Bringing back Johnny Rico at least!

STARSHIP TROOPERS 3: MARAUDER, third in the series and released in 2008, should thank its lucky stars that the truly horrid HERO OF THE FEDERATION came before it, in effect NOT making MARAUDER the worse entry in the series. Like HERO OF THE FEDERATION, MARAUDER is a direct-to-video release. And while not as cringingly unbearable as HERO OF THE FEDERATION, it's a pretty bad movie. Still, this one tries to instill a sense of humor on the screen, so the satire and campiness earn it some style points. A decade after the events of the first [[ASIN:B000OVLBHG Starship Troopers]] movie, the future of humanity and the Federation is still very much up in the air. The alien bugs keep on pressing. Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien), now a grizzled veteran and a Colonel, is still doing his part. Except he still tends to go his own way, instead of playing party politics. This lands him in trouble with a former friend, now an officious General. Court martialed and about to be hanged, Rico is given a last-second reprieve when he's offered command of a covert mission, the objective of which is to rescue troopers stranded on OM-1, a quarantined bug planet which houses possibly the most dangerous bug of all. Oh, man, STARSHIP TROOPERS 3: MARAUDER. So bad it's funny, and with enough cheese to get a decent wine tasting under your belt. Given, the budget is very meager. So right away you lose that epic scale shown in the first film. The special effects are, naturally, less than stellar. Explosions which won't wow anyone, cheap-looking shots of Federation vessels in space, gore which is more hokey than gory, and bugs which aren't convincing. The bugs here look like creatures on loan from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers or, perhaps more aptly, from the [[ASIN:B0009I8QI6 Roughnecks - The Starship Troopers Chronicles - The Complete Campaigns]] animated series. Not to knock the Roughnecks cartoon, because that was pretty awesome. But there's a difference between CG work in a cartoon and the CG in a live action flick. And, really, when the danger doesn't look real, how can you invest in the peril? The film title "Marauder" refers to the code name given to Rico's seven-man crew tapped to undertake the secret ops to OM-1. They get to gear up in the latest line of mobile infantry armor. Thing is, these gynormous armor suits only show up the last few minutes of the film, and they end up being more anticlimactic than anything else. And you can't blame the tiny budget on the dubious story and script. And the acting? Baaaad, brother, it's bad. Casper Van Dien, not about to ever win an acting award, is still the best actor here, which says something about the rest of the cast. But the film could've definitely used more of Johnny Rico in action and less of Jolene Blalock and her very exasperating group on the bug planet. I had some hopes for Jolene, she of the sexy Vulcan role in [[ASIN:B0007TKH66 Star Trek Enterprise - The Complete First Season]]. But, it turns out, she wasn't good, either. By the way, after her years playing the stoic T'pol, it startles me to bits to see her crack a smile, let alone laugh. But whatever good will she'd accrued during the film evaporated with her ridiculous final 15 or so minutes on screen. Other than bringing back Johnny Rico, the thing that comes close to (but not quite) making MARAUDER watchable are the satiric elements. The FedNet just keeps on churning out those optimistic, jingoistic wartime propaganda. There are even scheduled hangings of Federation traitors broadcasted on air. You don't have to be a deep thinker to get all the not-so-veiled references to certain topical issues. Politics, religion, nationalism, the war on Iraq. Check, check, check, and check. They're delivered hammily and heavy-handedly, yes, but, here and there, they are insidiously enjoyable. To my shame, I also got a kick out of Sky Marshal Anoke, who is psychic and moonlights as a pop star. The Sky Marshal's hit "It's A Good Day to Die" can be seen in its extended version in the bonus features. Speaking of the bonus features, there are two audio commentaries, one by the writer/director Ed Neumeier and actors Casper Van Dien and Jolene Blalock, the other by Ed Neumeier again and also by the visual effects supervisor and the producer. That the cast and crew have the gall to be self-congratulatory in their comments boggles my mind a bit. But, in a weird way, props to them for being so audacious in turning a blind eye to what's really what. I guess, in their defense, what else could you expect them to say? That this movie is earth-shatteringly messed-up and you shouldn't see it? There are two featurettes: "Evolution: The Bugs of Starship Troopers 3: Marauder," focusing on the bug special effects, and "Enlist! Marauder' Mobile Infantry," the Making Of segment, spotlighting the cast. STARSHIP TROOPERS 3: MARAUDER isn't quite HENRY V. Not when the motivational speeches here go along the lines of "You know what to do. Get in there and kill them all!" or that old chestnut "C'mon, you apes! Do you wanna live forever?" I read the Heinlein novel ([[ASIN:0441783589 Starship Troopers]]) and really liked it. And I thought that the first STARSHIP TROOPERS was just great, never mind that the critics panned it or that it never made huge box office duckets. Going in, I suspected MARAUDER was going to be weak, and it is. It doesn't even qualify as a guilty pleasure. And yet it's not as stinky as HERO OF THE FEDERATION, so that badge, at least, this film could wear very proudly. Irregardless, Johnny Rico rocks!

