Starship Troopers 3: Marauder

I stumbled across Starship Troopers: Marauder on TV. I did not have great expectations for the movie but it surprised me. There is the high ranking fleet commander marooned on a hostile planet with a skeleton crew. The fleet command is ignoring the crew's rescue calls and the bugs on the planet are inexplicably following them at a safe distance. The aide of the fleet commander puts together a covert rescue mission while the bugs start picking on the survivors on the planet. Will the rescue team reach the survivors in time? Why is fleet command ignoring the rescue calls? It made for an interesting viewing though it ticked the check boxes for all the cliches. It turns out I started watching the movie from halfway. The first half laid out all the plot points and killed all the suspense. This is one movie that can benefit from a better screen play. If you happen to have no alternative to this movie, skip the first thirty minutes. You will feel much better
