Review: This movie is about war and militaristic society and its effect on humanity. I agree with Leonard Maltin (professional film critic) that everything is modeled directly in World War I and World War II battles movies.The enemy is not relevant, and characterizing the enemy is not important. So we have no explanation of why insects are attacking us, how their weapons work, etc. The film is extremely bloody to the point that war is hell, war is one large amount of blood and guts. It also makes the point that our tolerance for violence is constantly accelerating. In this future world, there is not much to be stabbed by a body part, whether it is part of military training. Pain is not of interest, you just call for Medic! and down the road.The movie not try to be cute or funny. The viewer does not have to listen to foreigners called all sorts of combinations of profanity by heroes.The characters are realistic. Sometimes they do good things for the wrong reasons, and vice versa. Sometimes we are not sure who is good and who is self-motivated.I also liked the shower scene. The whole concept of 19, physically fit men and women of all showers and occupation is fascinating.It is obviously one of those movies that you either love or hate .
