This Science Fiction war film seems to take a lot of influence from actual wars in history. The story is that the human race (all with american accents) and a bug race from outer space have been at each others throats for ages (the cold war). When the bugs throw an asteroid and kills a city (Pearl Harbour) . This cause outrage on earth and the human race retaliates, leading in a brutal and bloody war.We follow Johnny Rico (Van Dien) who joined the service for his girlfriend Carmen Ibanez (Richards) who becomes a pilot. During training Johnny proves his worth and slowly rises the ranks. The war starts and we are given some interesting action scenes with gore aplenty. The rest plays out any other war film although it's still interesting.
The one thing I would like to see in this film is more of the psychic character (Neil Patrick Harris). He's introduced to us a the start and then only plays a small part near the end of the film. It would have been cool to see him use his powers more during the battle sequences.
****Good
