The DTS-HD audio was also quite the disappointment. It lacked the aggressive punchy bass I was expecting to hear, especially the space scenes showing the ships moving. My sub was close to silent for these scenes where as it was rumbling for the space scenes in the Paul venhoven film.

I might get hate for this but I enjoyed Starship Troopers 2 more then both the Johnny Rico sequel continuations (the other being Starship Troopers 3).

I enjoyed it for the animation, which in my opinion was excellent. Sure the story was just serviceable, but keep your expectations in check and I think people might enjoy it. Some good action scenes and excellent animation. The animation was still better in Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, but this wasn't bad by any means. I couldn't stand Starship Troopers 2. I didn't bother with part 3. I watched this for the animation and I enjoyed it for what it was.

Also - out of curiosity - have you ever seen Roughneck -Starship Troopers Chronicles? It was an emmy-nominated animated tv series back in 1999. It used back then pretty impressive CGi animation and was pretty good actually.
