Directed by Paul Verhoeven Starring Casper Van Dien Denise Richards Dina Meyer 1997| 129m| USA | (18) | 1.85:1 | Dolby Stereo SR | Following on from the success of ROBOCOP 10 years previously, visionary Director Paul Verhoeven and featuring animation from the mastermind Phil Tippett, this once overlooked sci-fi has amassed a cult following in recent years. In the distant future, the Earth is at war with a race of giant alien insects. Little is known about the bugs except that they are intent on the eradication of all human life. But there was a time before the war. A mobile infantry travels to distant alien planets to wage war to the bugs. They are a ruthless enemy with only one mission: survival of their species no matter what the cost. "Delivers so completely on the action front, with incredible bug effects that still put many of today's blockbusters to shame." - The Guardian "The sci-fi film’s self-aware satire went unrecognised by critics when it came out years ago. Now, some are finally getting the joke...it rightfully has come to be appreciated by some as an unsung masterpiece." - The Atlantic Dirt In The Gate Movies are thrilled to screen STARSHIP TROOPERS from an original 1997 35mm print!
