Did You Know?
Trivia
The line "You want to live forever?" (as "You wanna live forever?") was also uttered in Paul Verhoeven's earlier movie _Robocop (1987)_ by the character Emil. See more »Goofs
The "bug" meteor the destruction of which is shown by the "Federal Network" at the beginning of the movie would not have simply stopped in place after being shot by the missile. Its momentum, the gravity of the Earth, and the lack of friction in the vacuum of space would have meant that the shards would have continued in the same direction. See more »Quotes

This is by far one of the best space epics I've ever seen. The characters are compelling and interesting, the story truly epic. I know this film has been criticized for its apology of violence, but those who say that, don't understand Verhoeven sense of humor. Dark, very dark. In the same manner displayed in Robocop (Ed Neumeyer was also the writer of that one, if I'm not mistaken). We do feel we are watching a true universe, which by the way is amazing. Look at the starships (massive), the battles (awesome), the bugs....man I do love this movie!!!! The music by maestro Poledouris is magnificent as always. Just hearing Klendathu's drop makes me shiver!!!! And finally kudos for Paul Verhoeven. Man you are a genius.
