The war with the bugs rages on, with humanity starting to lose, but something about god and wining and things.

This started off as a great or at lease decent tv-movie, but its “wrap up” took enough of a nosedive to spoil it. It has a much higher budget and is generally better than part two, but.. that ending, man. That ending. This is still worth a once-watch for fans of the original.

• 1:00 — Federal PSA / news

• 1:30 — Trench

  • I hear they have machines for digging now.

• 2:15 — Good general policies to squash dissent when the survival of the species is at stake. Where it’s bad for a country or a cult, throwing away freedoms would be perfectly fine if the stakes are really that high.

  • Of course, what happens after a war when these extreme measures are entrenched is another matter.
• 3:30 — “Would you like to buy more”, heh.
• 5:30 — That’s Rico, and played by the original actor in Starship Troopers – (1997 movie).
• 7:30 — Aww, a replacement actor.
• 8:00 — Yep, mixed-sex military works so well. Definitely no relationships encouraging breach of security.
• 10:45 — “It’s a good day, to fry.” is a take off of “it’s a good day to die”, whose source I didn’t find at a glance.
• 12:30 — Isn’t their attitude rather harshly punishable now?
• 14:00 — The general’s square hair really bothers me.
• 17:15 — Wouldn’t they have hardpoints in place, with turrets and all sorts of fun defensive measures?
• 18:00 — Aren’t the MPs around to keep him detained?
• 20:15 — Someone ran out of ammo!
• 21:00 — Yay, grenades!
• 25:00 — What, she’s using her wiles to undermine duty?
• 28:45 — Yeah, there’s nothing undermining authority.
• 29:15 — “Shit on a shingle” was coined by the U.S. military during World War II, regarding chipped beef on toast.
• 30:00 — The thing about balance is that any wax of good will be countered by a wane.
• 33:15 — They would know an exact head count and the names of every man there.
• 33:30 — Did someone report on Rico’s charges? Because his superior was probably dead, and nobody who survived that would tattle.
• 35:15 — Oh, his superior did live after all. So the dick really did want to get his old friend killed.
• 36:30 — The right-side wall has a picture of the hero from the previous movie.
• 37:00 — Yeah, classified.
• 39:00 — I still vaguely recognize her, but I’m still unable to place her.
• 41:30 — And I’m sure god is everywhere, laughing at all the poor humans dying by the hundreds of thousands.
• 43:00 — Wouldn’t all of that be televised?
• 45:45 — Or they’re being herded so they can be captured.
• 46:15 — I’m not bothering to look up the song she’s singing.

• 49:00 — Casual .. is that sexism? If it’s adulating, then I don’t see why. Hell, the actor gave permission and so did the fictional character.
• 50:30 — Rico’s over-acting is annoying as hell.
• 57:00 — Yeah, obvious artificial sinkhole is obvious. But I thought the doctor would be kept for a while longer, and the weenie cook would be the one to go.
• 59:15 — So has his clearance been revoked or something?
• 1:01:00 — Federal PSA / news
• 1:02:30 — Even, and especially, a cook would have military training.
• 1:03:15 — It would have been better to stick to high ground.
• 1:04:30 — Those guns are not appropriately-sized.
• 1:07:15 — That part of the sand looks combed.
• 1:08:45 — Well-placed furniture.
• 1:14:30 — See, they’re getting along like two soldiers. She’s definitely not taking advantage of him to keep him as her servant and protector.
• 1:06:00 — Yeah, monotheism, killing other people for worshipping the “wrong god” for.. forever.
• 1:25:00 — Yeah, peace. They are a religion of peace.
• 1:26:30 — God has a plan. A.. or it’s the script.
• 1:28:00 — Against a foe who can mine under things, those heavy relatively-immobile suits are mostly-useless without significant support.
• 1:29:15 — Oh, they can leap.
• 1:30:00 — Religion pacifies the desperate, but then science comes in and does the actual work.
• 1:31:30 — How come there was more than one ship in orbit?
• 1:32:00 — I’m still confused about that evil woman becoming good or some shit.
• 1:33:30 — Why does he have gloves on– wait, why is he in combat gear.
