If he turned Starship Troopers into an antifascist screed isn’t he implying that the republican virtues and civic responsibility theme of Starship Troopers was ostensibly pro-fascist? I don’t buy it.
Also as a Sci-Fi movie it was crap. Good thing that the air is breathable on bug worlds because they had no environmental equipment. The only thing ‘Mobile’ about the Mobile Infantry was good old fashioned BOOT LEATHER. Boot leather, camo uniforms, and gas propelled projectile weapons on an alien world? I don’t buy it.
Its interest for me was in the style, tone and sheer audacity of the thing...not really narrative logic. Movies like that usually don't get financed certainly not with that big of a budget. You can poke holes in stuff like that all day long. For instance, why didn’t they just nuke the planet with the bugs on it and be done with it.
