I’m not even sure if this is considered the fourth Starship Troopers movie, or just one of the many additional videos in the franchise. I can tell you this one is adult style animated, with nudity and swearing, so not a kids film.
It has a distinct first person shooter video game theme and feel. The first few minutes are mainly rapid fire shooting and high pitched alien bug screams, that drove our pet parrot into a crazy frenzy, and flew around the room screaming much like the dying bug monsters. I had to wonder if the origin of the bug squeals are angry birds.
It’s not a bad movie, relatively entertaining, but most likely only to fans of Starship Troopers.
One annoying thing in this story is how most of the male characters all look alike, and sound alike. It was hard for me to tell most soldiers apart. They all seem to have short spiky dark hair and similar muscular builds. You have to watch for scares and tattoos more than faces, cause these white people all look a like to me.
The few female characters look different, but also all sound the same. And they are shown naked as least as much as they are shown clothed, if that does anything for you. Full frontal nudity for the animated women, but not the men. No equal rights here.
5/10
