Ya I saw Starship Troopers, it was great. I'm noticing just how much scifi must have been inspired by Total Recall. Seems like the first Matrix is essentially a rip off of it, surprised I never really heard of it before.
Edit: also it's amazing how both movies somehow benefit from awful acting. Not sure why but it just works
I rewatched it a couple weeks ago and thought the same thing, there's even the 'red pill' lol. I haven't read it so idk how it compares to the movie, but it's based on a book by Philip K Dick who also wrote the books that Blade Runner, Minority Report, A Scanner Darkly, and a bunch of other movies were based on.
I think the acting helps to elevate the campiness of the movies, I think if they were more serious movies they wouldn't be as good lol
