third part of 2007, although it has been many years later, the use of technology is very limited compared to the old works 10 years ago. The setting of Cerebrates is no longer new in the alien world, but the original The simple and clear bloody killings in the series dilute.
This new cartoon is known as a joint production between the United States and Japan. From the anime style, lines and plot, you can also feel the delicateness of Japanese anime compared to the ruggedness of the American manga. In terms of plot, carl can control the setting of some Zerg , For the plot is also considered to have advanced. But overall, there is still the same problem as in the third part: not refreshing enough! It doesn't matter if there are no new units of the Zerg, human beings are still kinetic weapons on the whole, and even the lethality of the weapons has not been significantly improved. The exoskeleton armor seems to be strong and still pierced by a claw of the Zerg (it claims to be able to withstand the impact of shrapnel, if you are fighting with the Zerg, what about the bulletproof piece). The robot used by rico is a chainsaw, a rocket and a machine gun. Unfortunately, it’s an insignificant thing. It’s useless for 10 minutes and there is no signal on the cockpit display. In the end, it has to rely on a small hunting knife. Against the giant female insects two or three stories high, it fully carried forward the fine tradition of our army's millet and rifle, which made people unable to complain.
I don’t deny that every movie has a lot of plot parties or even textual research. They are concerned about the character and emotional entanglement, but as most audiences, especially male audiences, look at the picture of "Starship Paratroopers", not just a big gun. Is it the pleasure of a big bug? Of course, it is said that the original book contains many descriptions of human nature and sociology, so let's talk about it if you have the opportunity to read it.

Starship Troopers: Invasion quotes

  • Johnny Rico: [Opening Lines] I always get the shakes before a drop. I had the injections. Hypnotic prep. The Federation shrink scanned my brainwaves. Everything checked out. Doc says it wasn't fear. I could have told him that. A horse locked in the starting gate isn't afraid. He's just ready to run.

  • Carmen Ibanez: What the hell is this about, Carl?

    Dr. Carl Jenkins: Wonderful to see you again, Carmen.

    Carmen Ibanez: You commandeered my damn ship.

    Dr. Carl Jenkins: Borrowing it. I'll give it back.

    Carmen Ibanez: What do you want with my ship, Carl?

    Dr. Carl Jenkins: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Carmen, that's classified. But I can tell you this. This mission... oh, this mission will turn the tide.
