-Yeah, it was very different from the book, but it was entertaining in its own
right. The movie was done by the same guy that did Robocop (Voerhoeven?). It
has some really funny parts, especially the public service announcements and
the parts in boot camp. The combat scenes were completely wrong, and generally
pretty dumb, though. No capsule drops, no powersuits, and the MI wait until the
bugs are 15 ft. away to start firing (with machine guns!?!). On the plus side,
it does have Denise Richards and Doogie Howser.
