>>5746858This actually made me look up the design of the ships in the Verhoeven film - not bad, but a bit generic and forgettable perhaps (I think the lower better looking HD image is the same design updated from one of the later sequels). It is perplexing how for a film with so many lengthy space battle sequences, the ship design in this series sort of recedes into the background whereas in Alien
>>5740922the ship shots are occluded in underlit fog/haze and transient, fleeting, barely perceptible yet the presence of the vessel appears far more formidable, intimidating and memorable.
In Starship troopers the scenes I remember are the ahem shower scene yay the desert planet bug battles with the interesting incendiary bioplasma hehe and also the in-universe adverts within the film.
