In the not-so-grand tradition of made-for-video sequels, “Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation” offers more of the same, only less. Follow-up to Paul Verhoeven’s love-it-or-hate-it 1997 sci-fi spectacle is sorely lacking in epic scope, sardonic satire and other elements that enabled previous pic, a middling B.O. Performer, to acquire a rabid cult through cable and homevid exposure. Sequel emerges as a routine budget-crunched horror opus that will satisfy only undemanding genre fans.Based on the famously militaristic novel by Robert A. Heinlein, the original “Starship Troopers” polarized auds with its crazy-quilt mix of gruesome mayhem and overstated self-parody, along with its frequent use of fascistic imagery as a wink-wink running gag.

In sharp contrast, the sequel takes a mostly serious approach to dramatizing Round Two of the ongoing war between the co-ed Mobile Infantry army of gung-ho Earthlings and hordes of giant man-eating bugs from outer space. Faux “recruiting commercials” that bookend the pic are the only laugh-out-loud, tongue-in-cheeky touches.Making his inauspicious debut as a feature helmer, special effects wiz Phil Tippett (whose credits include “Jurassic Park” and the first “Starship Troopers”) dutifully toils within obvious budgetary restraints.First “Starship” abounded in spectacular battle scenes that pit outnumbered Mobile Infantry forces against thousands of jumbo-size arachnids. (More than one critic noted a similarity to the combat sequences in “Zulu.”) “Starship 2” greatly diminishes the size of battles and number of combatants by having most action set inside a remote outpost on a distant planet.Predictable scenario calls for surviving members of the decimated Mobile Infantry unit to await rescue while the rarely-glimpsed bugs hover outside in darkness.With a little help from writer Ed Neumeier (scripter of the original pic), Tippett follows the same playbook as many other makers of low-budget sci-fi shockers. That is, he keeps interiors dimly lit and shrouded in shadows, offers only fleeting glimpses of f/x creatures, and uses actors, not expensive CGI, to provide menace.Bloody violence and gratuitous nudity are relatively restrained by genre standards (which may not please fans of the original pic).

The movie concerns about a team of soldiers who are surrounded in a shelter by an army of bugs formed by thousands of giant insects. The group is led by the hunk starring, Richard Burgi, along with Sandrine Holt, Porch, Lawrence Monoson and a general, Ed Lauter. But some officers become disenfranchised and feel betrayed by their own military. They'll take on too much dangers.

The confrontation will be terrifying and lethal. The fighting will be terrible. The final showdown between the soldiers and contenders is breathtaking.

The film mingles shootouts, emotions, violence, struggles and a little bit of gore. This follow-up is made for 5% of the cost of Starship Troopers (1997) and shot in just 26 days.

From the beginning to finish the warlike action is continued. First-rate special effects, they are made by means of computer generator by Eric Leven though there are Animatronics, as well.

Guess a sketch games. With the exception of stock footage used for the Fed-Net opening, no visual effects shots were recycled from the previous film; they were all newly created by Tippett Studio. However, the storm clouds are actually toilet paper tubes with cotton stuck to them, slowly rolled forward, they were darkened and layered digitally. Phil Tippet's direction (he created FX of the first part) is average. The movie is a bit boring, because developing itself in locked and shut scenarios. The cast is mostly formed by secondary actors and little known; thus the starring, Richard Burgi, has appeared in several television series, only Ed Lauter has been acting in many films, but as support cast.

The ¨Starship troopers I¨ by Paul Verhooven was much better with lots of action, tongue-in-cheek, irony and more spectacular, this second part is cold, tiring and claustrophobic, though there are enough thrills and action. The picture will appeal to commandos movies buffs and science fiction fans. Rating: Average but entertaining.
