Freedom fighter Johnny Rico sets about training up an elite military unit in order to combat the alien invaders, while his girlfriend, Carmen, becomes a fighter pilot. However, in the heat of battle, Johnny is unaware that Carmen is being seduced by her dashing flight instructor. Review: A slick, sci-fi masterpiece - It has been nearly a full decade since Starship Troopers was released in 1997 and still the eye-popping CGI graphics still haven't been beaten. Just watch the film and you'll see that the graphics are absoloutly phenomenal, the alien arachnids and starships are very, very impressive and don't actually look like they should belong in a video game like many other CGI's. The film is set in a future where your either a civilian or a citizen. A civilian will not have the rights to own a house, have babies and many other things that should seem like privelages. On the other hand a citizen does have them rights because they will have done service in the military. Okay, now for the story: Young Johnny Rico (Casper van Dien) is in high school where his buddies including his girlfriend Carmen Ibanez (Denise Richards) join up to the military and become citizens. Seeing that Carmen is going, Johnny enlists too. Johnny ends up being a top infantry soldier while Carmen is a top Starship Pilot with Carl Jenkins (Neil Patrick Harris) who has an eye for Carmen (who wouldn't!). The training sequences are very merciless (see a drill instructor stick a soldiers hand to a wall with a knife to demonstrate how vital your hand is in battle and also breaking another soldiers arm) the training also seems quite fun with the pretend gunfights for example. The films battle scenes are mind-blowingly spectacular including giant exploding arachnids, severed limbs, plenty of decapitations, thousands of buckets full of gore creating an action packed splatter fest. Dutch director Paul Verhoeven still adds the satirical feel as he did in Total Recall and RoboCop and still keeping the cool ultra-violence as decribed before. He also makes the film not too serious like RoboCop with the tounge in cheek adverts and news bullet-ins. When I first watched it, it gave me an impression of a futuristic Full Metal Jacket, going through grueling training then going into horrific battle. All in all it is a fantastic movie, packed with gore, satire and humour that is sometimes is a little hysterical and for a great price it could well be yours! Review: DO YOU GET IT, IF SO BUY IT. CLASSIC MOVIE. - Do you want to know more? Then purchase you won't be disappointed, DO YOUUU GET ME.

Just watch the film and you'll see that the graphics are absoloutly phenomenal, the alien arachnids and starships are very, very impressive and don't actually look like they should belong in a video game like many other CGI's.

CLASSIC MOVIE. *by 9***N on 2 December 2025* Do you want to know more? Then purchase you won't be disappointed, DO YOUUU GET ME. WE GET YOU SIR, MEDIIIIC ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For the Connoisseurs *by A***K on 28 May 2017* I am going to assume that most of you who are reading this want to know about this blueray's contents and technical merits. There are at the time of writing this 4 ways of obtaining this movie on blueray here on Amazon: - the one I own and am reviewing here, call it the "Three Heads" version, apparently produced in 2008, the main feature starts up with the "Tristar"-logo. Starship Troopers [Blu-ray] [1997] [US Import ] - the version seen about most often, call it the "Ochre" edition, I own it too and my copy does not have a product date on it, the main feature starts up with the "Buena Vista International"-logo. Starship Troopers [Blu-ray ] - the steelbook limited collectors' edition, I have no further info on it. Starship Troopers - Limited Edition Steelbook - the "triple box set" of the three live-action movies in the franchise, which I also do not own. Starship Troopers 1-3 [DVD] [2008 ] Note that in the Amazon description of the Three Heads version there is talk of it being a DVD. It is NOT a DVD, it is a BlueRay disk. I am going to talk about the Three Heads version and how it differs from the Ochre version. TLDR; if you want to own the movie for the extra's, get the Three Heads, if you don't care about extra's and want a version with more audio and subtitle-options, get the Ochre. The Three heads differs mainly from the Ochre in that it has great menu's, the documentary 'Death from Above', FX- and Storyboard-comparisons and most importantly 2 commentary tracks that are simply a must for anyone who likes this movie. Extra's: The BlueRay features an interactive game which is reasonably fun. There is also a "Fed-Net Mode" where you are presented, during the movie, with a small Picture-in-Picture image of behind the scenes footage and interviews with cast & crew. And although at least a good part of this info is reiterated from some of the other extra's, they are presented here at their relevant moments during the main feature. Aside from the Fed-Net mode there is also the Blu-Wizard mode, where you can select which of the special features footage you want to start running automatically at their respective moments during playback of the main feature. I