Humanity's war against the bugs continues in this sequel to Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi soap opera epic, Starship Troopers. This time, when a squad of troopers is stranded on a bug-infested planet, their only hope for survival lies in an abandoned outpost, where things take a turn for the worse. A lone survivor by the name of Captain Dax (Richard Burgi) awaits them there, locked away for killing his crazed commanding officer.

There are some scenes that will definitely turn your tummy, so if you're squeamish you might want to save this DVD till after the dinner hour.

This direct to DVD title really doesn't hold up. This is a poorly written film with an awful cast.
