Prepare yourselves. It’s 100% going to be a flashy, obnoxious cringefest catered towards the Gen Z zoomer crowd like Starfleet Academy.
No it won't

Blomkamp does gritty, not flashy

That was Gareth Edwards..but I get the sentiment.
Oh, that's embarrassing. Guess he and Blomkamp have similar styles, and flaws, now that I think about it. But still, my bad.

It's not a franchise. It's one good movie with some shitty sequels.

Like they did with Robocop, the remake hacks won't get the material and will give us some edgy, action-focused bullshite.

She has certainly held up better heading into her 50’s

2nd place tries harder.



She was always hotter to me though I am a boob man and hers were saggy.


It put me in a tough position

The only con against that movie was getting Diz’s boobs twice and Carmen’s never.

But Neil doesn't really miss, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
he’s made one good movie, his first . I really don’t get this notion at all.

elysium was a decent watch I guess and I do like Jodie Foster but it was by any reasonable metric a “miss”, and chappie is unwatchable. I have not seen gran turismo so maybe I’m wrong there.

Anyway, starship troopers done right could be great but I think the original movie is an all time classic and improvement will be difficult

Heinlein was my favorite SF author when I was in high school and college; I'm surprised more of his books haven't been made into movies... but then again it's probably just as well.

The original will be hard to match but my guess is they will take something that is about as un-woke as it gets and try to make it woke.

It was a cartoon series (Roughnecks) on cable tv back in the late 90s I believe. Pretty decent if I'm remembering correctly.
