The movie is an abomination. The director admitted that he despised the philosophy espoused in the original book by Heinlein.

Then you should watch part 2 and especially, number 3 (it’s a trilogy). The third part gist? The actual but subtle notion that Christianity is the solution vs the bugs, I kid you not.

It was a caricature of Heinlein’s great sci fi novel. I liked it anyway but it could have been great.

That was obvious from the Nazi like uniforms he used. The movie is an abortion while the book is a marvel. I’ve read it multiple times even as an adult.

There is also the Moon is a Harsh Mistress to balance things out.
