I have to say I was extremely excited for this movie. Rated R, animated ( don't have to deal with the constrictions of a live movie budget as we've seen in the sequels) but over all I was a little disappointed.
I always have high hopes for this franchise and it seems that it never gets a fair shake to shine.
Upsides : graphics are pretty good, You feel slightly nostalgic watching it, you get to see bugs die, some animated nudity ;)
Downsides : Lame plot, could have been something much more then it is. The graphics were good but when it came to the actual humans it felt like you were watching a metal gear cut scene. You only start having some fun watching this movie in the last 20 - 30 minutes.
All in all even though Roughnecks was made about 13 years ago, I would rather take have another couple episodes of that series then this.
The only reason I rated it a 7 is I love starship troopers, Favourite movie of all time, it should be a huge franchise but this movie probably won't appeal to anyone but die hard fans.
