Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars

Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017) — watch online on iFILM this CG-animated sci-fi action film, the second fully computer-generated entry in the Starship Troopers franchise. Johnny Rico, now busted down to babysitting recruits at a Martian orbital station, can barely hide how little he thinks of his new squad.

Then the bugs show up — for real, not in a training simulation — and Mars faces a full-scale arachnid assault while the Federation high command is busy playing politics on Earth. Rico and his misfit unit have to hold the planet on their own. Casper Van Dien and Dina Meyer both return to reprise their roles through voice acting.

At 87 minutes the film moves efficiently without overstaying its welcome. It lacks the savage satire Verhoeven packed into the 1997 original, but delivers solid bug-killing action for franchise fans. Stream Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars (2017) online on iFILM.
