 Great November 16, 2008
I originally purchased this movie on laser disc, then DVD. There was little or no difference; however the Blu Ray provides clarity and sound that I feel was missed on the previous releases. Excellent movie.
Thanks

 Not another big bug movie! November 8, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I hen defense of our world, school kids from Argentina join the military upon graduation. Military service is required for full citizenship. During their term they learn their new environment and grow together or apart as they battle big bugs from outer space.
Yep it is another bug movie. And the bugs are very big. Too bad for the people that read the book. There is no way to justify this movie to you.
However this is a great parity on military types with the grunts being boxy shaped faces and bodies to match, the elite having pointy accouterments. And the gung-ho getting their brains sucked out. This looks like a pilot for a TV series. Male associate soldiers from the book were replaced with female soldiers who improved the shower scenes.
If you just have to take the 'Fascist Utopia' thing seriously then watch a serious movie where there is still a Paul sucked into the same situation by his teacher and others in "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930).

Great commentary by the director and producer in the special features section. This movie is a cult classic!
Very Entertaining August 31, 2008
This movie is worth purchasing if you like Sci-Fi. Great graphics along with strong musical backgrounds. There is both comedy and action throughout.