Starship Trooper II is as least as good as the original. The special effects, acting, social commentary and gore levels are on par with Verhoeven's first effort. Although he did not direct this one, he did produce it. There is again gratuitious nudity as in the first, showing that male and female Mobile Infantry troopers are equal. Sadly it does not include Joelene Blalock (Topol of Star Trek: Enterprise). We do get to see her sweaty in a t-shirt, but not in the nude group body scanning scene. What I particularly liked was the introduction of the Marauder, which if you never read the book, was the basis for the MOBILE in Mobile Infantry. In Heinlein's book, all the infantry were housed in robo-mechanical suits that allowed them to take assisted leaping strides of a mile, which allowed a squad to cover an area the size of Texas in an afternoon. Find bugs? No problem, they would nuke them with tactical nukes launched from shoulder mounted launchers carried on the suit. While the Marauder in the movie is more like a MechWarrior than the original suit envisioned by Heinlein, it is a step forward and away from the retarded mass charges and cattle herd movement that passes for tactics in the first two movies. Weapons? Don't get me started. The Federation can travel to the stars but cannot field an infantry weapon that can vaporize a bug in one shot instead of taking 100? Puhleeze! I get tired of watching the troopers stand and chew up a bug with 200 rounds when even today, we have weapons that could do the job with one round. I guess Mobile Infantry doctrine is to let the bugs have a fighting chance to make it interesting. As to the religious connotations, the previous reviewers evidently missed the irony and sarcasm. Humans mistaking a giant brain bug as God? The lights on a lander highlighting a person's head as an angelic halo? Come on. Then the Federation goes all opportunistic much like the Holy Roman Empire...if you can't beat them...co-opt it for your own use and go all crazy with it. The last faux news reports highlight the fact that the Federation is about as religious as was Hitler. Too funny. It is a good popcorn and beer movie. Well worth the rental or used purchase.

The story itself isn't terrible, but this is not Starship Troopers. This just seems like sci-fi writers got their hands on the Starship Troopers props and costumes and just decided to roll with it. They didn't understand why the first is so beloved. They missed the point. This, and the second, are simply cash grabs using the popularity of the first.

Usually it's in the writing that sequels take a bad turn. The writing here is excellent. Unfortunately, and I will never understand this, but this movie just obviously did not have the budget it needed. I will never understand how that is possible after the fantastic success of the first starship troopers. But... Things happen. At least we can appreciate this for what it is. The world building here is good. The original RICO returns and he's awesome.

"Starship Troopers 3" was exactly what I was hoping for - a *worthy* sequel to the first one, which is one of my favorite scifi movies. The satire is laid on a lot thicker this time, probably because so many people missed it the first time around (the singing Sky Marshall made me laugh; also, the use of religion as wartime propaganda is spoofed quite mercilessly). Amazingly, Van Dien has hardly changed since the first one - except that now he's even more buff - and he acts well. He seems to feel comfortable in the role, and it seems like he and the other cast members had a great time filming it. Even the special effects were surprisingly good for such a relatively low-budget movie (even great at times; pretty bad at other times, but we're forgiving), and most important of all, the *story* felt like a good follow-up to the first movie, which was not the case with SST2. Also, I loved the marauder suits, even though they have relatively minor screen time. Which begs the question: what are the odds that there will be a SST 4?

I saw the original "Starship Troopers" when it first came out and, although it was campy, it was an okay flick. This follow-up sequel is even campier than the original, but then I suppose that's no accident, so ... suspend disbelief along with any notion you might have that it will live up to Star Trek, Star Wars, or even Battlestar Galactic in terms of SpFX or storyline, and just enjoy the battles between the humans and the bugs. There's lots of bugstastic guts and gore, and even a few human heads and assorted body parts flying around in most of the battle sequences. Like the original SST, it was an okay flick.

Having seen all three Starship Trooper movies, I would rank this one at least comparable to the first. The second movie of the 3 was the one which I could not recommend. Some reviewers seem to think the special effects were not that good but I thought that was only partially true. Some scenes could have been done better but there were some good bug-blasting battles which one would expect from Starship Troopers and some of the special effects were first rate. Atheists may be offended by the very definite and, to me, inspiring references to God in this movie but they can console themselves with most other movies Hollywood puts out which only mention God as an expletive. Starship Troopers is good, sci-fi fun. Johnny Rico obliterated a whole bunch of bugs. The Federation is still going strong. The appearance of the Marauder suits was a blast and it is even possible in the sci-fi world of the future to have reverence for the Creator. Wow. What more could you want?
