Starship Troopers: Invasion is the fourth film in the franchise and is yet another direct-to-video, but is computer animated this time. It follows another group of characters as they are in space fighting the bugs that are threatening to infest the entire galaxy and kill all the humans. It keeps many of the series' key features such as the bug designs (including adding some new ones) and the random nudity. The animation is not too bad but the lip syncing is not ideal and in some scenes, it can feel blurry. The plot remains pretty small scaled and it takes a while before it gets to the meat of the story. Unfortunately, the climax is anti-climatic, lacking proper buildup and doesn't pack any punches. It does, however, portray how despairing it must be facing numerous bugs who can kill you easily as you are desperately trying to retreat to get to safety. While Invasion is not the disaster of the second film, it doesn't quite capture the magic of the original.
