Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) is back in part 3 of the Starship Troopers saga! Following a horrible direct to video sequel, the franchise needed something in order to get people to start watching again and Van Dien certainly does the trick. After our update as to what's going on in their world, we see a transport ship, carrying the Sky Marshall, crash on a seemingly deserted planet. It becomes Johnny Rico's job to mount a rescue and newcomer, Lola Beck's (Jolene Blalock), to keep the Marshall safe. Beck was a major character in the original comics, but was never introduced into the film series until now. Essentially, she is the ultimate bad ass, and makes this movie worth seeing. The story wasn't bad, Van Dien wasn't much more than an extended cameo, in order to get viewers, but it was Jolene Blalock as Lola Beck that makes this movie worth seeing she really was fantastic. It's certainly not the original, but it's much better than the second one. If you're a fan of the series, you won't be disappointed.