guess it's similar to the Fed Net mode, but it's presented in full screen, plus you cannot as far I can see watch the Fed Net mode material outside of the Fed Net mode, if that makes sense. Death from above is a pretty exhaustive 30-minute mini-doc on conception, production and all that jazz with interviews with cast and crew. The model-shop is visited, as well as the practical effects shop where the life-sized bugs and gore were created. There are even a few minutes with Denise Richards which is nice, since she's semi-privately stated she did not like the production or the final product. The FX-comparisons are a blast, where you are presented with full screen "raw-footage" of 9 different scenes with a small picture-in-picture bottom-right displaying the final scene as it is in the movie, all synced up. The StoryBoard-comparisons are done in the exact same vein and very nice too, although I would like to know if the SB-drawings we see in the main screen are by the designated SB-artist or buy Mr. Verhoeven himself, who reportedly story-boarded the movie as well, sometimes while on the set. The "scene-deconstruction with Paul Verhoeven" is also done in the same vein, although this time unshaded pre-viz animation replaces the storyboards. Where the extra features shine most however, are in the commentary-tracks. The actors and director track was recorded, if I deduced correctly, in the year 2007. It is clear that all participants are having a blast while sitting in the same room reminiscing anecdotes, jesting with each other and occasionally calling each other out on some event that happened during the shoot. Great stuff for lovers of the story and the characters, though I'd have loved Mr. Busey to have been present as well. The commentary track by Mssrs. Verhoeven & Neumeier caters more to those interested in the backgrounds of the production itself, but lacks not in the fun-department. There are no subtitles for either of the commentary tracks Lastly: the often maligned BD-Live functions that were more prevalent in the early days of the medium than they are now. Short story: they don't function for my hardware at least. My guess is that this service has been withdrawn from the servers. Presentation: The menu is simply gorgeous, with a hilarious animation of a warrior bug loosing it's front-palps between sliding doors shutting. The chapter selection menu offers custom bookmarks for your convenience. There is an in-movie menu-bar that lets you jump directly to the special features menu, unlike in the "Ochre" blueray which has atrocious navigation. The chapters are lain out differently between the two versions, so I guess that these were chosen somewhat arbitrarily during the mastering process. I give the Ochre versions a point for putting the credit-roll in a chapter of its own. Technical: Whereas this disk only has Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (tm), I suppose that's the best version to have for those who have a compatible system. I do not have such a system, but never noticed anything wrong or missing with the sound playing through my TV's speakers. The Ochre disk has more sound-options, but lacks TrueHD. Picture-wise both versions feel identical. Subjectively, I had a slightly more "cinematic" feeling with the Three Heads disk, whereas the Ochre one felt a bit more "crispy", if that makes any sense. Again, I think this was subjective. They are fine transfers and the actors even comment on this during the commentary track. Packaging: The version I got from a vendor in Canada has a bilingual front- and back cover and is in a slimline case with a latch for secure closing. As said: the artwork is horrible and seems Photoshopped by a very incompetent 10-year old (at no point in the movie does Carmen Ibanez wear infantry armor). What it does have however is decent art on the reverse side of the cover insert, visible through the translucent blue plastic case when in place. The Ochre Edition only differs positively with: - Movie Showcase: direct links to 3 of the movies most iconic scenes, - end credits have a separate chapter, - Teaser Trailer included (Three Heads has no Starship Troopers trailers at all, why?) - extra audio language: Spanish - extra audio options: 5.1 dolby & 5.1 DTS for all three audio languages - extra subtitles Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Denmark, Finland, Iceland Conclusion: If you want an as complete an experience as possible but only want to buy the movie once, get this one, the "three heads" bad photoshop cover, as contradictory as that sounds. If you are a true fan, get both the Three Heads and the Ochre, buy an empty dual disk BR case and insert the Ochre artwork over the three heads artwork. There: your personal "Ultimate Edition", at least until the the 25 or 30 year anniversary edition comes out :) (please Denise, give this movie some love when that time comes!) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.mx/products/51229753-disneys-starship-troopers-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.mx/products/51229753-disneys-starship-troopers-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Mexico* *Store origin: MX* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
