  • Number 10 Starship Troopers.

  • On the surface, Starship Troopers might seem like a no brainer monster flick.

  • But on Lee, if you were just watching for the action scenes, as revealed through the propaganda, newsreels and draconian citizenship rules, the movie is actually a satire of militarism and fascism.
