I almost never go to movies but I may see this one.

In the novel all of Heinlein's troopers wore armored suits, which they didn't have in the original movie.

It does look like they have them in this one.

About this franchise, the original 1997 movie was considered a disappointment by fans of the novel, and by movie audiences generally, who seemed to think that CGI "bugs" were more real and capable of better emoting than star Casper Van Dien. This was followed by two straight-to-video stinkers that made the first movie look good .... but only by comparison.

Correcting an earlier message, this would be the FOURTH Starship Troopers movie. There was the original disappointment, then a straight-to-DVD called ST: Marauder (none of the original characters, something about "bugs" infesting and controlling individual soldiers like a zillion similar sci-fi movies), then another stinker with Casper Van Dien returning to his mistake, ST: Hero of the Federation (about how the Supreme Commander of Earth forces is somehow mentally controlled by the brain bug captured in movie #1). So this is #4.

This one, Invasion, has as its director and its screenwriter two guys who only did stuff for the small screen, including kiddie cartoons and computer games. And they're still in their element here because no genuine actors appear or would appear in this turkey -- it's all CGI animation, the people, the monsters, the everything. Just like a computer game, only duller. This was clever once, but after the 50th production the novelty wears thin. Capser Van Dien is one of the producers -- he evidently chained himself to this anvil the way Michael York did with the MEGEDDO films or Tim Thomerson with the TRANCER franchise (this last started well).

On top of that, I am not sure, but I think this is slated for release AS A VIDEO not as a theatrical movie.
