Despite the dated tech its much closer to the book than that awful one with Casper Van Dean.

If the MI suits just looked more like CBT Elementals... Since that's arguably closer to what the book describes.

The Matrix and Fifth Element trailers look cool too! :)

It's no closer. It's still ridicules fascism, as was Verhoeven's intent, and it still posits his specific choice of using hordes of troops, All Quiet on the Western Front-style, rather than the small, elite forces of the novel. It's the movie with a facelift. It's only at the end title of the AI production that we get anything approaching the novel, specifically this cover.


It's still pretty, and the movie is one interpretation of the book focusing on themes the director has a personal, visceral relationship to.

There's always the Japanese anime-version

And all of a sudden, Casper Van Dean isn't so bad.

Actually, the Japanese version was more true to the book.

I thought that was MUCH better than the live action version...

I for one, liked the starship troopers movie.

IIRC, three live action ones, two CGI ones and the CGI animated series (not counting the anime version).
