Satire, Schmatire. Who cares?!


It's just a boring, pointless, mess.
Yes THE SATIRE, if you insist on calling it that, is boring and pointless.
The first half is a snoozer soap opera (saved only by the shower scene). The second half is an extended exercise in stupidity. You have advanced technology enough to fly across the galaxy to another planet, to fight some fierce vicious aliens, but you're just going to use soft bodies on the ground and ancient technology machine guns with... lead bullets? Really? Why not just bring some drones that fly with giant cans of futuristic bug spray?
The special effects bugs were nicely done. That's about all this movie is good for.

You got something to say about the Mobile Infantry?

You heard me. You want to make something of it... Private?
