A first rate influence
I fell in love with this movie when I first saw it back in the 80's. It's got the kind of sci-fi storyline that I love, but with a unique, 'snarky' sense of humour, very dark humour! I still think about this movie a lot because the acting was first rate and I think it influenced many films that came after it. Paul Verhoeven did it again with Starship Troopers. Okay, what lousy casting of B movie actors that couldn't get cast in a tv soap opera but this is a guilty pleasure that I had to include. I do love it! I love the special effects and the bizarre alien creatures and the silly backstory. I have to watch it every time it's on TV and have discovered a terrific animated series under the same name.
