    Starship Troopers movie was unrealistic...

    ...in its portrayal of bug-human warfare.

    no?

    I was thinking that there would be more supersized roach motels, and the solders would look like the Orkin man

      Since when is a MOVIE supposed to be realistic? It's to provide entertainment...

      You probably liked all the lame ass movies that win awards too like A Beautiful Mind, Monsters Ball, Chicago...

      Movies are away to get away from real life so your mind can relax.

              I agree. No reason at all to send ground troops to the planet. They could have just used chemical warfare, conducted air raids with conventional weapons, or nuked it from afar. Had they simply obliterated the planet, there would have been no need to capture the so-called "brain bug" because they'd all be dead anyway. It was still pretty cool.

                          Loved the movie. Love Denise Richards. Love Dina Meyer.

                          How real would you expect a movie with intergalactic insect war to be if they don't equip the army with lasers?

                              What amused me was the fact they had all these super advanced star ships.

                              And they were fighting the bugs with machine guns.

                                  The thing is, an action film should have suspense and excitement.

                                  If you don't believe the story because it's too fantastical, it won't have suspense nor excitement.

                                  To enjoy a story you've got to be able to "Suspend your disbelief".

                                  Plot holes kill the belief in the story.

                                                    what fun would a sci-fi movie be if it was realistic?

                                                          I was pretty impressed by its special effects, and it was a damned exciting movie. Watched it too many times. And to me, Denise Richards looked her hottest in this movie and Wild Things. Now shes a boring blonde.

They could have just used chemical warfare, conducted air raids with conventional weapons, or nuked it from afar. Had they simply obliterated the planet, there would have been no need to capture the so-called "brain bug" because they'd all be dead anyway. It was still pretty cool.
                                                              Well, that's more like the original book by Robert Heinlein. The battles were taken to the bugs by much smaller numbers of ground troops, which had to be used because of their deep holes. But it was done much more believably. Each was dropped in a huge Mech-type suit. They could cover huge distances, take lots of damage and lob many tactical nukes against targets. The troops fanned out so far that they couldn't see one another.

                                                              There were NO machine guns in the original story. I can understand how the nuking mechs may have been tough to film convincingly, but the warfare in the movie came across as lame. They other aspects were pretty accurate to the story - fascist/nationalistic politics, female pilots, taking damage while dropping troops.
