Allowing for all the low-budget shortcomings that plague any straight-to-video production, Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation serves up 92 minutes of passable sci-fi action. Parlaying his veteran status as an animator, special-effects wizard, and stalwart survivor of the CGI revolution, Phil Tippett (with returning screenwriter Ed Neumeier) makes a woefully uninspired directorial debut with this makeshift sequel to Paul Verhoeven's 1997 blockbuster, retaining the jarhead militarism of Robert Heinlein's original novel while serving up more bugs, an all-new cast of attractive young stars, and all-too-familiar plot elements borrowed from a dozen better movies. "Bigger is better" is out of the question under such meager budgetary circumstances, so Tippett and Neumeier compensate with gruesome bugfights and gross-out effects at regular intervals, some standard-issue nudity, and escalating paranoia (echoing Carpenter's The Thing) when a new breed of bugs use human hosts (à la The Hidden) to overtake a stranded platoon of Federation soldiers on a bug-infested planet. Relying on murky confinement to hide nondescript sets, Troopers 2 has three engaging leads in its favor: TV regular Richard Burgi is solidly cast as the titular hero (he's the military equivalent of Pitch Black's Riddick); Colleen Porch is engaging as the most sensible Federation survivor; and screen veteran Ed Lauter makes the most of his salty role as a battle-hardened general. Unfortunately, they're adrift in a knock-off sequel (shot on high-def digital video) that could never do justice to its energetic predecessor. --Jeff Shannon

Starship Troopers, the book, was a great book by Robert Heinlein. Here's what I wrote in my review of it:
"This Robert Heinlein novel about a future Army Mobile Infantry recruit going through boot camp and into space battles is not so much about blasting multi-armed "bugs" into oblivion, but rather about the philosophical and ethical debates regarding military indoctrination and earning the right to call yourself a citizen. ...I had watched the Starship Troopers movie (liked it) and ...

No special effects, horrible acting i actually only watched the first 15 min then started watching my kittens play with a ball for about 10 min then i just stopped watching it altogether. Looks like something that comes out of brand new actors, and a brand new director with no budget. You get the picture.

I can only say....don't pick it up, rent it, buy it, borrow it, or steal it.....it is so horrible and painful to watch I nearly cried. I believed they'd just killed a franchise I learned to love since first watching the animated series. I can't say anything else about this trash.....

My Rating: 1.5 out of 5
The Good Things
*One or two neat special effects and action scenes.
*Some blood and nudity for those who enjoy that sort of thing.
*Remains mostly true to the concepts of the first movie.
The Bad Things
*Very low-value production. Many special effects, props, and sets look completely fake.
*Dull photography.
*The storyline is dull, uninteresting, and doesn't really continue with anything from the first film.

This movie is not terrible. It is just a very bad sequel to an admittedly poor original film. Clearly the budget was very limited, so all the money went on what little special effects there were - and those effects were I guess, OK. What is wrong is just the whole way this movie was put together. You know a movie is bad when you notice the editting. Some scenes simply end, the screen goes black and 3 or 4 seconds later, another unrelated scene starts. Unanswered quesions just lie there and wriggle, ... Read More
