voodl's Starship Troopers - RAW edit (Released)

 (Edited)

I just finished watching this and enjoyed it. Being a fan of the original I kept track of this fanedit’s progress and jumped on the torrent once it was posted. If this was voodl’s first fanedit I give him props for turning ST into what it should have been- a gritty Saturday afternoon war movie, plain and simple. The dvd cover art boon23 designed is great too- a Mobile Infantry helmet with bug claws coming out of the top.

I found no issues with any of the audio, but the editing of some of the video was off. There was some video skip in scenes that were edited from previous ones, or where scenes were removed. The dvd menu and scene selection screens were very cool, and I liked the music for them (what was it from?).

Only other issue I found IMO, was removing Rico’s talk with the Sgt (their former teacher) during the nighttime downtime scene. To me, I would have kept that in seeing how it parallels his talk with Rico at the prom, and later at Diz’s funeral.

Quick question though, what was editted out during the Brain Bug capture anyhow?

In all, I give this a thrilling 4 stars, one removed for the non-seemless scene editing. This is a great fanedit to have if you enjoyed the original film.

of course this can be found at fanedit.org

Thank you for the heads up kaine23. This flick was crying out for a fan edit because under the corney crap there could be a great movie there. I think the only talk i ever heard of for a fan edit combined the 1st movie with the second one but I never much cared for the follow up. Details for this edit are very limited but i want to give it a try regardless. The torrent doesnt seem to be working for me though.

Yeah, the ST edit is one the few i had been keeping track of because I do enjoy the movie, and I wanted to see what it could be done as a war flick. I do recommend it. Torrent is working for me though at Demonoid. Lemme know when you connect, I still have it on my HD so I'll help seed it for ya.
