Comments: For the first half or so I found myself enjoying Starship Troopers 3 - much like its predecessor. It was a fun science fiction film that, despite its cast and budget limitations, was decently enjoyable. But during the latter half of the film, writer/director Edward Neumeier (who also wrote the previous two films) takes the film in this crazy religious direction. Like the first film, Neumeier attempted to incorporate satirical elements into Starship Troopers 3. However, this time I couldn't decide if he was advocating for or lashing out against religion and it's use to control humanity. Add this to the fact that there was no good action going on, and you have a recipe for me completely checking out of the film. It's a shame too, because Starship Troopers 3 was close to being a solid DTV sequel.
