cool A really fun movie, and a different take on an alien invasion than I had seen before.
Starship Troopers is good old fashioned fun. Is it a stellar film destined for historical greatness? Nope. But it's fun.

I'm betting Heinlein probably does. Per the Wiki:
Comparison with the novel[edit source | editbeta]
There are many differences between the original book and film. While the original novel has been accused of promoting militarism, fascism and military rule;[8][9][10] the film satirizes these concepts by featuring news reports that are intensely fascist, xenophobic and propagandistic. Verhoeven stated in 1997 that the first scene of the film (an advertisement for the mobile infantry) was adapted shot-for-shot from a scene from Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will, specifically an outdoor rally for the Reichsarbeitsdienst. Other references to Nazism in the movie include the Gestapo-like uniforms of commanding officers, Albert Speer-style architecture and the propagandistic dialogue. (Violence is the supreme authority!)[11]
A report in an American Cinematographer article states that the Heinlein novel was optioned well into the pre-production period of the film, which had a working title of Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine; most of the writing team reportedly were unaware of the novel at the time. According to the DVD commentary, Paul Verhoeven never finished reading the novel, claiming he read through the first few chapters and became both "bored and depressed."[12]

I didn't go through all 19 pages so this may have already been mentioned,

Nope, you're the first. I didn't hate Lost In Space (well, except for the poorly animated Bloop/Blarp/whateverthatmonkeythingwascalled), but I thought it could have been better. First and foremost, I though most of the characters were miscast; the only actors that had any chemistry were Gary Oldman and Jack Johnson (young Will Robinson). That may have been intentional, i.e. an attempt to play up on the "dysfunctional family" bit, but it just didn't work.

Yep, Oldman plays Dr. Smith, and his performance is one of the few good things about the movie.I didn't know Gary Oldman was in that, might add it to the Netflix

I rather liked Withnail and I. Brazil, not so much. I like most of Gilliam's movies, but Brazil seemed like it was never going to end.
