Review of Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

Wow! That's the first thing that comes to mind after I finished watching this movie. That's after I threw up a few times. No seriously I threw up. I'm a big fan of the first movie, and I even thought that the 2nd movie was okay - not comparable to the first by any means, but still watchable. So I had to see this one - damn they brought back Rico. I now wish that I hadn't. Where should I begin? The first part of the movie was okay. It's not the first time that I've sat through garbage masquerading as a film. The acting was atrocious. Van dien was awful but so was everyone else - minor exception of Blalock who actually can act a little but she was okay because she was surrounded by such atrocious acting. The writing was even worse - the dialogue was below sub-par, it's like a moron wrote this script and nobody corrected an iota of it. The plot was poorly constructed and I'm sure children could have written something better. Essentially the film lost all plausibility and was not at all believable. On top of that the Marauders are only on film for 7 minutes - the name of the film has Marauder in it, and they only put them in for 7 minutes? - unbelievable. The graphics/CGI were slightly worse or the same as the 1st and 2nd movies - how is that possible, shouldn't it get better with time? All of the preceding makes this barely watchable, but finally the religious aspects of the film that became unbearable in the last 15 minutes was not only a pathetic attempt, but so poorly executed that the film became easily one of the top 5 worst movies ever - i mean seriously does religion have to injected into everything? It's contemptible when a potentially decent sci-fi flick is turned into a religious puff piece. IMHO I will not be watching anymore of this series as the sequels not only disgrace the original, but this latest one was so poorly done that they couldn't have done a worse job if they tried. I also am disappointing in Van Dien and Blalock for choosing to be involved with this production - what were they thinking, it's professional suicide. I hope they were paid a lot of money. Stay away from this movie.
