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.
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.

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.
Actually the most unrealistic thing I noticed when I first saw it was the dead bodies! They looked SO FAKE!
On another note, I just was the first disk of the special features for the Lord of the Rings I - two fucking disc for special features. Did you notice how much fucking deatil they put in that shit, they had their own people making armor and everything. They made their own chainmail (LINK BY FUCKING LINK) and forge their own steal for the sorws and armor! Can you blieve that shit?
