I have to disagree with this one. I think Starship Troopers was one of the best cast movies ever. That assumes, of course, that you know the intention of the director and the casting director. They cast this movie with, shall we call them B-class, actors on purpose to get the exact feel that you got, namely that it was badly cast. In other words, it was cast to look like it was badly cast, and therefore the casting was great.

wow my brain hurts now. mine shipped and waiting on the order. Here's a question..... which video format is the best and what is the difference between them all vc-1 mpeg4 and so forht. if there is posting describing a link point to that would be greatly apprecitated.

Man since there is no word on a US release I think I'm gonna have to order this one from overseas cause I really want this one!!

Slicker1 · 12-14-2007, 11:12 PM

Got mine from Sendit.com today, and guess what I'm watching tonight?

onehothemi · 12-16-2007, 10:23 PM

NM the when does it get here thing. IT'S HERE AND IM PSYCED!!! First off my first impressions being in the United States, is the quality and thickness and strength of the packaging, rather the bluray case it came in, is actually bluray dimensions but thicker such as a standard dvd case, much more protection for the disk, which i think is key to this format and its longevity. I was a little disappointed to see that the DTS tho was only in french and spanish, however there is PCM and dolby digital in english, and it's 16X9 1080p which of course is outstanding. I have yet to watch it but am about to do just that, so I will post my impressions, and playability on the US region playstation 3 for reference for those that are interested.

I tried searching and didn't see this. It's from the same site that the person referenced regarding Beetlejuice being released.

I would imagine we'll hear about this and Beetlejuice from US news outlets tomorrow since it's Memorial Day here. I didn't think I'd hear anything new today because of that--way to go UK!

sfmarine · 05-26-2008, 05:08 PM

Is this release going to be better than the UK's? Not sure if I should ditch it or hang on to it.

Same question here.
The UK version is absolutly outstanding!
Lots of extras, 5.1 PCM sound (engl.) and excellent picture.
Perhaps only a re-release?

Oh, have look here

I think this site announced this back in April and gave a July 29 date.

cordillius · 05-26-2008, 06:03 PM

Yeah Sony is releasing it in NA on July 29 along with the 3rd ST.
edit: Sony release will have PiP bonus feature.

Word has it that the NA release has been delayed to August 5th.

Sky_Captain · 05-26-2008, 07:34 PM

I'm not re-buying it for a crap PiP track and a commentary.

WickyWoo · 05-26-2008, 07:59 PM

Sony did some cleanup work on it as well apparently

wormraper · 05-26-2008, 09:24 PM

if it's a fairly significant upgrade in terms of Video I'll double dip if I can find it on sale (all sony titles seem to make a sale sooner or later). But the UK import has a PCM track while sony will put on a TruHD track.

lgans316 · 05-27-2008, 02:11 AM

First day buy for me. Entertainment and replay value at it's zenith
