@@warmonger12z well, the invasion was clearly rushed, driven by a sense of urgency to retaliate and pure arrogance on the Federation’s part. Keep in mind, all through the training, Rico and the rest of his squad were being trained to fight other humans, not Arachnids. The Federation seemed to just assume that because they had starships and guns, taking out the Arachnids would be a cakewalk. They didn’t even take into account the sheer punishment a single basic Arachnid warrior could take before dying, let alone thousands of those things swarming you. The fact that they were routed off the planet less than fifteen minutes after landing speaks volumes about how unprepared they were.

Why is no one talking about the bug artillery? Capable of not only seeing enemy spaceships from the surface of the planet but can calculate their speeds and flight paths. They then time their long-ranged, slow moving projectiles perfectly to fly among the fleet, possible accounting for prevailing winds and the rotation of Klendathu, and taking out some ships and dropships. They did all of that without the aid of satellites and computers. I'm just noticing this after all these years. Damn, these bugs are smart!

[@Imdrunkontea]

Those artillery bugs had futures. They had dreams. Bob wanted to become an engineer. Tracy wanted to go for her doctorate. When the humans arrived, they gave up those dreams to defend their homes. They did so, knowing that their sacrifice meant their children may have a brighter, more peaceful future.

Well they did literally hit Buenos Aires with a space rock launched all the way from Klendathu. The Arachnids are an advanced space faring race.

So you're telling me a race that has transport bugs the size of a small moon, that has landed on and colonized dozens if not hundreds of systems, has plasma bugs that can hit transports in planetary orbit, and brain bugs that literally posses psionic powers can't crash one rock into another rock? Sure. They can do planetary landings all millenia but crashing a rock into Buenos Aires is beyond their abilities. Get real.

Heinlein dialled the fascist propaganda up to 11 in the book - Verhoeven used scenes like this to undercut that.

The movie was made by the director to be a satire of Facism. The whole scene was the point of not underestimating your opponents, yet at the same time they were somehow a threat that could lob an asteroid across the galaxy.

Спецэффекты фильма 1997 года, выглядят лучше, чем некоторые фильмы 2020-2024 года

[@JoaoSoares-rs6ec]

in term of image its very well done, in terms of military tactics and stratefy, a complete disaster.

0:21 Notice the guy fell during the march in the centre line, then just casually walking thinking the directors going to cut hahahahahah

[@krashlyboo]

Love the automatic flares that light the LZ

[@Izzyduude]

Hands down some of the most clueless people. We got Rambo charging in, the lady freaking out and not staying with her platoon, the news people who don’t understand that staying in the front is a shitty idea and then Rico pausing to admire his kill and not getting away. That’s a bold strategy Cotton let’s see how it pans out.

Satire, ma dude.

[@kronos0007]

Later on they also state they underestimated the bugs

[@ericvizsla]

That bug who kidnapped that lady, what do you think happened to her? I thought the bugs didn’t take prisoners 😮

[@yami122]

@@ericvizsla Her brain's getting sucked out by a brain bug that you discover later in the movie exists

People will go and say. "SAATIRREEE!!" But forget that in order for satire to work. _It kinda needs to be funny.. It's just.. Stupid man, just stupid._

[@ghaspar]

Damn, these stratagems dont come easy

[@rethabileoliphant6367]

Such an underrated & misunderstood film. A genuis satirical takedown of facsism. If only this film came out in 2017 instead of 1997. People would've understood it better..

FOR DEMOCRACY!!!! Yeah, Helldivers brought me here 😅

I loved this movie when I was a kid,

[@Makonowski]

I love how they use guns But fuck it, we gonna stand 5 meters from them xDDD instead of 1 km :p

[@bigmike6669]

I hear what you saying brother but we wouldn’t have this gem of a movie without the retardation🤣

[@noel5141]

I always loved the utilitarian design of the capital and dropships. I can see where Halo pulled the inspiration from.
