Title: Heaven protect us from Verhoeven!
Product review: Woodenly acted, the model mannequins have escaped from Baywatch and put on space-suits. I challenge anyone to care about the characters, including the actors portraying the roles. There was no commitment from anyone, with the possible exception of the CGI artists, who obviously spent a lot of time on this film - possibly to put together a portfolio reel. I'm not even sure Verhoeven cared, since the sense I got from the film was he was completing a three-picture contract deal by going half-hearted at this one.There are any number of really good science fiction flicks out there that examine the heroism, god, and country attitude missing from this dud. I suggest passing over this one in the vid-store, and changing the channel if it ever appears on TV.
