Did not receive version w/ digital copy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Beware if you purchase wanting the digital copy. The item I ordered included the 4K version, blu ray version, and specifically stated digital copy included as well. The item I received only states 4K and Blu ray. No mention of digital copy. Called customer service who was going to ship the correct one to the store for pick up but then stated it was not available to ship to store. I was told I could just return the item. Disappointed as I bought the 4K version because it was the one I could find that included the blu ray and digital copy (I don’t even own a 4K player). Just beware if you are wanting the digital copy, you might not receive it.

False advertisement
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this 4k disc from Best Buy because they advertise a digital copy included. The version I received had no digital code and nothing on the package to indicate a digital copy. False advertisement and support is no help.

Grainy in some parts but still worth the purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Starship Troopers 4K is more grainy than I thought. I expect 4K movies to be much clearer than the blu ray edition, or else what's the point of buying the same movie? I already own the Starship Troopers on blu ray. It feels to me that the grains in the blu ray edition are also in the 4K edition. I Googled 4K grainy movies and from what I've read, I came to the conclusion that if the movie was shot with a certain camera or shot on a certain film stock, the grains will be in the film no matter what. I guess those grains are not meant to be removed or cleaned up (even if its possible). Overall, I still think the 4K was worth the purchase because the scenes without grain are still superior to the same scenes in the blu ray edition. For that reason, I think it's a great buy. No need to review the movie in depth as I think it is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made for its social, political commentaries and special effects. It touches on broad subjects: from coming of age and finding yourself to friendship and love, from chain of command to sacrifice and patriotism, from fighting the enemy vs. understanding the enemy.

Pure ‘90s Action Cheese
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.God bless Paul Verhoeven. This man know she how to bring together the perfect levels of action, satire, and effects to create some of the most iconic films of the ‘80s and ‘90s! Starship Troopers operates in the vein of RoboCop and Total Recall before it by creating fun and likable characters and tossing them into a creatively rich world and entertaining action sequences. While the effects could be argued to be lackluster, I feel that they were purposefully rendered this way to tie into the over the top nature of the film and just makes it an incredibly fun thrill ride. Seeing this film in gorgeous 4K is really the ultimate way to experience this film! This set comes packed with hours of special features to celebrate the 20th anniversary and also includes a free digital copy.

loved this movie again and again
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is how it should be in America! Watch the political message. Only those who served in the military can vote in this movie. we need to do that in America, because you earned your right to vote, its not given. You cant be given honor, you have to earn it. This movie is great, has amazing FUNNY lines, fast action, really sets a nice pace. The sound is great, can't say enough good things about the sound, it has what you expect for the money you spend on a disk of this magnitude, the money they spent was well placed. You get high quality content. The CGI is so realistic you forget its CGI and just fall into the story and lose yourself in the emotion and staging of the drama and action.

reference material
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third time I've bought this movie(DVD, Blu-ray, now 4k). Great way to show off a home theater system with awesome picture and sound. Some people think this is just a big dumb action movie(and on the surface it is), but it's really a terrific piece of satire. Now I just wish someone would make a serious adaptation of Heinlein's novel.

Way ahead of it's time
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This movie is so much fun. The subtle sub-text of earth converting to a fascist society, where all the main characters are supposed to be from Buenos Ares is hilarious.

Bugs in 4K!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not a fan of the steel case but I love this movie and couldn't find the regular 4K version. I haven't had a chance to watch this yet but I just got my new JVC RS2000 4K projector hooked up today so the time will be soon! Everyone knows this movie by now and the reviews of this 4K version have been fantastic.

Great satire
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Starship Troopers does a great job satirizing fascism, militarism, and authoritarianism. The structure of the narrative is so creative, cutting the main plot with TV news breaks on the goings on in the bug vs human war and what's happening on Earth.

It's a bug planet!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the movie is 22 years old, it still holds up well. Overall I'm pleased with the 4k. My only gripe is that some of the background tends to appear a bit grainy at times. But all in all it looks much better then the Blu-ray.

Military Scifi filmed precog social Media
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The book is full of military social science but the movie is more about Social Media well before it took over our 21st century minds. It is not perfect but the violence draws light onto our human proclivity and of war. Plus, there is nary a hint of sexism.

Stunning Presentation!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This blows the bluray (which looked stellar) away! I'm not going to review the film here but the 4K is the best I've seen and heard in the 20+ UHD discs that I've purchased. It's jaw dropping beautiful. Buy it!

Underrated Sci-fi movie
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a movie that is 20+ years old and pre superhero trilogies, I would say this movie holds up pretty well in today's climate. Action, battle scenes, romance.. Good movie

It's cheesy, campy, nostalgic, and fantastic!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always loved a good action filled sci-fi movie. Some of my favorite films have always been Alien, The Terminator, Predator, and The Thing (1984) just to name a few. But there was one movie that flew under my radar until I was in college (2010) and would become one of my all time favorites for the action sci-fi genre Starship Troopers. This movie has it all great battle scenes, a set of characters that we get to see grow, a cheesy love plot, and of course Michael Ironside being Michael Ironside. This movie was hated when it first came out but it has grown into a great cult film, and of course it can be analyzed for its political elements too. The 4k transfer for this film was a little weaker then I was expecting, I actually forgot that the movie was mastered in HDR most of the time, and when compared to other transfers of classic movies to 4k hdr this one does not offer as much as i was expecting. The Atmos soundtrack on the other hand is fantastic, especially when the arachnids are flying overhead and there is constant action on screen. So if ou are picking this up for the picture quality, i would get the regular blu ray but if are Atmos enabled then by all means prepare for a great time!
