Though his novel was a financial and literary success, even influencing science fiction literature to this day, in its time it was met with criticism and controversy over the glorification of the military and Heinlein’s staunch political views. It won a Hugo Award in 1960 for Best Novel and became his best-known story (his body of work is wide and varied and there is certainly much to be enjoyed). Starship Troopers was originally a military science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein released at the end of the 1950s. Is now the time for such a revival? Will fans accept a new take? Or are they simply doomed if they choose to set sail, regardless of the direction? With the rise in new technology, like those super-cool, circular LED screens used in The Mandalorian, and with the intensifying desire for cinematic universes, it is no surprise that Sony Pictures is aiming to revive the Starship Troopers cinematic franchise. Only now, nearly twenty-five years and several geopolitical events later, are people able to recognize and enjoy the movie for what it was always meant to be. Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 sci-fi cult classic Starship Troopers came out too early for audiences to genuinely appreciate it.
There is a time and a place for everything.
