Better than Starship Troopers 2 or 3

This fourth Starship Troopers movie from 2012 is better than the two films before it, but still not in the same league with the first. It's CGI-animated, poorly, and that's its biggest weakness. Animated Carmen Ibanez looks nothing like Denise Richards, and likewise Rico and Carl are far off their marks. The voice actors only rarely hit some similarity to the original voices. Immersion is crippled two-fold, since you cannot force yourself to believe that the characters are real, much less that they are the characters they are named to be.

The plot is at least somewhat interesting. In my review of Starship Troopers, I posted a theory that Carl was responsible for what happened to Buenos Aires. "Evil" Carl is revealed in his full form in Starship Troopers Invasion. Carl is all about sacrificing people if it means aiding the war effort. Rico even gives him a "WTF?" type comment late in the film, and Carmen is furious with him.

There is gratitous nudity and gory violence, albeit poorly animated, so this is not a film for kids. I guess there was nothing woke, though.

Overall, I suggest waiting 10 years, and then we can ask ChatGPT-14 to reskin and remux this movie so that it will be like seeing/hearing Denise Richards and other real actors in the roles here.
