*Blinks* Did that PR synopsis just spoil the film's entire plot?
I highly doubt that people will be watching schlock like this for the story though.

I heard this was actually not too bad - certianly way better than the stupid Starship roopers 2 - the only thing that had going for it was the naked chicks...
Lol. They copied Stargate SG-1/Atlantis with that photo. The lighting is extremely similar and the background is kinda too.
Yeas Eva, that did

Whatever happened to Casper Van Dien 
?
?
A third one? I'll pass.
I hate it when they give away the ending in the synopsis.

The first one is prob one of my favourite B Sci-Fi flicks so I have been looking forward to this(second one was very disapointing).
The trailer makes Marauder look fun and entertaining....and of course cheesy..

Looks like they got a decent budget for a direct to DVD title

Like anyone actually gives a s**t. Personally I would have hoped for a good twist like, they all die except Rico, who becomes stuck in dtv hell, making c**p movies for the rest of his career. Wait a minute, what?

saw the trailer and while it'll definately be better than the 2nd movie, that one was a bore, but it still suffers from a DTV budget and when you have a movie featuring giant monsters, you need a decent budget. it still might be good but the effects are pretty bad.
i'll definately rent or check it out on tv but i dont hold out hope.

why can't Space : Above & Beyond get a straight to DVD movie gotta be better than this? ST2 was an utter embarresment can't see ST3 being that good.
Jolene Blalock rules. I hope this movie is passable for her sake. Anything with her in it though is immediatley made better.

Theres a story? All I got from that snopsis is that there is someone called Rico in it as he's mentioned in every other sentence. Also the movies tagline seems to imply a connection to Futurama.

Artwork added
Loving the new cover. Finally a pic of the Marauder.
that new cover is much better
I liked the second one. I will check it out given the state of Casper's career.
No Dina Meyer.I'll pass.There is a Starship Troopers 2?
For some reason Japan is getting a theatrical release according to imdb, poor b*****ds
The second one was really boring! Hope there's more shower scene in this one!!
I'll watch it since it looks like a total cheesefest. It wouldn't surprise me if this ends up on the SciFi Channel either before or soon after it premieres on DVD.
Am I right in assuming these sequels miss out on all the satire of the original film?
Judging by the trailer the satire is still there.
The second one certainly missed the point. It also lacked bullets. The guns were lame flashing lights. At least that seems to have been fixed in the third one. I have a feeling it'll be better than the second film, but some way off of the quality of Verhoeven's fantastic original. Man I love that film, even if the humans are basically the bad guys, Nazi-esque uniforms and all

I'm looking forward to this, although I like the darker, less colorful artwork better than what they're using. Nice that they've packed it with features.
Additionally, I liked the second movie. It's nice they didn't try to just remake the first and instead went with a different plotline. The nudity and gory special effects helped a lot too. You could tell those involved cared about what they were doing, even if they didn't have as much money as the original. All in all a decent sequel. I'd say give it a rental if you haven't seen it.

Yeah he second one was not that great but was ok for a time killer. I look forward to seeing the new one tho, hoping they make it at least fun to watch.
