Starship Troopers, like Fight Club and American Psycho, is a member of a select group of movies whose satirical intent sailed right over the heads of many moviegoers. It's a deliberately over-the-top take on the war movie as militaristic propaganda, a film that's taking the mickey with its cast of beautiful, sexy people with beautiful, sexy bodies, beautiful, sexy teeth and beautiful, sexy guns set in a future America where you're only allowed to vote if you've served in the military and agree that violence is the answer to pretty much everything. If you've played Helldivers 2, this is where that game got all its ideas (and its killer alien bugs) from.
