Starship Troopers | Neil Patrick Harris | Casper Van Dien | Paul Verhoeven | 1997 [Special Episode]
On this Special Episode of MovieByte Ruben and The Russian join a special guess to digest this 1997 cult classic.
Starship Troopers is a 1997 American military science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier, based on Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel by same name. The story follows a young soldier named Johnny Rico and his exploits in the Mobile Infantry, a futuristic military unit. Rico's military career progresses from recruit, to non-commissioned officer, and finally to officer, against the backdrop of an interstellar war between mankind and an insectoid species known as Arachnids.
Starship Troopers was released in November 7, 1997 and has names like Casper Van Dien, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris, Jake Busey, Clancy Brown, Rue McClanahan, Michael Ironside, Dina Meyer and Seth Gilliam amongst the cast.
The only theatrically released film in the Starship Troopers franchise, it received mostly negative reviews from critics upon release; however, in retrospect, reviews have become more positive, with many critics highlighting the film's political satire. It grossed $54.5 million in the U.S., and a total of $121.2 million worldwide, against a budget of $105 million. In 1998, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 70th Academy Awards. In 2012, Slant Magazine ranked the film #20 on its list of "The 100 Best Films of the 1990s".
The film has spawned several sequels – two live-action films, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004) and Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (2008), and two computer-animated films, Starship Troopers: Invasion (2012) and Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017).
