I think the thing that sums up this film is the fact that when one of the soldiers removed his helmet and got blasted in the head by mistake in a training exercise... I laughed.
This was a stupid film, you could mistake it for a satire on stupid war films, but perhaps that was accidental. What seemed definitely accidental was the fact that it was so funny, people getting blown up in cartoonish ways, the unquestioning approach to authority in the society, the characters, it was just all so funny.
I lost attention during the endless action sequences, but I got the general gist, bugs versus humans and in the end they capture the bug's brain.
This film really could have been a scathing satire of war and a proper spoof of over the top, militaristic war films, but unfortunately it was just an over the top, militaristic war film that gave a few accidental laughs.
