Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles

Movie: Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles (1999)
Watched with: John and Angelo

Angelo and John made me rent this.
I really do like Starship Troopers--it's simultaneously a big dumb scifi movie and a satire of big dumb scifi movies--and it's a lot of fun.
Starship Troopers 2 is a low budget The Thing-ripoff which should not be watched under any circumstances.

Roughnecks is nowhere near as bad as that, but there's nothing to recommend it.

Oh, who am I kidding?

No one other than us would even consider renting Roughnecks.

It's basically a remake of the movie only with bad CGI taking the place of Michael Ironside and Doogie Howswer and the rest. Ugly CGI characters mimick scenes from the movie to a synth-rap soundtrack.

I made them turn it off after 20 minutes and we watched Total Recall.
