The war against the Bugs continues! A Federation Starship crash-lands on the distant Alien planet OM-1, stranding beloved leader Sky Marshal Anoke and several others, including comely but tough pilot Lola Beck. It's up to Colonel/General Johnny Rico, reluctant hero of the original Bug Invasion on Planet P, to lead a team of Troopers on a daring rescue mission.
_Starship Troopers_ is an amazing film, but one that, unfortunately, has never had a good sequel. Out of the bunch though, _Marauder_ is by far the worst.
_Final rating:½ - So bad it’s offensive. I may never fully recover._
Starship Troopers 3 actually has some fleeting similarities with the Robert A. Heinlein novel 'Starship Troopers'.
Unlike the the Paul Verhoeven movie that started the movie franchise and which I absolutely loved and have probably watched more than any other movie.
But I digress... If you have read the book, you may actually enjoy Starship Troopers 3. It's a very different offering to ST1 and is way better than the second movie.
"On the bounce" Which is a catchphrase in the movie, is also extensively used in the book. And has the same meaning as in the book. The Johnny Rico character in 3 also more closely resembles his counterpart in the book.
I certainly did not dislike this movie at all!
