I don't know why this exists. Who asked for a fourth Starship Troopers movie?! Did you, whoever you are, also request that it be totally CGI? It seems terribly odd to me. I don't know why anybody made Troopers 1-3 either, to be honest, but at least those employed living human beings. And Casper van Dien.A starship full of troopers goes to a colony on a rescue mission. A government bureaucrat named Carl Jenkins (Justin Doran) commandeers the ship and takes off for parts unknown, leaving the captain (Luci Christian) to scramble aboard the next ship with the remaining survivors. She is not pleased and immediately petitions for a chase and retrieval. They locate the missing ship only to find it is overrun by the aliens they have spent this entire franchise fighting. Chaos ensues.
This whole movie was like one giant cut scene from a first-person-shooter video game. The animation is terrible. It looks worse than Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and that movie came out over a decade before this one. And it's not even suitable for children, what with the explicit language and violence. There's even animated nudity, which might bother some people, but honestly, they're so poorly animated they bear as much resemblance to real bodies as a Barbie doll does. As I said, the existence of this movie baffles me.
This was probably a "hold onto the rights" movie, like the Sony Amazing Spider-Man films, and Canon/Fox Fantastic Four. The best ST movie was easily the first one, and it looked so cheesy I skipped it for several years.
