The vast and spectacular hardcore future war

Movies I've seen in the VCD era. When I was a teenager, I had no resistance to this kind of special effects + yellow storm + heavy taste and curiosity.

When I grew up and brushed twice, it felt a little different.

Although it is a developed society, classes and division of labor still exist. The male protagonist takes the initiative to join the army because of his poor academic performance, and is despised by people with high IQs. On the other hand, the female No. 1 directly drives the spaceship. The gap between the academic bully and the academic scumbag is indeed a world phenomenon, and it can even surpass social development.

The male and female protagonists, the bitter couple, got to know the second female and the second male respectively when they misunderstood the other party's change of heart or died. The setting of the female No. 2 is neat. Not only did she take the initiative to send guns, but she also contributed the most fragrant shots in the film. The male No. 2 setting is annoying and belongs to the standard third party. But the ruthless screenwriter treated them indiscriminately, and the two women and two men were eventually killed. The obstacles to the reconciliation of the male and female protagonists are cleared, and the follow-up should be without any scruples on the road of love, but what I remember in my heart is only the girl who was warm and nephrite in the tent of the military camp. . . What a pity

The battle scene is really good, even if the special effects are very developed now, it is definitely not out of date. The dense Zerg army is extremely imposing, giving people a feeling of despair. The cooperation between the various insect species also makes people feel very innovative. In contrast, the human army's attack methods are relatively limited. Except for the infantry to take a big gun and rush forward to die, there is no very efficient attack method, and there are no multiple firepower cooperation in real wars. If it weren't for the luck to finally catch the Bug King, it is estimated that he would be wiped out by the group.

In the follow-up film, there was also a PS version of the clearance game, which is also very good. I don't know why there is no sequel to the main story.

Starship Troopers quotes

  • [as the unloading of Mobile Infantry from the starfleet continues, one transport is hit and destroyed by planetary bug plasma energy fire as hundreds of plasma energy bolts are flying all around the starfleet]

    Captain Deladier: This isn't random or light. Someone made a mistake.

    Zander: That's it. Drop status is 100%. We're empty, ma'am.

    [suddenly in front of them, a starship's starboard engines are hit by plasma energy fire. Captain Deladier, Carmen and Zander look in horror as the ship veers off course and crashes into another starship, setting both afire]

    Captain Deladier: Someone made a BIG goddamn mistake! Break for high orbit! Evasive action, now!

  • Carl: So you haven't done it yet, have you? Don't lie!

    Johnny Rico: I'm not in any hurry.

    Carl: [Indicating Dizzy Flores] Others are waiting.

    Johnny Rico: [Looking at Dizzy] Did you read her mind?

    Carl: Don't have to. It's pretty clear what she wants.

    Johnny Rico: Yeah, but I want Carmen.

    Carl: Oh, you got it bad!
