Serious Sci-Fi # 7

Welcome back class, today I’m throwing you a curve ball, with the not so serious Starship Troopers, this 1997 Paul Verhoeven film stars a young Casper Van Dien as Rico and a cast of young Hollywood types . This film is based on a serious Science fiction book by Robert A. Heinlein published in 1959. The book itself deals with many social issues such as fascism and war, the movie though takes the action to the ground as our Troops encounter bug like aliens in the distant future.
