I saw Starship Troopers in my hometown's then-still-functioning movie theater as a high school student. I don't remember much of the story beyond huge alien creatures, the lantern-jawed, prom-king-like protagonist, the female supporting character with the most beautiful eyes, lots of fights in space armor, and, most memorably, Clancy Brown as the drilling sergeant. On the rare occasions I recalled the movie since then, it was with the impression of it as a run-of-the-mill, silly summer blockbuster.
