My only caveat is that these guns should be firing caseless ammunition but I guess its too fun to see brass flying and clicking on the deck. LOL

In point of fact they should be in powered armour suits - this is just a very pretty computer generated continuation of the awful film franchise version.
One day they may actually remake Starship Troopers and stay faithful to the book.

I doubt in our lifetime. I just accept Hollywood for what it is. I do think this is much better than movie 2 and 3, though it is even with the CGI totally anime which some people also have strong opinions about.

If it's up to Avatar standard then it wont be a problem 
I liked the Starship Troopers animated series a lot more than the film franchise.

I had no desire to watch Avatar for some reason but I have seen clips, yes this tops it. 
Its available thru Amazon and I saw someone post they bought it through iTunes. I don't know if it will ever go to the theater.

I've had to watch it several times, the action is so fast to get to know some of the characters. TRIG is sexy anime girl Mobile Infantry sniper.

Sorry CGI, no matter what is CGI - it may look good but never feel good. I often get depressed at the state of SF films that rely too heavily on CGI and not enough on storyline. Similarly, my son, who is 8 cannot distinguish between a live action film and a good CGI production - I know the world is being overlain augmented reality but I prefer the virtual to be the shared stories that we tell around the campfire/tabletop not from a box.

Doesn't mongoose have a StarShip Troopers book? What is that like?
I watch a lot of old films, watched The Hidden Fortress by Akira Kurosawa released in 1958 before this one. It made a surreal combination.

One problem with live action is getting actors to wear helmets. During those dramatic action scenes, they want their own puss to be spread across the screen on the tight shots (it's someone else's body getting beaten in the long shots, of course.)
At least with CGI, all you've got is the artists who might like to show off their cool character design, but the idea of not having the extra effort of animating it through every scene has a strong appeal, too.

Yes indeed. Got all of 'Roughnecks: STC' on DVD. It has more character development in one (any) episode than the entire film series.

Starship troopers from Avalon Hill was the first wargame I ever bought. I was looking over the rules again and then I really looked at the back cover of the box. I hadn't really thought about the knives in the Bug warriors claws before.

This is Bandai 1988 version of Starship Trooper. The story is only six episodes and deals with Rico. It's subtitles and I found it quite a good story. I know it doesn't follow the story closely but it deals with the characters more than the war between the bugs and humans. In episode 5, check out the why they deploy the drop capsules.
