Starship Troopers: Invasion

Enjoyable CGI cinematic action from Japan, where a group of mercenaries fight space bugs on a spaceship. The plot is very simple, but the visuals are nice, even if you have to take into account that the film is 12 years old, so it's more PS2-PS3 graphics than PS 5. It's R-rated, so all the ladies show up naked, and the soldiers also squirt a fair amount of blood, while the bugs are oozing slime. The spaceship setting is properly claustrophobic and the atmosphere is similar to Alien.Too bad there aren't more monsters and it's all limited to the bugs and the queen, it gets a bit repetitive after a while, but not many movies like this are made (which I'm surprised such movies aren't released in cinemas), so I'll round up to 4 in the end. 70% (09.05.2024)

I must admit that this came to me purely by chance. When I started watching it, I didn't really know that it was an animated film. The animation is of a high level, as is often the case with films made in Japan or in collaboration with Japan. The 3D is really good here, and gentlemen will especially appreciate it when some of the heroines appear naked. It really suits them and one wonders if the time when 3D films will be shot on a large scale and the characters will be truly believable, almost real, is not so far away. Well, I'm exaggerating, but some sequences look really beautiful and I wondered if it was really pure animation or if something real was involved. The story of the film is very simple. A spaceship that was on a mission for oversized bugs is returning. However, its return is not easy because it is sent on another mission along the way, even though no one really wants to. Nothing can be done, the army is the army. They are in for a big surprise, as the title of the film suggests. It is not a strong experience, I mainly admired the great graphics, which did not lose their quality even in the fight scenes, rather the opposite. The story is clichéd and simple, but here it is primarily about the action, which is presented excellently. Some speeches at the end probably won't touch your heart, but if you like the game "StarCraft," I think you will enjoy this and you can even imagine it as a part of the universe of the video game from Blizzard. The connection to the "Starship Troopers" series is not that significant here. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/08/parmeni-krysy-z-temnot-mi-4-blazniva.html (26.02.2013)
