Surviving an assassination attempt but stranded on a hostile world, the eponymous anti-hero finds himself hunted for his bounty.
Decent, but I’d only recommend this for fans of the whole series. On it’s own, it’s not a particularly interesting movie.

(archive of the original website)
A military unit is sent on missions in a future where all of humanity is at war with alien insects.
The show is animated, and not “anime”. As such, it has not held up well with time. The music is fantastic, though. Truly. However, its other high points do not make up for the visual issue I have.
While it doesn’t do it for me, I would recommend this for fans of the movie or movie series who can also handle the visual style and jerky movement that to me is reminiscent of ReBoot – (1994 show).
Based the movie Starship Troopers – (1997 movie), and is definitely not a sequel to it.

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.
Properly titled Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

Soldiers flee an unwinnable battle, but find themselves trapped in a bunker surrounded by an enemy desperate to get in.
Recommended for fans of the original who can tolerate less character development, story and budget. It’s definitely not bad.

Aliens are sending spores to colonize Earth, but when humans send a retaliatory force to their homeworld they learn the bugs are a far more dangerous foe than anticipated.
It’s a largely flawless movie. Amazing fun for what it is, which is the sort of military movie where only one soldier runs out of ammo once in the entire movie.
Based on Starship Troopers – (1959 book), by Robert A. Heinlein
TODO – take better notes when I next re-watch this.

A time traveling agent chases after a terrorist bomber.
A very good movie, notable for its unique handling of issues in time travelling.

A pair of scientists learn they can push electrons back in time and can send emails.
Calm, enthralling, and deeply moving. This movie does all the right things with science fiction and time travel. It keeps the core values of the characters, lets things make just enough sense to have the audience both engaged, confused and planning ahead, and has a romantic streak to it.
Highly recommended!
This movie is entirely in the Dutch language.

The fates of two dumbasses is challenged by an man from their future, bent on bending their future-utopia into his world-domination.
An excellent movie. Though it does suffer from some generation-drift, it suffers far less than its predecessor. It’s not childish, but it is light enough to be “young”. Enjoyable, well-written and recommended. Grab a beer and some popcorn with your buddies and enjoy this at least once.
This movie inspired a one-shot comic book, and then the comic book series Bill & Ted’s Excellent Comic Book.

Two dumbass kids are given a time machine to help with their oral report for history class.
These were simple times, where a movie’s comedy was as light as the effort to make it. A straightforward no-thought movie, perfect for getting drunk and talking funny. Though I recommend it, I fear it is drifting away from its original target ages and may only be good for people old enough to have already seen this.
Continues with Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey – (1991 movie)
