From the bridge of the Fleet Battlestation Ticonderoga, with its sweeping galactic views, to the desolate terrain of planet Klendathu, teeming with shrieking, fire-spitting, brain-sucking special effects creatures, acclaimed director Paul Verhoeven crafts a dazzling (and quite hilariously subversive!) epic based on Robert A. Heinlein’s classic sci-fi adventure.  Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Neil Patrick Harris, Clancy Brown and Michael Ironside star as the courageous soldiers who travel to the distant and desolate Klendathu system for the ultimate showdown between the Mankind and Space Bugs.

“Verhoeven is absolutely cutthroat in this satire about war, propaganda and fascism. The fact that audiences and critics may have missed the intention of this fun, hilarious and gory war film is wild. 25 years later it still holds up.” – Joe Lipsett, Horror Queers Podcast

“The sci-fi film’s cautionary tale about reckless militarism and the dangers of fascism feels even more relevant today than it did when the movie was released 25 years ago…” – Miles Surrey, The Ringer

“It aims low and hits, again and again, with hammering relentlessness and a steady stream of rude satire.” – Rob Gonsalves, Rob’s Movie Vault

“Here the bestial brutality of US imperialism is shown from the inside.” Anton Bitel, BFI

“Often grotesque and sometimes pretty cheesy too, it’s now embraced by many film fans as sly satire skewering America’s weakness for right-wing militarism.” – Nick Levine, NME
