Paul Verhoeven really knows how to make them. Simply an awesome movie with really good story and direction, and CGI that holds up pretty well even now.

 

9/10

[Crusader]

This is one of my favorite blockbusters of all time

 

 

Its just so great and cheesy and fun and action packed

 

 

They don't make em like this anymore ... Verhoeven is missed in today's Hollywood

[Dementeleus]

This is one of my favorite blockbusters even though it takes one of my favorite books and basically turns it to satire.

 

C'MON YOU APES, YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!

[The Futurist]

THIS MOVIE IS EVERYTHING.A+To kill the bug you must understand the bug.ARE YOU DOING YOUR PART ?

[The Stingray]

Yep, one of my favorites as well.

 

The enemy cannot push a button... if you disable his hand.

[Omario]

I give it an A just because it was so entertaining for its time.

No biggie.

It was a fun movie when I saw it.  The bugs looked awesome and looked like they were really killing the humans by tearing them up to pieces.

[Lordmandeep]

I think people did not get this movie when it came out.

 

It was not a serious film about a sci fi fantasy epic about saving the human race.

 

Was a satire on fascism and militarism. 

 

 

I remember watching as a kid wondering why in the future the army is using soviet union tactics. 

[Goffe]

I has been years since I wacthed this, but I remember loving it

the first half is full of over-the-top satire, but it loses its way with a long series of mindless action scenes, presumably to satisfy the 'entertainment' requirement of hollywood.

 

5/10

Nah, ST is too damn good to be demoted to "guilty pleasure".

Second half loses the satirical edge from the first half, and that shift is probably the most disappointing misstep in Verhoeven 's career. Basically, it becomes what they were satirizing.
