高尚な批評家の方々からはネオナチ礼賛映画だと評価されたらしいけど、自分のような酒とツマミ片手に映画見る人間にとっては最高の映画だった。

ファンなら買い
映像は中々の印象。フィルムグレインは適度に出ています。フィルムライクな質感が出てはいますが、全体的にノイジー。一部シーンでは気になるレベル。輪郭は丁寧に出ていてシャープネスですが、こちらもシーンによるバラツキがある。全体を通して画質が安定していなく、高画質な箇所、気になる箇所が点在しています。他のBD作品と比べると中々綺麗なレベルではないでしょうか。作品の年代を考えると満足できるレベル。音も中々よい。重低音の響きがよく迫力があります。高音の伸びも悪くないです。効果音が盛り上げてくれる作品なのでよい。広がりの面でやや物足りなさがありますが、サラウンド感も適度に感じられる。セリフ部分はクリアとまではいきませんが許容範囲。ストーリーは昆虫相手のSF戦争映画。とにかく娯楽作品。グロテスクなシーンも多いですが、ノリがよい。SF映画としての完成度は高く世界観の構築ができています。今見るとややチープに見えるCGシーンですが、それでもすごさが伝わる。非現実的ながら妙にリアルに感じる質感も楽しい。笑えてしまうようなそれでいて真剣で残酷な宇宙戦争です。個人的にはどうこう深く考えるような作品ではないと思います。SF好きにはたまらない娯楽作品。何度も観ている作品ですがやはりおもしろい。特典はSD画質で未公開シーンやメイクングなどそこそこ。個人的には全体的に及第点以上で満足感がありました。

There are at the time of writing this 4 ways of obtaining this movie on blueray here on Amazon:
- the one I own and am reviewing here, call it the "Three Heads" version, apparently produced in 2008, the main feature starts up with the "Tristar"-logo. [[ASIN:B000UAFDP2 Starship Troopers [Blu-ray] [1997] [US Import]]]
- the version seen about most often, call it the "Ochre" edition, I own it too and my copy does not have a product date on it, the main feature starts up with the "Buena Vista International"-logo. [[ASIN:B000R3431M Starship Troopers [Blu-ray]]]
- the steelbook limited collectors' edition, I have no further info on it. [[ASIN:B00FIELNTK Starship Troopers - Limited Edition Steelbook]]
- the "triple box set" of the three live-action movies in the franchise, which I also do not own. [[ASIN:B001CD3PCY Starship Troopers 1-3 [DVD] [2008]]]
Note that in the Amazon description of the Three Heads version there is talk of it being a DVD. It is NOT a DVD, it is a BlueRay disk.
I am going to talk about the Three Heads version and how it differs from the Ochre version.
TLDR; if you want to own the movie for the extra's, get the Three Heads, if you don't care about extra's and want a version with more audio and subtitle-options, get the Ochre. The Three heads differs mainly from the Ochre in that it has great menu's, the documentary 'Death from Above', FX- and Storyboard-comparisons and most importantly 2 commentary tracks that are simply a must for anyone who likes this movie.
Extra's:
The BlueRay features an interactive game which is reasonably fun. There is also a "Fed-Net Mode" where you are presented, during the movie, with a small Picture-in-Picture image of behind the scenes footage and interviews with cast & crew. And although at least a good part of this info is reiterated from some of the other extra's, they are presented here at their relevant moments during the main feature.
Aside from the Fed-Net mode there is also the Blu-Wizard mode, where you can select which of the special features footage you want to start running automatically at their respective moments during playback of the main feature. I guess it's similar to the Fed Net mode, but it's presented in full screen, plus you cannot as far I can see watch the Fed Net mode material outside of the Fed Net mode, if that makes sense.
Death from above is a pretty exhaustive 30-minute mini-doc on conception, production and all that jazz with interviews with cast and crew. The model-shop is visited, as well as the practical effects shop where the life-sized bugs and gore were created. There are even a few minutes with Denise Richards which is nice, since she's semi-privately stated she did not like the production or the final product.
The FX-comparisons are a blast, where you are presented with full screen "raw-footage" of 9 different scenes with a small picture-in-picture bottom-right displaying the final scene as it is in the movie, all synced up.
The StoryBoard-comparisons are done in the exact same vein and very nice too, although I would like to know if the SB-drawings we see in the main screen are by the designated SB-artist or buy Mr. Verhoeven himself, who reportedly story-boarded the movie as well, sometimes while on the set.
The "scene-deconstruction with Paul Verhoeven" is also done in the same vein, although this time unshaded pre-viz animation replaces the storyboards.
Where the extra features shine most however, are in the commentary-tracks. The actors and director track was recorded, if I deduced correctly, in the year 2007. It is clear that all participants are having a blast while sitting in the same room reminiscing anecdotes, jesting with each other and occasionally calling each other out on some event that happened during the shoot. Great stuff for lovers of the story and the characters, though I'd have loved Mr. Busey to have been present as well. The commentary track by Mssrs. Verhoeven & Neumeier caters more to those interested in the backgrounds of the production itself, but lacks not in the fun-department. There are no subtitles for either of the commentary tracks
Lastly: the often maligned BD-Live functions that were more prevalent in the early days of the medium than they are now. Short story: they don't function for my hardware at least. My guess is that this service has been withdrawn from the servers.
Presentation:
The menu is simply gorgeous, with a hilarious animation of a warrior bug loosing it's front-palps between sliding doors shutting. The chapter selection menu offers custom bookmarks for your convenience. There is an in-movie menu-bar that lets you jump directly to the special features menu, unlike in the "Ochre" blueray which has atrocious navigation. The chapters are lain out differently between the two versions, so I guess that these were chosen somewhat arbitrarily during the mastering process. I give the Ochre versions a point for putting the credit-roll in a chapter of its own.
Technical:
Whereas this disk only has Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (tm), I suppose that's the best version to have for those who have a compatible system. I do not have such a system, but never noticed anything wrong or missing with the sound playing through my TV's speakers. The Ochre disk has more sound-options, but lacks TrueHD.
Picture-wise both versions feel identical. Subjectively, I had a slightly more "cinematic" feeling with the Three Heads disk, whereas the Ochre one felt a bit more "crispy", if that makes any sense. Again, I think this was subjective. They are fine transfers and the actors even comment on this during the commentary track.
Packaging:
The version I got from a vendor in Canada has a bilingual front- and back cover and is in a slimline case with a latch for secure closing. As said: the artwork is horrible and seems Photoshopped by a very incompetent 10-year old (at no point in the movie does Carmen Ibanez wear infantry armor). What it does have however is decent art on the reverse side of the cover insert, visible through the translucent blue plastic case when in place.
The Ochre Edition only differs positively with:
- Movie Showcase: direct links to 3 of the movies most iconic scenes,
- end credits have a separate chapter,
- Teaser Trailer included (Three Heads has no Starship Troopers trailers at all, why?)
- extra audio language: Spanish
- extra audio options: 5.1 dolby & 5.1 DTS for all three audio languages
- extra subtitles Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Denmark, Finland, Iceland
Conclusion:
If you want an as complete an experience as possible but only want to buy the movie once, get this one, the "three heads" bad photoshop cover, as contradictory as that sounds. If you are a true fan, get both the Three Heads and the Ochre, buy an empty dual disk BR case and insert the Ochre artwork over the three heads artwork. There: your personal "Ultimate Edition", at least until the the 25 or 30 year anniversary edition comes out :) (please Denise, give this movie some love when that time comes!)
