    A run of the mill low budget straight to DVD sequel. Considering the budget it isn't really bad but it's not good either. It borrows a lot of ideas from other films bit of a mix of Aliens, The Thing, Body snatchers. For a film that has a made for TV feel about it could have been ...( read more)a lot worse.

    The remains of a Federation unit hole up in an abandoned outpost awaiting evacuation when it becomes apparent that they have a new bug threat in their midst. Starship Troopers is one of my favourite guilty pleasures. On the surface, it's just a dim-witted and militaristic sci-fi ...( read more)action movie, but underneath it's actually a very funny black comedy and social satire in a similar vein to Verhoeven's other darkly comic sci-fi actioner Robocop. But as with Robocop's sequel, the streak of black humour is removed for ST2, and what we have is a much more run of the mill affair. Aliens meets Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers in this no frills straight to DVD release that's executed efficiently enough and has some pretty decent effects; in fact it's rather reminiscent of the Resident Evil movies in feel and quality. It's done with little imagination and the ending is weak as it tries in a very half-hearted way to ape the political satire of the first film, but it's an inoffensive diversion that'll satisfy anyone with a couple of hours to kill and low expectations.

    A very low-budget, straight to dvd sequel to Paul Verhoevens masterpiece. It's bad in so many ways that it would be pointless to even start to write them down. Avoid it like a date invitation from Britney Spears!

    Glad I saw this one for free. Still, lots of good gore and stuff that made the first one bearable.

    this stinks, hopefully the third will be better.

    (2004 Director: Phil Tippett) FOUND this sequel at Blockbusters one day....just crusing for something new or original to see. Had simply LOVED the original movie! This sequel was 'CAMPY" so that made it kind of fun in a nostalgic way! Just found out there was a third Troopers...( read more) movie released in 2008!!

    WORTH SEE! Follows storyline...just so many characters are bumped off by the bugs... Ahh..little Doogie Howzer!!

    can i give below a ZERO. I have given too much credit to this film just by acknowledging it exists.
