    Well the 1st one was good (not brilliant, could have been better) 2nd was JUST TERRIBLE! 3rd was ok, watchable at the very least. Here hoping the cgi movie will be that of better quality than the 40k animated film (ala Ultra Marines) or the Roughnecks TV series.

    The problem is the budget. If they are going to do something like the above mentioned Ultra Marines, it will be TERRIBLE.

    Roughnecks or bust. So, probably a bust.

    Despite owning the trilogy, I have only seen the first. It was certainly enjoyable for what it was.

    Meh, could be okay if it's carried by decent CGI. Doubt they have the budget, though.

    Can we please stop calling a group of 3 movies a "trilogy" when the first movie clearly wasn't made with sequels in mind?

    I liked the first. Its thinly veiled fascism was endearing. Also, it had everything you could ever want in a movie, except for sense.

    I liked the book even better.

    what new CG animated extravaganza (s) are they referring to?

    roughnecks was ok, pretty repetitive with zero characterisation but it's draw was cg not plot/characgters. found this funny:

    "The show tried to be true to an adult-oriented science fiction franchise without being too violent, mature or controversial for the age group that typically watches Saturday morning cartoons[citation needed]. As a result it was watched by neither group"



    lol that anime was absolutely dreadful

    It was watchable. Alot better than the train wreck that was number 2. Also it managed to capture some of the atmosphere of the first. It's problem was the abismal budget. Some of the effects were inferior to that of the first movie...

    Quite frankly I find this infuriating. If the Stargate direct to DVD movies can have a decent budget and good special effects, why can't this? I guess they thought it wasn't worth the trouble...

    ...and Robert Heinlein rolls over in his grave for a fourth time.

    I bet he's getting dizzy by this point.

    I was wondering how you could not understand the sarcasm, then I noticed your avatar.

    The book was excellent, one of Heinlein's best. Very political. The first movie was also excellent, but it differed greatly from the book. Haven't seen any of the sequels, and I don't plan on it.

    Nooo! Those assholes! What are they doing?

    This is the movie-equivalent of taking a mint-condition 50's muscle car, and ramming into a ****ing wall! And they've already done this two times before!

    The first one was so cool. oh, my childhood... :(

    jerks.
