Speaking out my written review on Starship Troopers 2.
Written Review:
This movie has both parts I like and dislike about this movie. Being a straight to DVD title, it’s not too bad, I have seen A LOT worse (Sci fi I’m looking at you, or should I say “SyFy”). Basically you have this group of people pinned down in a bias against the bugs in this base like structure. The acting is good at times, but you do have some of those weird sequences in the movie. Unlike the first movie’s DVD you have some behind the scenes footage.
I personally think this movies story doesn’t really shine compared to the first movie, but still better than most “straight to” movies. The TV segments only appear in the beginning and ending of the movie, which was disappointing. Also this movie tries to do horror, and I was never scared through the entire movie. The ideas they have during the course of the movie (not saying since it’s a spoiler) is the best part of the movie and gives a nice twist to the starship universe.
The guns look pretty stupid in this movie, mainly being the blue flash. The weapons look mostly like the first movie, but now they literally have this blue light bulb on the end of the gun and shoots like energy bullets, which is so different then the first movies, but being a low budget film I guess it kind of gets a pass. (In the commentary they said the cost of blanks in the first movie cost them around 500k).
The sound effects are decent for a low budget film, and you can tell some of the soundtrack is semi copied off others, but some are good original ones. You still have the nice sounds of the bugs, and I’m sure they had a whole catalogue of them from the first film. Bugs look pretty good in this film, and the deaths have good CG effects to them. I think I only saw a few obvious CG sequences.
The commentary was started only a few hours after they finished shooting it, and you find out they are drinking wine and Champaign, which was amusing, especially when they popped the Champaign cork into someone. Behind the scenes was pretty insightful to the movie, and I found out that the director (Phil) created the creatures in the first movie. They also show you some storyboard sequences with commentary.
I think this film is worth picking up, I enjoyed it and it was a cool idea, especially being a low budget film. But being in the Starship universe I was hoping for more space battles and more planets instead of being cramped into a single area.
