For those that don’t know, when Carmen tried to evade the asteroid at 5:32, the part of the ship that got hit was for communication purposes. That’s why they weren’t able to warn Earth of the incoming asteroid.

[@Dailey100]

Also that impact would have been enough to alter the asteroid's course, causing it to hit the earth. To my understanding it's implied that asteroid was unrelated to the and used as a excuse to justify the war against the bugs.

Whats interesting is that even though the movie is satirical, the author of the book it’s based on genuinely believed only veterans should be allowed to vote

[@dejviidd]

Yeah. Imagine my surprise when reading the book after watching the movie and the book turned out to be very unironic pro military piece of fiction

[@garathrahl9640]

@@dejviidd I believe the director of the movie is/was, or the son of a Holocaust survivor, and when reading the screenplay decided the movie needed to be taken in a wildly different direction.

[@typie34]

Also this movie was even misunderstood before it was made. the director, Paul Verhoeven, didnt really like the book and didnt even read it all, just parts. when he made the movie in his usual satirical style he intended for the watchers to hate the humans and the fascist military government. Ironically, most people to this day can very well relate to the humans and think the military government is pretty effective.

[@Swodah]

@@typie34 I wouldn't say people call the government effective, the first attack on the bugs definately didn't impress anyone, but the idea that only people who serve society should be allowed to vote makes sense to a lot of people. ie: if you haven't ever paid tax you probably shouldn't have a say in where tax money should go. If you aren't willing to die for your people and the government that unites them, should you really be allowed to run for an office with any power? The most impressive part of the government in the movie is that they get replace the skymarshal immediatly after he fails, when our politicians make mistakes we see that the law doesn't matter, only that they are popular with the part(y/ies) in power. Democracy has it's issues, maybe we shouldn't just assume we have found the best version of it and keep trying to adjust it.

[@daeviant]

@@typie34 I didn't end up hating the humans. Instead I found the humans reckless and stupid. One thing I didn't notice until someone pointed it out to me literally a few months ago, is that NPH's uniform looks exactly like an SS uniform.

Yeah, it's one of those sci-fi flicks you really have to suspend your disbelief. I mean, they still use normal machine guns, no formations/tactics really. Everyone gets promoted in a few months etc. But it's a really great, timeless movie that really holds up.

[@rogueascendant6611]

The Starship Trooper is a movie premised from a book based on 1959 by Robert A. Heinlein. The imagination of sci-fi back then were still very early so the concept of traveling to one end of the galaxy to the other side is not yet researched. The novel is basically whatever you can imagined but add it with World War historical concept. The human part is that the humans were actually initiated the first contact war of the Arachnids. As they achieved space travel of whatever FTL they used that ends up in the other side of the galaxy. They encountered the Arachnids on a star system. The most unrealistic part of the series is how the hell the bugs able to traverse the vast distance of galactic space? That they can send a Bug Meteor that was able to reach Earth an annihilated a city in South America.

[@cartermoore58]

Did not expect to see Hank Schrader pull up

[@xzardas541]

One fun thing is that it is implied in the moves that asteroid was actualy a Federation leaders doing to save the regime suffering from massive internal instability. They wanted to give humanity common enemy, that would be defeated in massive asalut of combined forces from all planets across the Federation space. One tiny little problem was that they underestimated bugs as a mindless animals, an planet sized ant colony at best. And oh boy they were wrong as bugs were just as inteligent as humans and were even capable of interstellar travel turning short victorius war into meatgrinder. Absolutely hillarous how it backfired in spectacular way.

What a great movie 💯 💯 Do you know this movie features extensive use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) to create the giant arachnid-like alien creatures known as "Bugs." However, due to budget constraints, the production team had to find creative ways to save on CGI costs. To achieve this, they used miniatures and animatronic models for certain shots, blending practical effects seamlessly with the CGI.
